... its a blustery day in the hundred acre wood ... i've been warmly nestled up to my computer, contemplating what to write for this blog ... welp, here goes! ... been workin hard on stocking my bank, think i have some useful information about agricultural research, and my crop of winter wheat ... feel pretty comfortable where i'm at, have some ideas about my project and wanna dive in, but more research can't hurt right?

Semester Goals

For myself in general:
  • stay organized
  • manage time efficiently
  • prioritize: separate wants from needs without losing ambition
Knowledge and skills learned

  • I’m interested in materials. I like the unique qualities each material carries. At the end of this semester I would like to be better equipped to apply and use these materials in projects where they would be appropriate.
  • Structure also is something that intrigues me. I believe firmly in practicality. Form follows function. I think there is a beauty that derives from necessity. Physics has always interested me. How loads are transferred through a building and the multitude of ways this can be accomplished should be a useful tool in my architectural bag of tricks.
