As the second week of school begins, let's take a minute to look back and assess the first week and breathe a sigh of relief that it's over and we emerged unscathed, for the most part.
I should begin by saying that this is my first year at UNCG and in the IARC department. I am a first year graduate student focusing on Historic Preservation. I graduated in May from the
While that's all fine and dandy, I could not be happier that the first week is over. My apparent 'Crash Course in Drafting' was hectic and frustrating, because I have never taken a drawing class until I came to UNCG. Now I don’t want to seem like I am complaining. While there may have been excessive nail biting, pacing, and living in a haze of confusion, there were plenty of good things that came out of last week. I have made friends with my very tiny drafting desk and we are now on good terms. I completed two of my first drafting projects, and survived a group project with 60 people. I’m feeling more comfortable drawing, and best of all, I have met some really nice people.
The ‘Crash Course’ also helped me to realize several things: that it’s going to be really hard work, but that it will definitely be worth it. I have realized that there is never a time to be too proud to ask for help, everyone is a resource; everyone is in the same situation in one way, shape or form. And the best realization: its going to be a great year. There’s a lot to learn, but the payoff will be great. Good luck to all, looking forward to working with you!
