DTGTDD?

Our life always seems to come full circle... let me explain a little.

We go about our lives as normal, like we are not going completely insane, in hopes that we can avoid the inevitable. We attend class, occasionally make it to the gym, and eat way more than we should. Why is it that we always end up back in the same predicament? On the carpeted road to Peaches and Cream Insane Asylum. Are you DTGTPACIA (down to go to Peaches and Cream Insane Asylum)? We aren't either, but we have come to terms with the fact that it's going to happen whether we like it or not.

Uh oh!... Snooks is gettin' fiesty. I should remind her that we need to stick together on the carpeted road to PACIA.

Life is tough right now. I have hit a road block in my project and am sitting here wondering what to do next. That has happened many times to all of us...we even named it (the zoom-in, zoom-out predicament). *See below blog for explanation.

Glynn Coco is queen of cutting corners. Sometimes we just randomly feel like hugging each other and when she finds ways to cut corners, it's definately one of those times. We hug everything out... it's a wonderful feeling. Since we don't see many people in the outside world, knowing that the friends you spend all your time with actually love you...is a great feeling!

The outside world is calling, so for now, stay sane.

Packing for a small vacation...or Norton

So as I was in my apartment preparing myself to come to Norton I fell upon a realization. Packing for going to Norton is like packing for a small vacation. I leave with no less than a backpack and my purse (and when I say purse think more along the lines of "Mary Poppins Bag"). Some of the necessities for a trip to Norton include but are not limited to...

- Extra Clothing...Sweatshirt, socks, sweatpants, slippers etc. Sometimes a blanket is included
-Computer, cell phone, iPod
-Chargers for all above items-you will be there long enough for all of these items to die and recharge multiple times
-Movies to watch on your computer (usually a minimum of 5 dvds plus whatever we can find on netflix)
- Snacks and Drinks-I currently have a few bags of cheez-its, a diet coke, my big nalgene filled with water. This does not include what snacks are already stashed away in my locker, as well as the multiple breaks we'll be taking to get MORE snacks throughout the day
- And then of course our notebooks & textbooks necessary to complete our projects

On the occasion when we really go all out and are here for 38940274893 hours at a time, items such as pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, and air mattresses can be found scattered around the CAD lab as well.

Hopefully we'll be out of here before we need to go back to gather up sleeping supplies. Wish us luck with this crazy project!

Road to the Block

So, Pilot and I have been in here for hmm...two hours? Guess how much we've gotten done. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Oops?

We have redefined detailing for Webster's Dictionary.

Detailing (n.): Death.

I say that pretty much sums it up.

It's so hard when you don't know what you're doing. I've been sitting here Googling and looking at my text book hoping the information will jump into my brain. So far, it hasn't and I'm beginning to think that it never will.

I just keep getting more and more frustrated which makes me want to walk away and never come back. One problem, I kind of need to graduate so that's not really an option.

Maybe Pilot and I will magically understand what we're doing. But so far this Friday night has been worthless.

Sincerely,

Glynn CoCo

Zoom in, Zoom out...

Well... here we are again. Back to business in good ol' Norton Hall. We, as usual these days we are rather confused about out interior detailing project due next week. Our attempts to work productively are true, but road blocks are frequently landing us in the inevitable zoom-in, zoom-out rut. We have found ourselves scrolling around our CAD screens in an attempt to seem efficient when it is merely a sign of life here in the lab. Smalls is currently online searching for deals on orange jump suits for her inevitable trip to Peaches and Cream Insane Asylum. Glynn Coco is hungover from....napping? No alcohol involved, just her severe addiction to bonding with her bed. Bianca is preparing for her trip to Japan. She will be jet skiing across the Pacific Ocean at the request of Google Maps. I am simply sitting back and enjoying the show. I'm sure there will be more after hours antics to come so don't go away!!

Sanely,
Pilot

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!
