Hello Again everyone!
Its midterm week here at Syracuse! Its been so busy lately with all our projects being due. We are on the last step of our interior design projects and we're finally starting to make our abstract models into inhabitable spaces. My sculpture project is also due soon. Its amazing how quickly you learn and get comfortable with different media. I had never worked in metals before so I was intimidated to use the large power tools and fire equipment that are in the metals shop. However, now after working on my project I feel like I am finally comfortable with them and can move into really exploring their different effects and interesting ways of manipulating their capabilities.

My roommate and I took a day trip last saturday to get away from all the stress of midterms. It was beautiful fall weather so we checked out some of the other attractions of the Syracuse area instead of just the campus. We went to Greenlakes state park and it was absolutely beautiful. The lakes are a strong turquois color that contrasts well with the yellows and oranges of fall right now. It was so nice to take a walk around the lakes and just relax for a few hours! Syracuse has such a beautiful area around the city! I'm glad we took the time to explore it.
