I'll get to my favorite architecture-I have to wait a few days. My hard drive crashed on Sunday, so I just want to focus on finishing school strong.. Delay for a week. Oh and I've misplaced my phone so if you need me email or fb it.

-B.

I'm kind of depressed lately. Thats all.

I was asked one of those tough questions today.... Have you ever been asked a question that you've never been forced to answer? I mean the answer should be obvious, THEN you get the second grade rebuttal- why?

I was recently asked what Period/style/form/type of architecture is my favorite.

It's complicated to answer. It seems that in my four plus years of architectural education I've never NEVER had to make a decision. I'm not sure I can give an abbreviated answer for this blog, but by forcing a in depth discussion (over a few posts) I will be preparing myself for trying to pin down possible Graduate Thesis work... -ok so here it goes. In a few parts...

I had a strange realization last night as I walked in my apartment and saw that my roommate had moved half of our stuff out. I realized not only was she moving, but I was moving. I was graduating. Everything including time was illustrated and it was all a reality in that moment. I was going to a new school. I was graduating and the unending chapter that is undergrad. was about to end.

I've been moving or doing stuff all weekend for people. It's a crazy time of transition. On top of it all I'm finishing up my final thesis draft and my last few term papers.

I'm slightly stressed, yet really moving in slow motion. It's a feeling I can perhaps compare to my senior year in high school-One that is surreal and completely unbelievable.

Happy mothers day to my mom and all those other moms I have out there.

(And there are a ton)

I'm making a graduation soundtrack with old and new songs.I'm still unsure if all of these made the cut, but some of them are must haves.

I'm a bit blah today. I filled out all of my graduation invitations and finished a paper for my class. You know the feeling when you're at the turn of the next chapter and the storyline slows way down or even gets depressing? -That's where I am right now.

I'm newly single, a few weeks from graduation, packing to move, stressed, my favorite color is green, my skin is tan, the sky is blue, and the story is dragging on and on and on.

Spontaneity is in my future, because I can't allow this chapter to end on such a boring note.

Check out my Tumblr site that will allow me to upload small things and images a bit easier.

A little of this and a little of that. When the Georgia archives couldn't keep my interest I decided pictures were better. I'm turning Jen into a true researcher. =] We got a few things done for my project in Vernacular which focusses on some sites in Savannah. It's mostly on the idea of urban dwelling, and forms that exist/existed in Savannah. Pictured in yellow(which notes frame construction) are Sanborn insurance maps from 1898 & 1916 . The arrow below points to my apartment.

My calendar is in complete peril. Time is flying by, and there are 1000 things that have to be done in the transition to summer. It's a bit stressful, but yet sweet at the same time.

I am starting to look toward summer. The details are sketchy about what exactly I'll be doing, and I have much to work out for my living situation next year. Adjusting to a new place is stressful. I feel like I'm traveling in life, and I'm wondering if eventually I'll settle down and live somewhere. Not just 'live'-make a home.

Westboro Baptist church released a statement announcing that its members will protests in Savannah, Ga. The issue according to the church's statement is regarding,

"fag-infested, pervert run high schools."

(three schools are being mentioned in the announcement)

Several have also planned a non-violent anti-protest of the protest(most confusing statement ever.)

I'm wondering how Christ would react to many of their 'God hates fags' slogans...

if not homosexuals perhaps you will stand to defend some of these other entities the church claims to hate and be hated by God: the media, fallen soldiers, 'the tornado hit south', Louisiana, America, shrimpers, the oil industry, priests, the president, and of course the world. ...am I forgetting anyone LOL? I am fascinated by how stupid people can be.

Tomorrow I have an appointment at the Georgia State Archives to do some research.

Oh and I have a new addiction thanks to a guy I know. I'm embedding one of the band's songs below(or trying rather). I feel the winds of change.

It's been less than a week since my last post. (Score one for the home team.) I have much to say.

The most bizarre yet amazing thing happened to me last night. I can't really discuss it. Do all things really happen for a reason? Is time an enemy or ally? I feel like I'm on raft somedays. Even though I have several people around offering their opinion of how to navigate the rapids--when all is said and done--I'm the only one on the raft. I'm the only one on the river. The journey is my own.

I've adopted a new defense mechanism. Rather than flight or fight, I've decided that I'm more of a READ and STUDY type of animal. I guess that explains why I live in the library. It also helps to have one of the biggest art and design libraries in the country to hide out in.

My riddle from last time wasn't very successful. I had a few questions. For those of you who were a bit confused: My SESAH paper is on Cass Gilbert's plan for the West Virginia state Capitol Building focusing on aspects of the plan that solved the state's identity crisis.

Until next time-->

letting life in the moment confirm the fact that everything happens for a reason.
