making an effort....

so I've obviously been pretty lax about keeping up on this thing, (Jane its possible you are the only one following). But I'm going to do a bit better of keeping up on this thing. I think if I at least set out my goals for the month/week etc etc it might spur me to keep to them a bit more and make me a bit more pleasant to be around when I see that I actually do get some things done that I think about.

So I've been mulling my chair design around in my head for some time, but I'm making a more direct goal of getting something made. I'll need to document my idea before I bring it to the few plywood manufactures I've found but perhaps that can be my goal this week - to get it sketched out and mail something to myself as initial documentation.

I'm also studying for the ARE's now, which is extraordinarily hard. I'm in the midst of the structures test books and well.. its not going very quickly. i need to get my ass in gear and set a date that I will take it. It will force me to study and really get me in the swing. I think once I have the tests behind me I can focus on some of the other things that I've had on my mind.. reviwing my thesis book... getting something printed for myself and my school etc etc.... but lets start small...
