http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:47:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Wow, I've already done so much and met so many new people this school year! That is probably why I am so tired. Luckily, a week of vacation has come to rescue me in my time of my need. I'm currently at the airport, about to fly home to So-Cal. I'm ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/11/21/taking-a-breather/ It's already Week 8, and I'm really surprised because I'm actually not stressed out. Not one bit. I think it's because I put a lot of effort into balancing my energy between work and recreation. I have been trying to stay ahead on my school work by doing little chunks ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/11/16/check-it-out-awesome-week/ I spent this last week working on a really interesting assignment for my class Studio Projects: Land and Sky. We were challenged to make multiple plaster casts of an object and then install it into a landscape to evoke an interesting relationship between the two. I've always been interested in ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/11/06/installed/ It's the end of week 3, and autumn has already wiped its feet at the door and invited itself in to stay a while. I find myself watching great misty clouds shift around in the sky and conceal mountains; and everywhere I look the leaves losing their chlorophyll stipple yellow ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/10/18/a-time-for-being-busy-and-a-time-for-relaxing/ On Thursday, I safely returned home from a class field trip to Sun Lakes State Park in Eastern Washington. We left on Monday morning headed for this desert landscape we would be inhabiting for four days: a geological curiosity formed by repeated catastrophic floods during the end of the last ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/10/10/field-trip-to-sun-lakes/ First day back and only a slight case of the first day jitters... Seriously though, this was quite a day, jam packed with adventure. My friends picked me up for school, and we got there early, and ended up running into one of the faculty we all had freshman year. He ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/09/29/first-day-of-schooooool/ Hello to all of you  out there! I've been away form writing for the school blog all summer, but now that vacation is almost over and school is soon to begin, I figured it was about time to get back into the swing of things. I'm beginning my junior year here at ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/09/27/the-end-is-only-the-beginning/ So it’s finally ending! My second year here at Evergreen is coming to a close. I will have my final evaluation conference with my faculty tomorrow, and then summer break and adventures and fun! I guess saying it like that paints the wrong picture though; going to school here is full ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/06/09/end-of-sophomore-year/ Plain and simple, I had a wonderful week. My team and I finally put up the frame of the wood drying shed we've been designing and building all year (I'll be sure to posts pictures and videos soon), I went swimming with all my best friends on a hot day ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/05/26/a-little-behind-shed-ule/ It is 4:25 in the morning. I am sitting at a table at Sizizis, the new 24 hour coffee and tea shop in downtown Olympia. The coffee I drank several hours ago to keep me awake is losing its effect. I come here for the atmosphere, the delicious beverages, and ... http://blogs.evergreen.edu/hoscam18/2009/05/18/night-owl/
