I am studying for the final in my 1st design class at UC Davis, and thinking about what I will take with me from this quarter. This blog is one thing that will continue to be a part of my life. It is like a diary of learning and I can refer back to and see what I have thought about and been interested in the past, but also it is just a really fun way to practice thinking and writing analytically. Way better to write 900-1500 words a week in an interesting variety of topics, than to have written a 6300-10500 word essay to hand in at the end of class. That essay would have been one I would have been happy to be done with and never think about again. This blog, well, I love to think about what I can add, and to read what I have done.
Professor Housefield was my 1st experience of UC Davis teachers. Having gone to Junior college since 1999, I really did not know what to expect. A more stiff teacher? A more rigorous, uninteresting program? NOT AT ALL. Housefiled was as entertaining as any reality show on TV (and I would totally watch one that followed him in his design and art filled life). I am hoping to link to a song that a fellow classmate mixed of his rap about Johannes Itten. He danced on the tables, tried to breakdance on the floor, and ran around in his socks. He made design an experience. I have a picture of my son with sky blue socks on and it makes me think of Professor Housefield's pretty socks. I will post it later. Thank you Housefield. Enjoy your kids and your vacation, and have fun writing your book. I look forward to taking more classes with you in the future.

Listen to the funk!
