It's been a long time

I have decided to focus this blog to something more relevant in my life. I am currently attending UW- Madison in hopes of pursuing Landscape Architecture as a professional degree. It's proven to be quite the challenge and can be very intimidating at times with the thought in my mind that the program will only take the top 23 applicants (there should be over 50 applying). I have already seen an improvement in my work, but as I improve so do my classmates. Fortunately, many students are realizing after a semester in the program, that this is not for them.

I have decided to focus my blog on becoming a landscape architect. I will be posting my projects here and discussing the process. As my professor had told our class on our first day, many students have no idea what landscape architecture is or what it entails. My goal is to help everyone understand everything about this career.

While, I am in the midst of final projects being due for the semester, I may not be able to post projects up until after Christmas.

I also have taken interest in part of my job as many have become interested in in the last few decades- "GOING GREEN". In my lectures I've been given a few websites with green design, some of which are completely ridiculous and not aesthetically pleasing at all, but others are logical as well as beautiful and I hope to share those as I come across them.

Just so I can post something, here is one my professor showed me on friday.

Patrick Blanc has beautiful designs for his green walls that can make going green more artistic and interesting. It also reminds me of all of my mom's friend's quilts.
