i wished you never emailed me, i wish i would of ignored the emails and conversations we had over email because now, i cant stop thinking about what we use to have and how great it'd be to have it all back. it's not raining for nothing, todays rain is my hearts cry for us, tomorrow will be a better day. i can fight the urge of you. This cycle of you starts all over again.

exchange;

Exchange;

- To give up (something) for something else; part with for some equivalent; change for another.

Project Summary;

-The class was separated into groups to construct 3D compositions. We were assigned a specific word and as a team, scouted on-campus for locations to place our word, took pictures of the locations, we discussed how to build the letters, the type of glue or adhesive to use and whether they be bare cardboard or painted. 

Reflections on Different Parts of the Project;

- The team portion of the Project What language looks like was my favorite part. Not only did we got to construct 3 foot 3D compositions and actually showcase our work. Initially when we first brain stormed for our word we did not have a Christmas tree in mind. Our first thoughts were a bank, bus stop, telephone, library, Wesco, and stairs. We then created a mind map which helped a lot, which led us to the exchanging of gift and Christmas. Throughout this process I learned that making 3D compositions of 8 letters is a pain and that it really dulled out my blade. There weren't too many difficulties that crossed our paths. Overall I enjoyed this project. 

Team Dynamic;

My team members were Amber Anschu, Lauren Russell, Pagie Kime, and Myself. We worked well together throughout the whole process. Everyone each contributed something and did not just stand around. During the end of the project Lauren and Kim had  a slight conflict with each other, but it did not affect the project at all. Individually I did not have any issues to work with, it was just the whole building the letter portion that was time consuming.

Reflection of Construction, Placement & Photos;

- After the team finished making and building our three foot letters, we decided to wrap the word in wrapping paper, signifying Christmas and the exchanging of gifts. The words were placed under an oak tree we found near the bell tower. The overall concept worked well together because it was based around the theme of Christmas and gifts.

Plan B: Re Located at the Book Store. 

Plan C: Somewhere over the rainbow ;)

you told her to move on, at first it was hard for her, she always thought she couldn’t do it until she put it to action and worked on it one step at a time. now she’s back to smiling, back to laughing, and as you can tell the girl who you told to “move on” is now happy again. why ruin her happiness by trying to get her back? when you were the reason why she would cry just to move on. she now realized that you were her past and now she’s working on her future. you should be proud of her for being brave by moving on, instead of envying her because she’s finally seeing someone else. remember it was you who wanted her too move one, and she did. now it’s your turn.

project 2.

New Project : Make it Better, Design for $5.00. :)

my team members & i  cant decide between these two objects, 3D Glasses & A little magnet container, here are photos. :)

but during class we watched, IDEO deep dive video . :)

& it was pretty interesting to see the IDEO team reinvent the typical shopping cart. 

It takes lots of teamwork to redesign a product, out of the box ideas are encouraged. 

You have to meet deadline & it takes a lot of brainstorming to come up with the final product! 

finally!

i can finally put these measuring cups away! teehee! <3
now on to the next..

i cant make you love me,

It's hard to watch people change right in front of you, But the worst part is remembering who they used to be. & all the memories w/ that person start to replay in your head & it’s just there. Lingering. What more can you do? All you can do is let it go & remember them as what “used to be”.

Dear you,

" I’m different, I promise you I’ll try my best to keep up with your life even if I’m not really in it anymore. I know I may be miles apart from some of you, and we may not get to talk that much anymore and maybe we’re not even close friends. Maybe you don’t even consider me a friend, maybe you consider me a best friend; who knows? But I promise you that if you were once part of my life and meant something to me, I’m always going to be here. No matter what we went through, no matter who you are, and no matter how long it has been, I understand people change, mature, grow up and go through experiences that are unexplainable. Trust me, I’ve been through it all. So if anyone needs someone to listen, talk to, or even just give some advice go ahead and talk to me. Things won’t change. "

--- i found this on tumlbr somwehere, and as much as i want to be an ass to you and treat you like dirt, that just not how i role. so ill try, not for you, but to overcome this phase and know that i can do better than for what i settled for. but this goes for anyone who played a significant role in my life. <3

"I’m mad at myself, not you. I’m mad for always being nice. Always apologizing for things I didn’t do, for getting attached, for making you a huge part of my life, wasting time on you, depending on you, thinking about you, wishing for you, dreaming of you, changing for you. And most of all, for not hating you when I know that I should. - ex0rcist, (via tumlr)

it's just one of those days.

i dont know why im feelings like this or why i keep wasting my tears. but tonight is just one of those nights where everything comes fluddiing back in & i cant help but cry and think back to three years ago.
im trying my best to live life. but everything always comes back to you. i dont know why i cant let it go, its not that i dont want to, but more like i dont know how to, just thinking about you makes me so mad, yet its all i can do,
i dont want to be those girls who cant let go and move on, i dont. im trying my hardest.

but tonight is just one of those nights where you just cry and let everything out.
