Shauna & Sander

Invitation

It is official. I am graduating, and you are invited, provided that come to Delft!

I am still scrambling to finish and print my report, make a poster and presentation. Maar komt allemaal goed..

Halloween/graduation party details to come...

Grolsch chandelier

update, a better photo I took..

For Jorn, Fedde, and Michel's housewarming my roomates, Inga, and I made a chandelier out of Grolsch bottles and Christmas lights. Here is a crappy picture I made with my camera phone. I hope I can take a better picture later. The result looks something like an upside down Christmas tree.

Pre-emptive thoughts

I am in the last stretch of my project. Just three more weeks and I will be graduating on Halloween. Now I am sitting in my office working on video analysis, procrastinating and dreaming of when it's all over. I made a list of things I have to do/after graduation resolution:

1. Bike to Brussels
2. Get off my fat butt and exercise/find a new sport to play
3. Get a job, go to job fairs
4. Finish my unfinished projects (that painting in the corner, make Maya model of my yo-yo design)
5. Practice cello in time for Jamaica
6. Write letters to those people with whom I have lost communication
7. Fix my portfolio and website
8. Participate in some design contests
9. Keep working on my project
10. Finish that PSS course
11. Figure out how to train my bonsai

*I can't remember the original item which inspired this list, so I will add it later.

A Comment

One of the best things about the Netherlands is that people drink tea all the time. I remember that one of my first assignments upon my arrival at the TU Delft was to design a high tea set for offshore workers. Though the whole point of the exercise was oxymoronic, the idea that offshore workers would drink tea was totally baffling. So instead I designed a high coffee set. Now that I've lived here for two years though the idea of oil rig workers drinking tea is becoming more and more plausible. As I am writing this I am sitting in my office downing one cup after another between bathroom breaks. It works better than coffee because I don't get the jitters no matter how much I drink.
