Happy April!
We are officially in spring and the weather is beautiful here in Carbondale. My
two cats are loving staying with me, especially at 4 AM when they decide to run
all around the apartment playing, and running over me, while I am trying to
sleep in my bed. But I am really excited to have then staying with me, they
will be staying with me till April 23rd when I go for my friends
wedding. Then only three more weeks after that and we walk for graduation and
we have a month break before the eight-week summer semester.
This
weekend I am going home for Saturday and Sunday to celebrate Easter with my
family. Then next weekend my mom is coming down to Carbondale to visit me here
and do fun things in Carbondale. I am very excited for both of these weekends;
I have so much going on in April. I still cannot believe that we are so close
to walking for graduation, It is becoming so real, that is probably because I
officially bought my graduation cap and gown today! We only have forty-four
days left till we walk at graduation and only one hundred and twenty eight days
will we are officially done and graduated! I cannot wait to move back to
Chicago.
But
till then I am here in Carbondale, this week in graduate studio we are
presenting our second presentation for our thesis. I present on Thursday this
week and I am very excited to show my committee the progress of my work, from
the last presentation I have doubled my footprint square footage changed my
building from three stories to two stories. I have been working really hard and
have developed a nicely laid out floor plan and a developed circulation plan to
be able to accommodate the people who are trying to get from the first story
parking/ drop-off areas to the second story emergency department. The best solution that I have created
so far was a separation of elevator cores that will allow you to access certain
parts of the building. For example the ambulance bay would have it’s own
private set of elevators that are not able to be accessed by someone who was
heading to the emergency department waiting/ triage area. There are also
elevators laid out proposed expansion of the structure. I really believe that
this presentation will be good, I really hope my committee feels the same way I
do.
Enjoy the beautiful
weather and I will see you in two weeks.
