Dear Research Diary,

Sorry I've neglected you, but finals were way too intense. My portfolio is complete and turned in, and now I just have one more final! ART THEORY with Prof. Dohna!!!!!! It will be tough!

Dear Research Diary,

The presentation went well I think. Now I have a basis for my research project. The next days will be spent assembling my foundation portfolio!!! In between studying for finalsssssssssssss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Research Diary,

I've finished my presentation, as well as a paper for Prof. Dohna so I am rather exhausted and it's rather late so I hope I won't be too tired in the morning!! I absolutely despise giving presentations... I'm glad everyone in our class is a close friend (but I hope my presentation won't be too informal as a result of this). I'm excited to see what everyone else has prepared...

Dear Research Diary,

Today was the last day of class!!!!!!! More work on my presentation... it's coming together well. some questions and uncertainties though...

Dear Research Diary,

Today there was no class so I did some work on my presentation. I gathered a list of artists I liked and thought were pertinent and did whatever research I could on them. It's looking promising, but I'm gathering a lot of questions to which I have no answers.... What the heck is the Ukrainian avant-garde anyway? The Russians had a monopoly on everything..

Dear Research Diary,

Today we had our cupcake party! It was nice! Our cupcakes did not come out PERFECT, but pretty good I think. Now it's time to REALLY get serious about my presentation!!

Dear Research Diary,

Today was the last day of Monday/Wednesday classes! The semester went by so fast. Tonight Angels and I will bake cupcakes for our party in research practicum tomorrow! Haha I've never made cupcakes before........cooking well does not always translate to baking well. we shall see !
