Sasha's Senior Project!

  Day: 5/23 Time: 8:15 Today was quite a busy day for Lily and me. Waking up on the earlier side, I decided to get a pump in the gym and enjoy the fresh air with a run outside. These last two days are going to be more “office days.” Today we finished our art. Hallelujah. We saved the hardest art pages for today, so that took us a long while to finish. We also finalized the script which is really exciting. Along with that we planned out our Express Fest ideas and created an “About Us” page for our book. All in all, it was a really busy day filled with lots of hard work.  5 Hours 76/75

  Weekly Reflection  Our second week of senior project has officially ended, and I can say that it’s been a blast. In the beginning, Lily and I had to refine our project a bit, and now that we have a concrete idea our project is flowing perfectly. Coming out of this week I can say that I learned that it will take a bit more effort to make a book. In my opinion, oil painting is relatively easy, however, when it comes to watercoloring it’s a totally different story. So, I’m learning a lot about patience and different art mediums. However, I have been blessed with a good partner and we always get our work done. I'm incredibly thankful for that. I have really enjoyed the excursions that Lily and I have been planning. Every day has been worthwhile, whether it’s going on hikes, walking the dogs, enjoying the rainy weather, surfing it up, fishing, or our art days. Most of the days have been really spontaneous as well. Sometimes we'll have something planned out, but by word of mouth w...

  Day: 5/22 Time: 10:22 Busy day in paradise for Lily and me. Although we didn’t end up working yesterday we decided to plan a full excursion day today. We’re basing our book on adventures, so we decided to enjoy the nice weather and soak up some rays on Sunapee. We spent some time surfing up the waves and catching up with friends as well. It’s going to be a wonderful adventure to add to our little series. We ended the day by watching a movie and listening to the rainstorm. All in all, a wonderful Sunday to get ahead with our senior project.  7 Hours 71/75

  Day: 5/20 Time: 8:10 I went fishing today! We were finally able to enjoy the nice weather and get away from campus. In the morning, I hit up some Tucker’s at the crack of dawn with Cassidy. Eventually, we had to head back so I could have my exit review for my concentration. Thank the heavens it’s finished. Good time though. Right after, I picked up Allie and Lily and we hit up the local Highland lake. Fishing is fun! Allie and I waded into the water and patiently waited for the nibblers. After a long while, I had caught four fish! I know, my ego has soared. As I look at the pictures I realize they’re a lot tinier than I thought they were, but my pride hasn’t been breached. Nat drove over and joined us as well. She decided to brave the cold weather and go for a dip. When we arrived back on campus Lily and I banged out some of the script and worked on some art.  7 Hours 64/75

  Day: 5/19 Time: 11:00 Today was an exhausting day, to say the least. I’d like to blame it on the rain. We had originally planned to have a little excursion today and join another senior project, however, the rain decided to cancel our plans. Instead, Lily and I had a quick pump in the gym followed by a very long walk in which we brought Maisy , Lily’s dog along. The walk took longer than expected, but it was very much needed. Then we went our separate ways. Lily gave her dog a bath and I officially finished writing everything for my concentration. We met back up and banged out some more art for our book.  5 ½ Hours 57/75

  Day: 5/18 Time: 7:36 Lily and I had an office day today! We met on the early side and grinded out our script for our book. This actually took a lot longer than expected. We started out thinking we wanted to rhyme but as we started writing we realized that it didn’t really fit the vibe of the book. Eventually, we sat down and started reading some bomb children's books. However, we weren’t inspired. Luckily, my dearest mother inspired us a bit and we wrote our script! It’s still in the works, but I’m very happy with the progress that we made.  3 Hours 51 ½ /75
