Third Post

Hi readers,
Today is Monday Jan 31st. This week I want to really get the ball moving with my project. This afternoon I met with my mentor coach Love. We had our first meeting and it went very well. I plan on making a few phone calls this afternoon to different places and setting up times to go visit them. I also purchased three interior design magazines. I am extremely excited to read threw them once I am done blogging because I love to pick out things that I like and I am thinking that I might start a journal or a collage full of interesting things I find threw out my project. I think that would be really cool because after the nine weeks I will have a tun of pictures and things that I kept and will have a lot to look back on. Tomorrow in my interior design class I am going to be assigned new project. I am excited to see what is it. Also this afternoon I am going to do my designer spotlight which is every week we are assigned a different designer to research and answer several questions about. This is cool because it exposes us to several different designers and what is out there. It is also interesting to hear their history and how they came to be designers. On weeks when we do not have a designer spotlight we have current events that are related to anything in the field. Between these two assignments I think it will really help my WISE project. Well I am going to start getting the stuff I need to do. I will be back soon!

Second Post

Hello readers,
Today is a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I spend the day shopping with my mom. We went to sawgrass and walked around for a little but we where unsuccessful. Yesterday my mom went to home goods and found a tun of new stuff for the new house that she is decorating. I really like what she picked out. She didn't get much for me because she said she wanted for me to be there to pick stuff out. I now know exactly how I want to decorate my new room! I am very excited. Also yesterday in interior design class we went over a power point presentation on interior design in detail. We learned what the difference is between a decorator and a designer. We also learned a little bit about the history of interior design including who the first interior designer was. This was all very interesting and cool especially because it all relates back to my WISE project. During the begging of next week we are going to be making boards that express our style and what we like. After looking threw a  bunch of interior design magazines and catalogs I realized that this is going to be tough for me because there are so many different things and styles that I like. It is hard to name one that is my favorite. I am looking forward to working out something interesting to do with Brittany this week. Thats pretty much it for today. Ill be back and keep you posed!

First Blog First week of wise!

Today is Thursday Jan. 28th. I just set up my blogger account and I am trying this out for this first time! This is very exciting because I have never had a blog or blogged about anything before. Today I met with my mentor Coach Love for the first time. He filled out a report on quia. We also set up a time to have our weekly meetings at 1:30 on mondays. This way we can meet and talk about all that happened the week before. Earlier this week we had a meeting during 4th hour with all the other wise students and they went over all the basic stuff about the program that we will need to know. Yesterday we went to the media center and got official wise passes so we can leave campus everyday. This is all so exciting. I can't believe it is already second semester and time to start working on our projects! The year is going by so quickly! As for my WISE project I made up my mind that I want to do something related to interior design or architecture. I am interested in both of these things and so is Brittnay Stolzenberg. We are kind of going to team up and share part of our WISE experience together which is pretty cool. Today I thought about my project during second hour because I am in interior design class. In this class we do a lot of cool and creative things all on design. Today we talked about doing this project called extreme makeover classroom addition which is going to be like extreme makeover on TV except we help teachers redecorate their classrooms. Also I am decorating my room at my new house so today when I got home I looked at fabrics and bedding online. I think I finally came up with one! I also picked a headboard and possibly choice the color of the walls. I am so happy to help my mom out with all of this house stuff because I love doing all of this. I also need to start thinking about how I am going to decorate my dorm room. Im going to look for bedding now. Ill be back soon!
