Well it's been a long freaking time since I have posted. And quite a bit has happened so I'm sorry for being so lax. Anyway. I spent the month of March finalizing my project. I actually designed my own building! Who would have thought? What we had to do for my studio was a gallery infill space. Where we had an empty lot in Copenhagen and we had to create a gallery to hold six specific pieces of art. My project was created through a long process and I really liked it in the end. Pictures should be up soon on Picasa as soon as I download them. My building was two stories with five of the six art pieces being displayed upstairs and the last piece, a cafe, and bathrooms on the lower floor. There was a lot of thought and detail in my building and it's hard to describe in words without being able to point to the particular parts.

The weather is also getting increasingly nicer, which is wonderful and makes me excited because now I can run outside. I decided early this year that I wanted to compete in the first annual Stillwater Marathon, running only the half marathon so I have training for that and so far have gotten up to running 9 continuous miles. But running them outside makes that much better. So that's exciting.

Also, this past week I was in Germany and Holland for my study tour. It was 40 architecture and design students on a bus for a week. But it was AWESOME!! I met some really cool people and saw some of the most amazing things. I think took about 400+ pictures most of which are buildings, but some people. We went to three cities/towns in Germany, and ate a really good steak at a brewery in Düsseldorf. Then we headed for Utrecht in Holland where we stayed at this sweet hotel, that was rated at four stars and we ate another fancy meal, which was delicious. We saw a concert and did a bike tour of Amsterdam and got the afternoon free there. The red light district is totally sketchy and while we were there, there appeared to be some sort of kilt convention because everywhere there were men in kilts. I finally made it back to Copenhagen Saturday morning after an all night bus ride. Only to fly out the next morning to Spain!

So now I'm in Spain, with my parents and my aunt. It has been very busy, but good so far. I think I'll leave the details until I get back to Copenhagen in about a week, seeing as I've already written a short novel!

Miss you all!!
