BIG things.

BIG things are happening.

This week we were so fortunate to host the CIDA Accreditation Team. They are the ones that decide if our program is worthy of the degree. This accreditation process happens once every five years and we were lucky enough to be the eldest class which also means we were under the highest level of review. Our professors and faculty have been preparing for this week for, well, about five years. It's a big deal. Ranked seventh in the nation, we weren't too worried, but it is still very important [stressful.]

Now that they have finished their visit, we can relax for about five minutes, and then begin preparing for our mid-semester critiques in studio, and also preparing our resumes and portfolios for our college's Mock Interview Day, both of which will be taking place on Monday. Joy. Wish us luck and productivity!

Unrelated, but this is one of the many places I would rather be this week.
