Babysitting is fun

My friend was going to Vegas for a few days and asked me if I could babysit his dog while he was gone. Of course I said yes!! We had a blast together. Even though I have a lot a lot of homework, I tried to spend as much time as I could with him. I had never taken care of a dog before~ It was so awesome. My dad loves dogs and my mom is kind of scared of them and my sister is super scared. My mom doesn't like it when dogs are inside the house....she keeps stressing out about the hair...but when my friend's dog was here, she totally changed! She was trying to play with him...she didn't mind that the dog was running around inside...it was amazing~

Now the dog is gone ;_____; mehhhhh~ I wish I could have a dog, but I feel bad about leaving it home alone while I'm at school....I couldn't do that to it~ One day!

The first photo of me is from four days ago and the bottom one is from five days ago. The weather in LA goes from cold to super hot to super cold in a matter of days.....it's so annoying. This is how I get sick....so I have been taking lots of vitamin C. Right now the weather is beautiful. The sun is up but it is a little chilly~ Can't wait for the summer weather~

Other than that I have been busy with school. My partner is still in the hospital. It is almost certain that he won't be back for the final so my other partner and I are gonna have to finish this project on our own. It's a shame...we were so awesome together~ But I'm sure her and I can do a good job too~ Right now the entire studio is stressed and nervous because we have heard that a lot of people have not passed their portfolio. They said that the quality has not been very good and that over 25% have failed. Apparently they have "raised the bar" on us....doesn't make sense cause they haven't really raised the bar on their teaching. If an entire studio does badly...I don't think it's only the students faults. A TA of mine said that they are only passing people with "high passes" and failing the rest. MEH. My mom keeps telling me not to worry and that it's okay if I failed. She is trying to make me not stress but that is impossible~ I appreciate her effort though~ <3 I think we are getting the results on Tuesday....I am not sure. I'll let you know how it goes ~!

My friend took this photo of our studio during a review. We are a lot of students....this gallery space is where we pin up our work during reviews...and to the left...behind the wall is our actual studio with all the desks.

YESTERDAY...

...I sat in front of the computer from 2 pm till 10 pm without taking a single break. My back hurts A LOT. My partner was with me the whole time...trying to get our plans for our homeless facility in order. We didn't get to the sections, but we are happy with what we have to far. It is tough without our third partner. We miss him a lot. He hasn't responded to my messages yet so he is probably in recovery now. Hope he comes back soon so we can be a whole team again~

At midnight (yesterday morning) I started building my new drawer. 2:00 am.

Worked in studio in the morning. 9:30 am

WIND QUIZ. I just like the title of the quiz. 11:35 am

What I ate. 1:30 pm

Waiting for the plans to print. 9:45 pm

After my 2- 10 lab session. 10:05pm

Now I have to take a quick shower before I head out to studio....only four weeks left...stay positive <3

Spring Cleaning

School has been hectic! One of my group partners has had surgery this week and will be out for three weeks ;____;...we have four weeks left of school so it's gonna be tough~ On top of that, our portfolios are being reviewed and one of the professors said that at least 25 have failed so far!!! ;__________; I haven't been able to sleep. I am really nervous~ My parents are saying "Oh who cares, don't worry lolo it is not the end of the world!"....I wish I could be that calm~

Other than that - I have been experiencing some pain in my left arm for the past two weeks. It kept getting worse and then the pain got very random...sometimes my arm would feel numb...sometimes my hand...then it would be fine....very very random. Anyway...I went to the doctor on Thursday and he checked for different things...he said that it is probably stress related and/or something has happened to a nerve in my arm. He prescribed an anti inflamatory medicine for me to take and told me to be careful with my arm...mehmeh always something wrong with me hahaha.

Bought a new top from H&M the other day~ I haven't bought anything in a looooong while. All I have been busy with is school T____T I saw a bunch of stuff that I liked but didn't have much time to look around~ This top was too pretty to pass on~

I have been cleaning my room...throwing away cardboard, old projects....a bunch of random things. It feels good to throw away lots of stuff....feels lighter. I am also making a box for clothes that I am going to donate~ Tomorrow I am going to IKEA to pick up a new drawer~ I have very little space so this will solve lots of problems~ I have washed three loads of laundry today...still have a lot of clothes to fold, but everything is coming together slowly~

OKAY GOTTA GO BACK TO CLEANING AND HOMEWORK~ Hope you guys are having a good weekend <3

My past few weeks

So spring break was over a week ago and I have been super busy with school again. My break wasn't anything special...I was home the whole time finishing up my portfolio which is due this coming Monday. I picked up my finished copies on Wednesday! I was so happy~ My mom doesn't want me to turn it in cause she is scared the school is gonna lose mine and I told her that if they do, I'll just print her another copy~ Other that portfolio...I have been busy with studio....it is almost April....school is done in May....so we don't have much time till the deadline for the Steel Competition. My team and I are working REALLY well together. It is ridiculous. We work hard but we laugh a lot on the side. I have never felt so at ease with school friends. It's really wonderful.

Nothing much has been happning other than that. Just watching/reading the news about everything that is going on in the world inbetween school work and trying to get back in shape. I have been feeling so slow lately (sitting infront of the computer for hours and hours for school is not a good thing) so I have been starting to do my daily walks again. I already ride my bike to school, but I feel like it's not enough movement for me. Now that spring is here...well almost here, I want to get active again~

Here are some cellphone snaps from the past few weeks:

Thursday morning: I has lasercut and spraypainted the skin system of our building.

Wednesday afternoon: I picked up my babies <3 I'll take some more photos of them soon!!

Spring Break Highlights: Went out to eat with my friends, visited my friend who owns a super cute welsh corgi <3, and went to a Swedish bakery with my parents for Fat Tuesday sweets~

A Few Weeks Ago: OKAY PLEASE DON'T GET SCARED BY THIS. I was sick a few weeks ago and was being emo and rolling around in my comfort clothes rotting away... and we have this random hand lying around the house....so my sister and I decided to take photos of me with it. VOILA~

I hope you all are doing well <3 Take care until next time~
