I don't know what I want to write about, right now. I just feel like I ought to update about things. I spent most of today in the woodshop working on my project. I hope that one day, I'll have the time to make projects of my very own. Project number 1: Chess boards. I personally don't like the game at all - strategy just can't hold my interest. However, chessboards are such aesthtically pleasing things and so simple that you can do so much with them. I think I'd like to make around four completely unique, custom boards for my chess playing friends and family. Then they can show off my work. Woodshop - I quite like working with wood, but the only thing that bothers me about it is the noise. Loudly noises are very scary. I'm constantly twitching when I'm in there because of all the noises. Still, if I had the choice, I'd spend a lot more of my "free time" in there, just making gorgeous chess boards and sets for those that I know will appreciate them.
Another project that's been on my mind since the fall is the creation of a picture book. I want to do something like "the sights of Schenley." Even though it's not a unique park or anything (if anything, I heard it's extremely dangerous to go there alone) I fell in love with it in a detached, not actually there, sort of way. Nature is beautiful, when I'm comfortably sitting in my room far away from it. I'd like to take photos of the park and put together a nice coffee table book, something to leaf through and remember one of the reasons why architecture seemed like a good major.
