LOL

So my Bolivia mission trip team is doing a 34-day fasting chain, where each member of our team fasts a day from 9PM-9PM the next day. 

I almost forgot that today was my day but thankfully I remembered it time. I think when you’re fasting you really become aware of how awesome food is and how easy it is to just take a nomnom out of a delicious, freshly cooked meal that you’ve only dreamt about the past five months  prior to reuniting with home-cooked food. And realize how silly it was of you to sign up to fast on the day of the ice cream social at church. LOL.

But that’s okay. A joyful servant is a fulfilled one, right?? TIME TO FEAST ON THE WORD OF GOD. AMIRITE!!

THAS RITE.

Happy

I’m super happy. I’ve honestly enjoyed every aspect of Rice this semester—even pulling those all nighters for studio and studying for finals during dead days. God has truly given me joy in everything, and I’m pretty much in love with the people at Rice. In hindsight, Rice is clearly the most perfect school I could ever ask for in aspects that I didn’t even consider. Coming back from summer conference, Rice was clearly the most diverse group out of the 20ish schools that attended, which makes me so thankful to be here. I’ve never felt more at home, and I’m definitely going to miss everyone, especially the graduating seniors. I love my church. I love architecture. I love RUF. I love Martel.

this probably sounds pretty gushy but I just can’t believe how fast time goes. I feel like I have 4 different families here and definitely I’m not quite ready to leave yet. But God is good; summer will be nice. I’m excited to go back. 

Till August, my dear loves! <3 

ps. more to come on summer conference later.

Permalink PROJECTING THE CONTRAPPOSTO HOUSE: ARCH 102 FINAL REVIEW.After a crazy charrette week of getting little to no sleep, staying up continuously from Friday to Sunday without actually going back to my room, living off double-shot espressos &amp; late night coffee, taking an hour nap on the hallway floor of Anderson Hall out of sheer desperation and exhaustion, becoming delirious at wee hours in the morning, spending the last few hours/days/weeks camped out in studio &amp; getting callouses on my hand from gluing/cutting museum board, late night Charrette breaks and Whattaburger at 3AM, redoing my entire model &amp; axon multiple times..I&#8217;M DONE!!But actually, the sheer insanity of this semester has only caused me to love architecture and the RSA even more. After sacrificing sleep, proper nourishment &amp; my social life for the sake of architecture do I realize that I really must love something to be able to bear all those late nights and painfully meticulous models. And most of what makes me love architecture is the culture of Rice Architecture; of course it&#8217;s an awesome, internationally accredited program with consistently high rankings&#8212;yet, the best part of studio is the studio itself. We are competitive, but only with ourselves&#8212;there is no sense of cut-throat competitiveness prevalent in so many other architecture schools because we&#8217;re all so individualized and we have a mutual respect for each other. I really love my project and what I came up with, but I&#8217;m equally proud of all the other archis in my class if not only for the fact that I understand the blood, sweat, and tears it took for them to push their limits and to make the very best project they could. Architecture students at Rice are almost notorious for spending so much time in studio and being in a constant state of sleep deprivation&#8230;which for the most part is true LOL. Yet, I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to land in a major that I love, in a school that makes me happy, and with some of the most creative, eclectic, talented and inspiring people as my peers. I&#8217;M SO BLESSED.
