It's been a hectic week.

(The preface might not do it justice.)

First, I went to Eleanor this weekend. I have begun some intense research for my thesis. I'm in the thick of the main 'field survey' I'm calling it. I am doing a lot of measuring and overall data collection about what remains of my site. My biggest challenge when writing so far has been to eliminate some thoughts and discussions. There seems to be so many issues and broader topics that I'm having

to eliminate to get to the main topic ideas..Every keeps telling me "remember this is only an undergraduate thesis." below is the Eleanor Presbyterian Church(from the original concept of 1937)

Second, I've been losing sleep still. The admissions decisions are getting closer, and things are coming down to the wire for graduate school admissions. I can't wait to receive the final decision just so I can sleep peacefully again. Perhaps even a rejection is better than not knowing..well maybe.

Third, the seventh Savannah Symposium is this week. Architectural Historians from all over the world will come to Savannah to deliver papers and discussion topics in the field of architectural history. I am looking forward to a great weekend of lectures. The topic for this year's biannual symposium is 'Spirituality in Space'. Topics

range from western to nonwestern and cover just about every time frame.

Also, my friends are having me a birthday party.They're calling it 2/22 Bowties and Blu.. LOL I might have been the inspiration for this. They invited a few friends to go to Wild Wings cafe on Saturday night after the Symposium is over. I look forward to seeing everyone. I will surely be blogging soon on my symposium experience.

Finally, make sure to check out my friend Jennifer's blog(I helped design it so give her good feeback ;] ) it focuses on Standardbred horse harness racing(say that ten times fast.
