This semester honestly has felt like a WHIRLWIND! I completed both my runway show and pop-up exhibit and I feel so relieved. I felt like I spent so much time and energy on both of these endeavors (more so the runway) but they came out amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to have worked with. The trips to Buffalo, late nights altering clothing, outfit fittings, makeup trials, and photo print runs were all worth it. Both projects came out better than I envisioned, and I’m so happy I was able to make them a reality. I’m definitely behind on lots of school work, so these next weeks I’ll be locking in, and finishing up writing my thesis paper as well!

Making progress
Lately I have been focusing on working with the educators I've interviewed and interacted with for my thesis paper. I met with them to discuss them implementing the mini lessons I created into their classes. All of them were able to work the lessons into their upcoming class plans and I will continue to work with them until the paper is finalized.

New Draft and Virtual Exhibition
I've recently finished another draft for my final thesis. Bella was so gracious to peer review my Thesis for me so that I could make necessary changes. Now I just need to finish my Virtual Exhibition. It's been harder to complete than I anticipated due to other homework getting in my way.
I'm optimistic though, and rather excited! I have a vision and style guide for my exhibition as well as a spreadsheet that I can reference. It's been rather despite the stress!
Spring break begins this weekend so it'll be fun to just take a break and relax for a week before crunch time hits!
