Finals Week Saddness

Yea so I know I haven't really done anything lately but give me a break! It's finals week and I have to pack up my stuff and move back home.  Oh and it's my last finals week ever!! Although I do think I might go to massage therapy school, but I don't know at the moment.

And as far as the senior project stuff is going I did manage to draw 50 leaves on that 1 piece of plywood.  I'm excited to go home and actually work on the stuff.  Cut them out, drill them, sand, prime, and paint them.  But it's going to be difficult because I just lost a cousin do to kidney failure and well it scares me because I've had my share of kidney problems, sooo I figured I'd dedicate my senior project to my cousin, Phillip because well the leaves I'm making kinda look like kidney shapes.

RIP Phillip Sheppard, gonna miss your crazy moments </3

The Wood and then some

So apparently I got the right plywood for it.  Now to draw the leaves on it, maybe drill some holes, and pick out colors for it.  Dr. Seuss colors of course.  Now I believe the size in my head for the space I'm creating it for is right so I don't think I'll have any problems with that because I can lay them out on the garage floor when the time comes.

When I get home I have to start looking for long branches about 5 to 6 inches in diameter and hopefully they're not wet and or it hasn't snowed.  Update about the Fund for Excellence that I applied for for this project: I got about $200 or so which is awesome. So no more worrying about money for awhile.

Also with the plywood, now seeing how big a piece the piece of plywood is I can safely say I need about 5 or 6 sheets which is like $100 to $120.  That isn't too bad really.

update: its $250 for the Fund of Excellence!!
