Spring is in the Air?

The weather during the months of March, April, and May were said to be unpredictable. I feel that is a statement one should take literally. Two beautiful days of blue skies, flowers abound, and long missed 80 degree weather! In contrast the week before the studio final is starting out with the right weather for work: cloudy, cold, and possibly rainy. Time to pour…

The Designer’s Library

In school there is plenty to read, not always what you would prefer to read. Over the years I have acquired a number of books, some gifts, some recommended or required texts for class, and so me which I selected on my own. Either way a designer’s library can be a great place to learn more about a designer’s style, interests, and hopes. I…

Group Exercise Recommendations

These are the classes I have tried so far. The ones with circles around them are my prefered classes. These are really challenging and a great workout! Those with x’s on them I did not enjoy either becuase I was too out of shape to keep up or it wasn’t a challenge at all. Those with a squiggly border are classes I would like…

Weather Emergencies

The season for weather emergencies in Philadelphia is the opposite of what I am used to. In Florida summer is the typical time for weather emergencies, ie hurricanes. Naturally as it is winter here the emergency at hand is that of snow. Now I have no clue how to prepare for these kinds of events. The snow storm before spring break was a complete…

SPRING BREAK!

From barely escaping a snowstorm to sleeping peacefully in a warm Florida home. My camera took a short break this past week as I caught up with family and tied up the loose ends on non school work. I hope those of you reading had or have a wonderful break! If you want to keep those relaxed spring break vibes going check out my…

The preparation for this event naturally extends itself beyond this day. Portfolios are in the making or in their fourth stage of review. The activity is endless, extending beyond portfolio with resumes being updated, Linkedin’s revised, Handshake accounts set up for…

Wellness Week at PennDesign

The week back from a restful spring break welcomes students with continued focus on student well being. I recieved a very kind email today informing me of a weekful of activitieshosted by which I have detailed below (per the emails details): Monday         3/12 Sleep Monday: Sleep kits will be handed out in the Myerson Hall Lobby by a Student Health Services…

Clean up in the “House of Mouse”!

This isn’t your standard Disney tale, one of far off places, daring swordfights, a prince in disguise! No this is the tale of a gentle mouse, or rather colony of mice, who pay no tuition, need no key card to get in and use the facilities, and shamelessly scurry about but not to help you. No these mice don’t build models while you sleep…

Studio Birthday – ish…

Thankfully this year I didn’t have a full day of classes on my birthday. My day’s schedule was quite different than most years. The morning was spent in anticipation of a mystery delivery, a delicious cookie cake from Tiffany’s Bakery in Philadelphia! This cake is honestly going to last me until the end of spring break as there is just too much to eat….
