Previously On....

I've been mentally blogging since my last post in early June, but haven't actualized any of my cognitive posts. Now, I face a conundrum: which post to choose? what is the blogger protocol for the max number of posts in a 24hr period? what to do? what to do? After realizing that contemplating this issue was a dumb use of my time, I have simply decided to fix up a tasting menu of my life in the past month & a half.

Sleepless Spring Studio: I don't think I have ever slept so little in my life. I traded mornings for late nights, weekends for studio incarceration, handbags for just...well, bags under my eyes, and more. The studio project for Spring was to create a bathhouse for the Laos people.

 

Posing with my expensive children.

Natural Hot Spring: On the drive back to California, my mom and I went to a natural hot spring in Oregon. Fantastic fun! There was, however, this man with a hatchet off in the distance(across the river)...my paranoid mom was convinced that he was a potential danger & could possibly come kill us. But then...he suddenly got naked & we realized he was just using the hatchet to dig a hole to sit in by the hot spring. We felt safe once again.  

The Bay: Currently at Berkeley taking Physics & lurking around in their architecture building. I shamelessly stalk the Wurster halls. Every time I see anyone above the age of 35, my heart beats faster & I...

a) wonder if they are part of the faculty &

b) if I should casually strike up a conversation. I have yet to muster up the courage to do so...although, perhaps this type of boldness is something I should not try to cultivate because I can foresee me scaring everyone rather than wooing everyone. bah humbug. 

Otherwise, as some of you may have heard, I'm completely in love with the Bay. It truly is the perfect combination of the Oregon-esque scenery with the hustle & bustle of L.A. But, I think the best part of this all is being able to go to a church that is so saturated with the Word. Soaking in God's Word from the pulpit every Sunday has been an unbelievable blessing.

I haven't had much time to explore the area since most of my time has been sucked away by classes, but today I was able to venture to the Berkeley Rose Gardens with a good friend. We asked this nice couple if they would be so kind as to take a photo of us. After doing so, the man told us we looked "so cute together." We were both left puzzled & alarmed with whether the remark meant that we were cute human beings or cute as a couple....
