Course Reflections: Stephanie

This class has not only brought out my creative side, but has also taught me about the history of my neighborhood.  I have lived in the DC area practically my entire life, and I was never taught about the important history of the 14th Street corridor.  It has been great to have guest lecturers come and talk, as well as, going out into the street ourself and interview locals from that area.  I did not realize the rich history that existed in this city - so much of what you learn about this city has to do with politics and the founding fathers.

We are now in our second week of building our window designs, and I have to say this is the most exciting part.  I can't wait to see how all our ideas, and all our pieces come together.  I never thought I would be going to home depot to ask where the cinder blocks are (a piece of our design).  It has been great to work with my team, and get together and start to experiment with what we have and go from there.  I really hope you all come to our party to celebrate these great designs.  I know I am looking forward to seeing what the other teams have come up with!
