"You got so much to do, and only so many hours in a day..."

Today, I awoke at 3:40 a.m. to meet my integrated design classmates so we could go to Atlanta. It was a dawn of anxiety and determination, for my design team and I were to present our Minor League Baseball team to designers of SkyDesign in Atlanta. The project has been in progress for about six weeks now, and the journey has been a stressful, fun, educational, and inspiring one. The other seven teams in my class presented their projects as well, which included three restaurants, two cities, a bank, and another MiLB team. Every presentation was incredible. I just have to say how impressed I am with the work we all did over the semester. The designers from SD were very impressed as well. They told us that we all exhibited professional grade work, and they would be proud to present our work to actual clients if they so existed. I'm pretty proud of what my classmates and I accomplished, and I'm definitely looking forward to updating my portfolio with all the great design. I feel like the integrated class has added so much to my knowledge of industrial design and architecture, which will give me an edge over many of my colleagues. I am sad that the class had to end, though, and the graphic designers and industrial designers will go our separate ways once again. Thank you, fellow integrates, for making this class so awesome. I look forward to working with you guys again in the near future. :)
