Words can not describe the feeling of having this printed and bound.

Thursday we find out if we won or not.

Today’s been a little less than stellar.

Our BofA team did NOT do well in our mock interview, part of which was my fault as I didn’t prepare for it at all. We’re scrambling now to make up some lost review. And to think that that would finally be over.

This weekend has been a drunken slurry and I think I’m paying for it today. It’s easy to live off the shameless and inconsequential actions of the now, but damn can it bite you in the ass. That’s nothing new however. Eventually the pendulum will swing back again and I’ll wonder why I’m not enjoying myself enough; not trying to grab all the experience I can while I’m still here.

Old habits die hard, they say.

Both were damn good.

Cookie Klondike Bar Sandwich.

Take off the chocolate covering of a klondike bar and bake it into your chocolate chip cookies, and then use the pre-cut ice cream square to make an ice cream sandwich of sorts!

A little celebratory beer for the submission of our BofA document.

By far one of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Spectrum by reGEN Housing Initiative.

Our project and team for the BofA Housing Challenge.

Finally finished with the housing competition!

Thu, 16 May 2013 12:38:39 -0700

I’ve been awake for 30 hours, and I’ve had about 9 hours of sleep in the past 3 days.

But I feel incredible.

Our submission to the Bank of America Low Income Housing Challenge is submitted, and we can finally rest easy again.

Well, after next Thursday we can, when they’ll announce the winners.

I can’t believe we pulled this off. From almost failing pro formas to unfeasible set backs and unreachable parking requirements, we have created a development that sound economically AND socially.

Going places I shouldn’t when I should be asleep.

Literally spent all night working on our BofA project, something I can finally post here!

I’m incredibly proud of my team, everything really fell into place with our document and our development.

Fuck 4 hours of sleep.

Yet, I’m almost excited to stay up again tonight. I might even want to watch the sunrise, if it’s in the cards. I want to push myself, see how far I can go before exhaustion sets in.

Welp, I just spent 8 hours working on a pro forma for our BofA low income housing challenge project.

Good news: We’re feasible!

That fact doesn’t do much against the hurt to be felt at waking up in 4 hours to go to class.

It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.
