Sleep Keeping?




I am taking a little break from this Humanities assignment to let everyone know that tonight is my night to sleep in the sleeper keeper. Its pretty warm in here; the thermometer here says its about 62 degrees or so. Hopefully it doesn't rain tonight. My computer is in here, and while our structure hasn't leaked yet, it would be just my luck...
We built our Keeper a few days ago. Overall, I am pleased with how it turned out, but mostly, I am glad it's over. I didn't enjoy this project as much as I had anticipated,probably because I've been so swamped with work in general that I haven't had time to enjoy much of anything. If i had to pick the thing I am most proud of with this project, it is the fact that the SKWAD was able to litterally find (legally, thank you), nearly all of our matierials, from aluminum siding, to wood to glass. Also, I am proud of the water collection system, especially since it was conceptualized and completed (succesfully, I might add) in so short a period of time.

I only wish that our groupwork went more like it was supposed to. From the begining we had committees and everything, but it still turned out to be some sort of scramble just go get as much done as possible--as fast as possible--with not enough organization and a severe lack of commitment/communication withing the group.

But, yes...it's over with now...the actual building anyway. Now we have the writen portion to do. Should be a blast! :-)



****UPDATE: IT DID RAIN LAST NIGHT! And I am completely dry! (and so is my laptop)
