Week one

These pictures are from my final group project due today. I chose to put these up as a preface to my post on this first week of class, because it culminated all the work that I did throughout the week. As my first week of class not only for the semester, or school year, but the first day for me in this program, it put me in a state of panic. I admit that I am usually a collected sort of individual, but this week, I was frazzled to say the least. Coming in with an associates degree in interior design somewhat skewed my expectations for this class. I had the "I know exactly what I'm doing" mindset, which quickly vanished that first day of class.
The weather seemed to reflect my emotional state this week- grey, humid, and rainy. Monday through Wednesday night I was stressed out wondering how in the world I was going to get everything done. I was worried that the skills that I learned at my other school weren't good enough for the program. After talking to some lovely "jokers" and expressing my concern for drawing skills they looked over my sketches, and told me that I was in good shape. I really appreciated them taking the time to give me feedback and to look over my work with me, it gave me confidence in myself, and helped me push through the rest of the week. After that, the rain went away and the week ended with all of my projects being done and turned in on time, and a beautiful, cool, sunny Friday afternoon. So no class Monday, Tuesday starts a new week, and I am ready for what that holds.
