This past Sunday three of our department's students competed in the ASCE's Wind Structure Competition. With one days notice, Mr. K's guidance, and very little familiarity with each other the three students; Eric Ton, Desmond Fregoso and Norberto "Tito" Lopez decided to enter into the competition foray. On Friday evening they walked into my shop as I was leaving and decided to brainstorm a winner out. On Sunday these men didn't win but I give them applause for their effort, going for it with very little time on their hands and most importantly for getting my shop clean before I returned on Monday. Kudos to you gentlemen.

As 102, 171, 172, 173, 201, 271 and 202; students discuss how sleep deprived they are (wearing that deprivation like a badge of honor) from all their midterm projects, I was visited by former ELAC and now SCIARC Master Studio student Jesus Abril. Jesus said "I thought I worked hard here but man, it's an entirely different game at the next level. They WORK your ass off!!!" 
Yep, they sure as hell do
Pick up your pace now so that the shock doesn't kill you. 

If I hear one more ENV 102 student start discussing their project by directing me to where "the person sits" I believe a model will be crushed on the spot

Cesar Lopez gets the award for best spoken word performance of the week for his recital of "Bidet". Bravo Cez
And to Milo Dominguez...Thumbs Up
