After Italy (well, more towards the end of the Italy trip) life started to pick up, and my undivided attention was needed. Since my last posting I have completed my undergraduate degree (magna cum laude!) and have moved up to the city in order to pursue my dual masters in Architecture and Urban Design. The first semester was a tough transition from working at an amazing firm to a scholastic atmosphere with copious quantities of reading and the push to further my design to a new level, while simultaneous trying to figure out what urban design even is.
With that being said, I made it. And while doing so I have made a swarm of new friends and have been provided some amazing opportunities. These new opportunities, as well as many of the changes in life, have inspired me to start this blog up again. Instead of it simply being a way to communicate with friends, family, and the random reader about my time in Italy and it's architecture, my hope for this space is to really begin writing; about architecture, about the architecture school mentality, about the new things I experience...Ultimately, I want this to be a blog that evokes thoughts or conversations. I know that I will essentially be writing this to myself, but I think I need this blog for that reason as well. Also, I know that the format and layout is a mess, and I hope to address that as soon as I can as well...
We'll see how much I am able to actually keep up with this, but there is already so much that I've missed sharing that I want to share. Hopefully having actually written and posted this I will be motivated to follow through.
Cheers.
