Weird. About half of that time I've been in university, which is an even stranger thought. Last week I had to go sign up for all my commencement stuff at the bookstore; I am now the proud owner of a lavender tassel and two hand-me-down grad gowns (one in the height bracket above me and one in the bracket below. Is it worth it to try to trade off for one in my size?) and the cap.
Two more months!

I had a hectic week last week --busybusybusy Monday through Wednesday (including a job interview) and then a field trip! Fifteen of the girls in my graduating interiors studio trouped up to Seattle and then Vancouver for the weekend.
I love the Seattle Public Library --it has the kind of interiors I like. Go Rem Koolhaus! I (of course) forgot my camera, but some of the other girls have photos that I might be able to post here. We saw lots of other cool things (St. Ignatius Chapel and Pike Street Market). I forgot just how nice it is to be in a city-with-a-captial-C that has lots of good design around. It really does help! Vancouver was even better. As the token Canadian I got to explain the "funny money," more specifically, loonies and toonies. We walked through the city a lot, had dim sum in Chinatown, saw some of the sights and went shopping. I went to beautiful furniture showrooms and fell in love with some designer furniture all over again. Ack. It's a curse being a design student -admiring all these beautiful things that you will never be able to afford. But it was nice to see them anyways. Some do fall short when you see them in the flesh. But some are even more gorgeous! And the worst part: if you just want to buy a book with their pretty pictures in them, those don't come cheaply either.
Just one photo --at the Steven Holl chapel in Seattle.
