Time to vent…today is November 30th. My last final before Christmas break is December 9th. Between now and then, my life will be nearly sleepless. Let me outline what is in store for me:

Today- history term paper due & studio deadline

Tuesday- structures homework “due”

Wednesday- Materials & Methods final exam, studio model “due”

Friday- presentation day for studio

Monday- Presentation of Ronchamp Model for Materials and Methods

Tuesday- 7:30 Architecture History Final Exam

Wednesday- Structures Final Exam
