exploration station

definitely getting fed up with my project group right now. we have an assignment due on friday. we have to design a pair of shoes, and a bag to go with it. pretty cool, except we have four people in the group that all have different ideas. one guy doesn't care one bit about the project. he just sits there and does whatever he wants that's not related to our design. i feel like the mommy of a really diverse group of childen. one romanian, and two germans. haha. whaaatever. i don't really care much about the project. im in vienna. screw it.

so i like to leave the group for hours and hours at a time and just disappear into the city. there's so many areas to explore. yesterday sarah and i met our ucla instructor at a cafe and bought expensive coffee drinks that he paid for. then checked out this dope building that made me think i was in spain. they also had a sweet cafe there that had sandwiches that definitely resembled a pizza bread from pizza factory in shasta lake. of course, pizza breads of the factory are the bomb and can't be beat. (that's just for your information, in case you didn't know already...which you should know, if you are from redding.)

today the german guy was criticizing some part of the design i did and instead of punching him directly in the face i took off for 2 hours. just went to the subway and rode to a new stop in the city i hadnt been to. it was such a dope area. i think it was the 9th district. found a cool cafe/bar, had a beer and kicked it there for a while. the neighborhood feeling there was the best i've seen so far in vienna. i'm thinking more and more i could live in vienna for a while. maybe after school's out? hmmm. i don't know though. i mean, i like the cold weather right now, wearing like 10 layers and 4 scarves and 9 beanies with a hat on top of them. but i think i'll get sick of it soon. i'm the type of person that belongs in a place like LA, or austrialia, or SLO. or madagascar. i don't know. that seems like its more me. hmmmmmmm australia. wow i'm already thinking about my next trip. i need to stop doing that. im gonna go broke. (actually i am broke...living off loans). i already have other trips in my mind....like tokyo for our research studio next spring, and a roadtrip across america with my closest friends next summer, and thoughts about spending time in africa to design/build homes and schools. im ridiculous sometimes.

wellllll i have to design a woman's purse right now. haha. wierd. its gonna be such a cool purse that even men will a strong yearning to wear it. that's right, i used the word "yearning". i don't know if i've ever typed that word before. i had to think about how to spell it for a second.
