We're Baaaack...

So it's about three weeks into school and we're already loaded with work. Typical right? The first week we legit didn't know what to do with ourselves because we had absolutely nothing to do. Now I'm sure most of us are begging to have that week back. I know I am. So far we're already three projects in...majority due at the beginning of October. Learning quite a bit so far and I'm pretty excited about it.

We've had about 1 Norton After Hours night so far...
This past weekend Snooki and myself (G.CoCo) were exiled to the other CAD lab because we were being a little too goofy. Eventually we settled down and got our work down. But, I definitely enjoyed a few serenades here and there.

Can't wait to write mooore :)

I miss Norton...?

I know right away that I am going to be denying ever said that I miss norton come the end of the month but right now I've been separated from my wolf pack for 3 whole months! I miss them and our crazy late night antics sosososososososo much! It absolutely boggles my mind that in 3 short weeks we will officially be seniors. OMG!!!!! The implications of the real world have slowly started to hit me. After working a real 9-5 job in the city this summer I've started to realize this is more or less what my life will be like next May, scare-y. Which leads me to believe that many of the wolfpack's other back up careers (cupcake shop, frozen yogurt shop, almost anything involving food really) are not such a bad idea after all. We can all run it and never have to leave each other (talk about having a hard time letting go). But since I still have a few months until I decide what I'm really doing with the rest of my life I'm super excited to get back to school and be reunited with my loves :)

Until then, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!

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!

When one door closes another opens....

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. Miss you wolf pack!!

Love,
Pilot
