Last week I finished up my sixth design studio. I only have four more to do before I graduate. That is really amazing to think about.

In about an hour I'm getting together with a school buddy to work on a project for structures. We have to build towers out of little pieces of wood and string. Then on Tuesday we are going to test them in the class. It should be really fun and theatrical. Early in the term we built tent models in groups and then we tested them against the wind with leaf blowers. The teachers got super into it. They had a video feed to a projector so that everyone could see and it was all accompanied by dramatic music. Unfortunately, my grade in structures is quite poor so I may get to do it all again next year. I hope not though. The tower is worth a bunch of points and there is still another test on Thursday. I think I'll be able to pull it out (tee hee. I bet a lot of peoples' dads have said that).
