I'm nearing the end of the homestretch this week, and some big changes are happening! A lot of my summer plans are still contingent on whether or not I have an internship this summer, but JPMC is still looking promising!
To recap:
The last class of 2D went well. The students all seem ready to move on and start classes in their respective majors, so it was really exciting to see the transformation in their work throughout the semester :-D Best of luck to them all & hopefully I'll see a bunch of them down at the Warehouse next semester!
The Final Critique of Fiber Arts also went very well. I ended up making a wearable costume that was the companion piece to a sculptural hat I had made towards the beginning of the semester. The class was a definite change of pace from my CommDesign classes, but it was a nice break.
I still have to finish the paper for writing and turn it in, but my plans are to write it today and get it done! It's the last assignment I have to turn in, and then I'm home free! I think I've been procrastinating on it though because I'm not ready for the year to be over :(
CMD 352 (Project Management with JPMC) went really well for me. I think it's the one class where I learned the most about myself, and I really grew into the role of a design project manager. Plus, my professors recommended me (and two of my classmates) for the internship in NYC this summer! I already had one in-person interview, and I have a phone interview later today before they make their decision (I want it sooooo badly! wish me luck!)
CMD 450 is also finished. I had my final review on Saturday. It turned out about how I expected. Looking back on my projects I can see a lot of things that could be improved upon, and I'm excited to maybe take another crack at them over the summer so I'm in a good place for putting together my portfolio next year...

My friends are also back from Italy! One of my friends, Travis, is living in our house over the summer and taking classes at SU, and another , Casey, already lives in Syracuse, so if I end up staying here for the summer, I'll get to see them all the time :-D
I'm hoping to keep updating my blog over the summer, so keep a look-out for exciting things to come!
Ciao Bella!
