Hello all,
Lately, I have been feeling as though there is not enough time in the day to get everything I need to get done...done. I only have 2 more weeks until I start my ONLY summer class!! I am thoroughly excited about the class, we are learning a 3D program called REVIT that is replacing 3D AutoCAD. Half of our "senior" class has already taken it and I did not hear any negative feedback about the program. They all said that it was a lot of fun and that they never want to even use AutoCAD again! So I am sure that I will enjoy learning the program as well. However, the class starts July 12th and ends August 13th, it is Monday through Thursday 8:30 AM until 12:30 PM, I will then be going to work from 1 PM until 5 PM and then doing any homework I need to after work. Since I signed a lease at another apartment complex and it doesn't start until August, I will have to move out of my current apartment August 12 and will be unable to move into my new apartment until August 21st or 22nd (I don't have an exact date yet). The fall semester begins August 28th so I should move in just before that. I am moving in with one of my IDES friends, and unfortunately there is a girl living in my room right now so they can not allow me to move in early. So I have to move my stuff home between now and then, and then move all my necessities back to the new apartment, when the allow me to move in. Luckily, my friend that I am moving in with is allowing me to stay in her room for the week and a half or so that I will be "apartment-less" so I won't have to drive every day to Murfreesboro to work from my mom's house. I may or may not take her up on that. We shall see! Well now that I am done rambling, I would like to thank you for reading my complaint. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
Until next time.

Tying up loose ends to another semester!!
Hello all!!
Today is the last day of the semester!! YAY! I turned in my Lighting final project today (even tough it isn't due until tomorrow) AND I finished up my Commercial materials boards! Now all I have to do is print off my paper work for my Commercial project, put everything for my commercial project in a portfolio, study for a lighting test (Friday, April 30), study for my business practices final (Tuesday, May 4), prepare for my Commercial Jury and study for my History final (Thursday, May 6)! It is such a relief to have everything done and to not be so stressed! I am so happy! This has been an awesome semester and I am hoping my grades reflect that! I will keep you updated! I am also taking a summer class (Revit) so I will be updating soon. Until then, here are some pictures of my Commercial final project!!
Our Commercial project was an insurance agency, this is the rendered floorplan. We used system furniture in the bottom left corner for the insurance agents, above that is the file storage, the janitor's room, the restrooms, the break room, conference room, presidents office and at the front door is the receptionist and the waiting area. The room next to the agent's offices is the copier room.
This is one of 3 material and finishes boards for the agency.
Board number 2.
And finally, board number 3. DONE!

I only lie when asked...How are you??
Hello!!
I have been a busy little bee but I am writing to let everyone know that next Saturday we have our annual MTSU Student Chapter ASID/IIDA Interior Design Student Showcase. I have been every year to observe all the upper course work and now, it is my turn to show off my work!! I will have a whole 6ft table to myself to put up any work that I would like to show off to friends and family!! I was originally going to share the table with a friend of mine but we got to thinking about what we wanted to put on the tables and decided that it may be best if we just have a table to ourselves!! As of now I am going to put up 5 of my material and finishes boards, one board with my rendered floorplan and perspective, 4 of my mini residential boards, and a few print outs of my photoshop/sketchup work. I have to go buy some easels to make all of this fit on the table!! On top of getting everything ready for next weekend, I also have 4 tests, 2 quizzes and a drawing due :( so much work so little time!! Well I just had a moment to blog really fast now I must get back to studying!! Pictures of the showcase will come with my next post!
Love you all. Thanks for reading.

Spring 2010
Well, I should be graduating at the end of this semester but unfortunately I have another year after this semester :( That's ok, at least I will be able to say that I am a college graduate and that I like what I do for a living! Well, this semester is the second semester of my "Junior" year. I am taking Survey Contemporary I. D., Lighting Design, Commercial Design, AND business practices. So far so good. I think that I am going to really like my Lighting class, it is really interesting how lighting has an effect on how you feel or what kind of mood you are in. I also like my Business practices class, we are learning ADA codes and such things, pretty important stuff!! Well I will keep you all updated!! I promise!!

We're all laughing with God
Almost half way through the semester and I am just now getting around to telling you about it!! shame on me! Any way, I am only taking 12 hours this semester, Marketing (online) and Residential one, History of Interiors, and Interior Design Visual Presentations one (Rendering). Rendering is going to be my hardest class because I am not very good at drawing so the class is going to be a challenge for me but that's nothing really new. I am not sure what Residential I is all about yet, I've learned a lot but I'm not really sure what the focal point of the class is. My classes seem to be going OK, my professors seem to be a little scattered but that could be because CIDA is coming in just a few weeks to renew our certification so they are all really stressed. I already have my Marketing midterm this week!! It doesn't seem like it is time for midterms!! I applied to work in the office at my apartment complex, I had a group interview last week and I got called back yesterday for a personal interview today!! I hope I get the job so that I can stop working at CB I am just really tired of serving. Serving is harder on your body than you would think. The training coordinator was talking to me on Sunday and she said that she served a few days last week and she went home and was SO tired, she said she forgot how tiring serving can be!! I need something less stressful, I am stressed out enough with school and then I put myself through the stress of serving...I'm crazy. So I am pretty excited about everything right now and I can't wait for Santa to be here!!
On a non-Interior Design note, Last week, as I was pulling into my apartment complex, Wally from total axxess (Wayfm) was talking about how we some times treat God like a vending machine. We put in our prayer, expect him to fulfill that prayer and when it isn’t fulfilled…we get mad at the machine, kicking and shaking it, trying to get that prayer out. He discusses how it is a vicious circle, we give God total control of our lives but then a few weeks later we try to control it and yet again get frustrated. He then admits, this may not be a common thing but that is what happens to me and I wanted to call him and say NO that happens to me too!! I just can’t seem to give God total control! I recently declared (again) that I am going to stop controlling my life so much and let God’s plan run its course, hopefully this time I can take a step forward in this process instead of 2 steps back. I am trying so hard to have things the way I want them, WHEN I want them and it is killing me!! You can’t fight God’s will. God’s plan is the only plan and we tend to forget that.
The radio dj then ended the speech with a song that I found amusing and delightful:
“Laughing with” by Regina Spektor
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood
*Chorus*
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital

poor
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
