Last Concert

Picture of the Day] Our concert poster. We are the 99%...of people who sing at IIT. XD Just kidding.
Mood] Sad
Weather] High 45. Overcast.
Currently] In the cube.
Quote of the Day] "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."

My final acappella concert was last night. It was definitely sad and there was a little tearing up beforehand, ok, well a lot of tearing up, but I am glad now. I am proud that I have helped shape an all-female singing group at this school, that the name of the group is one that I came up with as a joke which caught on, and of course #1 --I got to spend my time with an amazing set of ever growing absolutely beautiful and loving women. They are fantastic and have made my time at IIT even better than I could have imagined. I will miss them terribly, but I hope to visit in the spring and continue arranging music for them to sing.

The Final Stretch

Deadlines....deadlines...ugh...So when you lay out deadlines in architecture school the rule is to multiply the amount of hours you THINK it's going to take by at least two or three. I make a habit of just adding a zero on the end. We're told to make a timeline for ourselves and really stick to it as a reference for deadlines, but it's soooo difficult and it's nearly impossible to get things done perfectly on time with so many adjustments needing to be made all the time. So here is my 'timeline' for my deadlines to get me to the final review.
