Long day is long!

1. We finished doing presentations this morning in studio. I feel like I didn't really talk that long, but I tried to talk pretty slow so it could seem like I said more than I did, HAHAH. Anyway, the feedback that I got was along the lines of I need to choose between the presence of structure or the absence of structure for my thesis project, lol. I'm pretty sure I'm leaning more towards the presence of structure because I like it more when the structure is expressed clearly. I mean, having big cantilevers and stuff that looks gravity-defying is all well and good, but I dunno.. I kind of feel like I don't want to head in that direction. Some people also said that the projects I showed all have one big/grand gesture and maybe I can play off that in my design. We'll see, lol.



2. We also talked about our field trip in studio today! We basically narrowed it down to either:
   
   
   • New York
   • Chicago
   • Vancouver/Seattle/Portland
   • New Orleans
   
   After that we were in groups doing some research about prices and things to do and stuff like that so we could figure out overall cost and we're going to vote on it on Monday. I haven't looked at all the spreadsheets yet that each group did, but I was in the NY group so right now, I'm more inclined to go to NY, lol. But yeah, all of the places sound pretty good, so I would be fine with wherever we're going regardless. The only thing I kind of don't like is the Vancouver/Seattle/Portland trip we would be spending time on the on the train traveling between them all three places, lol. But yeah, I'm a little sad that we're not going out of the country, but I guess that was to be expected because it'd probably be twice as expensive. (Right now all four options are about $800-ish.)



3. Just a short little rant thing about Project Runway since I just watched this week's episode... WTF IS GRETCHEN DOING IN THE TOP?! Like, seriously, what did Gretchen do to get the judges to like her so damn much?! Because those dresses were horrible! The high fashion one, OMFG, WTF WERE THOSE FEATHERS?! When Michael Kors said he liked the feathering, I got so annoyed because I thought the feathering was the absolute WORST part! It looked like some bird molted on the dress!~ And also, her ready to wear look was so old! And then when Grethen was all like OMG HOT about her second dress and then she said, "Holla!" I just about DIED from secondhand embarrassment! THAT WAS HORRIBLE AND AWKWARD AND JUST NO, DON'T TALK LIKE THAT! She can't pull off saying that!
   
   But yeah, OMG Mondo!~ ♥♥♥ He is just so adorable and I love him and I love that he won, even though I kinda liked Andy's looks better, lol. XP And gosh, the Valerie VS Ivy thing! I love some of Valerie's earlier stuff and I pretty much think Ivy is a bitch, but I have to say that I was a little upset that Ivy got kicked off 'cause I didn't think she deserved it. Valerie's stuff this week was horrible and if we're just judging from this week, she deserved to go. (Well, okay, Gretchen actually deserves to go the most because her dresses = EWW, but for some reason she wasn't on the bottom!)



4. Lastly, OMG my brother made a FB account today! That is so weird and awkward because he doesn't really have anything and now he has FB! Not that I have anything incriminating on my FB, but just seeing him there is weird, haha. Also, I'm not used to interacting with him online in such a public forum -- like, my only online interaction with him is through IM and you know, when I'm IMing aznearthdragon or my brother, I'm always typing super ridiculous because we're family and we understand our shared weirdness, lol, but I saw someone write on his wall and him respond and it was just weird. Like, I've never seen him type that way or interact with his friends before! I will pretty much be shocked about this for a long while before it processes in my mind, lol.

I'm so tired from this long day...

Long day is long!
