Hello, my name is snooki, and I am an Interior Design obsessed nerd...

As much as I complain about the amount of work
I constantly have, the lack of sleeping, eating, showering,
and free time that exists in my life, when it comes down to it I am an Interior Design nerd through and through. While searching for a sleeper sofa for a client at work today I allowed myself to get distracted by the fabulous website in which I was searching. Typically I am not the ultra modern type but I do have an attraction to bold, geometric designs. Ligne Roset has me designing my non-existent apartment in my head with every single piece of their furniture, accessories, lighting etc. What initially caught my eye and had me talking to myself at my desk about how beautiful it was, was the Calin 2 Fireside chair. One word, AMAZING! It's the type of piece that makes ultra modern not seem so scary. I want to go curl up in that chair because it just like wonderfully comfortable but it still has this beautiful, bold and elegant geometric draping work that is somewhat reminiscent of an evening gown. Then I found these wonderful transparent chandelier-esq with a modern twist wall sconces. This site just keeps getting better and better. I could go on all day about all the amazing things I found but I suggest you go take a look and find out for yourself how spectacular Ligne Roset is (I know we're all always looking for a good distraction so here it is, I give you permission)

hello from the big city!

Hello everyone!

I can't believe I've already been home for a month and half, actually I can believe it because it is boring as anything at home. Most of my friends have the right idea and have a house at school where they live all summer with their friends. Since I'm stuck at home missing my wolf pack like crazy I've gotten an internship in NYC to pass by the time. Its more of a 9-5 job than an internship but you catch my drift. I'm actually working for a commercial design firm which I never thought I would do in my life. I've always wanted to do residential design and had a slight hate for all things commercial design. The codes, the constant back and forth between 50 million different people working on the project, and the lack of "fun" products. So we'll see how this experience goes. I'm going in with an open mind and if all else fails I've got a step up on Contract for next semester. Hopefully with my newly busy schedule I'll find some time to slip off to the beach and soak up some rays, I don't want to come back to school looking pale do I? Well I hope everyone else is having a fabulous summer so far and is getting as much R&R as possible before the inevitable return to Norton (ick).

P.S. I hope you guys like the new layout! If you ever want to comment on something or want us to talk about something specific e-mail us at nortonhallwolfpack@gmail.com!

Boredom Strikes

I just looked at projects from first semester sophomore year. All I can say is, whoaaaaaaaaa nelly! My, have things changed. I think I finally just realized how much I've learned. Kind of sad it hasn't hit me until now. But, I guess it had to at some point! I think we've all come a very long way since then, and we have a long way to go. You never stop learning, I just learned a great deal from the somewhat ridiculous mistakes I made on my first drafting project. Can't help but laugh though.

I can't believe that the wolfpack is going to be the oldest in Norton, (SENIORS!) besides the faculty of course. It just boggles my mind how it went by so fast. I've got lots to learn and can tell you right now that I am no where close to being ready for a big girl job in the real world. If only I could lay low for about...5 more years? Then I'll be ready. Maybe?

Hope summer is going well for every one! Mine is somewhat boring. I'm having major wolfpack withdrawal and don't know if I'll be able to last the whole summer.

PS - I think we should keep everyone updated on our oh so exciting summer activities!

So.... WE ARE OFFICAILLY SENIORS!! I find myself 3 hours from High Point and Norton Hall and I never thought I would miss it so much. It has been a year of ups and downs but our Interior design family has suck together every step of the way. As our Junior year come to an end we all stand at a new beginning. Summer is always fun and spontaious and we are all awaiting great opertunities for summer work. Bring on the summer and bring us back home to Norton Hall Safe and sound in the fall.

Burnt Out.

So. It's been awhile since we've last blogged. It's probably because we're so burnt out. I'm ready for summer. I don't think I've ever been so excited to go home. Luckily, this finals week has been a lot less stressful than last semester. We got most of our big projects out of the way in the middle of the semester. Not going to lie, I almost prefer that. I like not being stressed at the end of the year. Is this what it's like to almost have a normal major? Just wondering...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...NOT

Folks, I feel it coming. With less than 3 weeks until classes are finished for the semester I can see finals creeping up behind me. All the signs are there, staying up all night studying/working just to sleep for a few hours and get up early to study some more. Copious amounts of anything containing caffeine is being consumed (preferably cherry coke at any hour of the day). Late night runs to the C-Store to purchase snacks to munch on just to keep ourselves awake during those late hours. Ohhhh how I've missed it but you know what all this sleep deprivation means? Lots of late night giggle fits in Norton producing the oh so amusing blog posts we seem to manifest. So while you guys get psyched up for that I'm going to go back to studying for my two tests today.

Peace out blogging world,

Snooks
