Oh I am being so dramatic, but I do have a case study that is worth thirty percent of my grade looming over me. The due date is Tuesday and I've got bubkiss. I didn't intentionally slack off on my paper for Research methods, but I cannot say I pushed myself whole heartedly into it.

Don't get me wrong, the class is fantastically interesting. it is taught by a fellow Panamanian, Gianno Feoli. I was terrified of taking this man's class. My first introduction to him was by way of a critique for Site Studio that did not go so well. So when I saw that he was teaching Research Methods in the summer, I cannot say I was too thrilled. BUT, this man is brilliant. His mind works in such a logical, step by step manner that I am mesmerized by his words. I never am bored or do I feel like my money is being wasted. So why isn't my homework done? Well I went away last weekend for two weddings (I'll post info about that on the other blog later) and since I've been back, I have been focused solely on my Furniture Design class which TOTALLY ROCKS. Rocks so hard I have to say it ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first chair was a smash hit and I have lots of pics of it, but not right now as I fritter away time in a lab when I should at least be working on my SECOND chair. I will not leave my Landscape Architecture program, but furniture design has me totally intrigued. We are creating real scale pieces of art that we can be proud of. I know my pink and green lounge chair called "Reverie" is my prode and joy. I am hoping this Wild Lotus chair trumps even the first one.

So there you have it, I am unbalanced because I am more focused on my studio than anything else. I want to get a good grade in my Research class because I want to show I have learned...and I also want to make a fellow Panamanian (my teacher) proud.

I have Analysis Methods in a little minute, so let me get ready for that...
