I really like this new song and I think it is going in a good direction for pop music right now. Very electro pop and digital without sounding ancient 80s. Her voice is also nice and quite light.
I came in at one as opposed to three on Saturday. Maybe not my best decision to come in and work a 10hr shift as opposed to an 8hr one. But the money is good so I can't complain, except for the pain in my shoulders (a bit sore). So far not that many people have come by, but it is picking up. One success we can attribute to is our location - underneath an apartment building in West Campus. It's something I always try to champion in my voice and design, that it's best to go with a mixed use approach that really exemplifies the complexity of the city and fosters density through interaction. It is also nice to interact with the good looking people who come into the store. ^^ Now that the French Open is over, I have begun to refocus on my design work. Tomorrow is my day off, so I am headed to the library for the day to research, read and design. I'll post my thoughts as I work through the process.
Design your day!
Also, this is one of the reasons I wish to learn Dutch and why I love urban design.

I reheard this song a few days ago and it brought back all of these memories.
Ok, so I've been very out of it for a good week and a half.
1) French Open!
2) My birthday was last Saturday. My 21st.
3) I left my phone in my friend's car and didn't have it for a week.
4) I hadn't started work.
But now things are getting back on track. The French Open is closing up shop this weekend, and though World Cup will start soon I can just put the games on in the background while I focus on some competition entries. I feel completely rested and recharged from all of my school jet lag, so I think I can get myself in good shape and improve my design work. This also comes after I found out yesterday that a friend of mine from my former year didn't pass Sound Building. I know that whatever happens she is a strong woman and will be fine, but it hits close to home and I don't like this anxious feeling. I just have to take it to heart and fight my way out.
My 21st was something else. What I can say about it is that I did do my 21 shots, I got a body shot at Coyote Ugly (completely worth it), and that I will never drink that much ever again haha. But because of this I left my phone in my car it made things that much more difficult for the following week. I had to keep my facebook open all day and I felt limited in my movement and what I could do. I have to be more conscious of where my things are from now on, I don't want that to have any more hindrances it just gets me off my groove.
At least now I have my job though, and that makes me feel fantastic. We just opened so it was a bit slow, but I really enjoy the environment and I like my co-workers. A bonus as well is that I can walk to work, and I have a lot of friends nearby that can visit me. In fact, I had some high school friends come in last night. Blast from the past.
Overall I feel that there are somethings that haven't really gone my way, but if I take my problems and look at them from another point of view, then I can see the better side of things. I mean, it could be much worse - and in architecture it's all about perspective. My view will not be the same as yours. So if I can change how I perceive things, I can improve my position. This is my weekend challenge.
For now, I will enjoy tennis on tv.
