CDF Wrap-Up

Even though there is still one day left of class, this is probably going to be my last entry for summer session. I'm leaving tomorrow after class for a week at the beach. Fall starts up again with Design Orientation two weeks from today, August 21st.

Today is all about wrapping up the USPS project and finishing our process books so we can turn them in tomorrow.

Looking back over the six weeks, I feel like we covered a lot of ground. It certainly wasn't a deep exploration of any of the six topics, but it was broad enough to give a little background in the subjects. Personally, I really enjoyed the Expressive Typography, Photography, and 3D modeling weeks, but no week was a waste of time. Was it really necessary for me to take this prior to fall semester? Probably not, but it was nice to ease back into school gently, getting used to the rhythm of classes and homework again after being away from it for so long. Plus, you do get to meet the second-year students and professors that are around, which has been pretty invaluable as far as advice and inside info about how CMU works.

All in all, it's been a fun summer. I'm really excited about starting my fall slate of classes, and hope these entries have given you a sense of what my student life has been like this summer.

See you in two weeks!
