Final Hand In and I'm off!!

Today I had my second hand in of the semester in my main Studio course. Let me just say they really do things differently here. So here are a few shots of my submission. It includes a small piece of text (approx. 150 words), a section, a plan, some materiality, and a white card model. Think very very abstractly though. Here's my class's submission exhibit:

My Project








With that out of my brain I was able to focus on... TRAVEL!!! So I spent a lot of the day planning and researching for the trip I am taking with my Mom after the semester. And then of course I also had to pack for my trip to Thailand and Laos. I leave tomorrow!

I decided I really wanted to travel with a small pack and pack light. I am going for 2.5 weeks with a 34 L pack. For those of you who don't know what that looks like, fret not, I will post a picture soon. I have to admit I'm quite proud of myself for making everything I felt I 'needed' and then some, fit with relative ease. And I kinda love my backpack! I hope its going to work out as great as it seems.

Here are some photos:

1 - face mask for sleeping

2 - mini bottles of  hand sanitizer
