jan-feb: my first mardi gras, and it was pretty cah-raze-eee!!!
march-april:attended many parties, jazz fest, went to LA for about a week, turned 25 at the end of april...get ready thirty cause here i come baby...yeah!
may-june: finished my branding studio and MTV rocked out at my presentation...this picture was taken afterward
june-july: worked over the summer in a design/build studio and everyone was out of town so i had some time to myself and took some photos of french quarter, did some research for thesis at my site.. trip to rural studio for camp out
august: getting ready to start the construction on the house we were designing...getting things finalized and working on that first paper due for thesis...the initial proposal.... i actually stayed in town for a "small" tropical storm that took out quite a bit of the power lines out--which kind of freaked me out but was also kind of interesting since i was looking out my 8 story high window out onto the city...it was pretty surreal....flew home for a 4 day break before school started again
katrina hits, and i'm figuring that we would be back in a week or so, just a short delay when we find out how bad it really is--four friends evacuated to my house and we find out that we have to apply to schools for the semester because Tulane is closed down...
september: at a moments notice we fly out to philadelphia and have to find a house for up to six students because we are all scared out of our element and want to stick together
october: settling in @ penn and meeting people, met adam who is at penn--friend of jenn, took a class trip(over the halloween weekend) to new mexico for a week and really got to know some of the people we were in classes with, road trip to west point--jenn's house and lancaster pennsylvania
november: preparing thesis papers and other assignments for up-coming due dates--school is really reving up and we are really just starting to get to know the professors and other classmates, neighbors, and the city of philly---finding out that i'm going to be living on a cruise ship in spring
december: finalizing our papers and submitting them, thesis presentation to penn, saying goodbye to everyone at penn and making preperations for closing the house, getting final information from profs and flying back to dfw for a last minute christmas...
with a year like this who knows what could happen next year. my predictions: living on a cruise ship, finishing up a design thesis, graduating, looking for a job....
song of 2005 : "everyday is a winding road"
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
May you always have a friend by your side, a song in your heart, and a drink in your hand!!
