I needed a new place to be : http://rocidew.posterous.com

hectic. busy. its all coming back to me...the school year has started. I'm not in my groove yet. I feel so out of place. I feel restless of school already and we have been in school for a week and a half.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my plans after college, becoming an architect has always been in the plans but lately I feel like I don't want to be that person stuck in a 9 to 5 job stuck in the office all day. I want to do so much more with my architecture studies. I have learned so much about culture and the world...I want to explore and change. I want to take a my camera and just travel. No matter what I do after college, that is my priority. travel, far and long.

constant change is still surrounding me. There is something about this year. Its that time in my life where everything is changing for the better...I hope. Especially with people, I have lost so much but gained a lot more. I hope it only gets better from here.

till next time, I hope to bring some new doodles to put up.

I say goodbye to family, beach, and everything I love about this island. A month flew by and its been amazing. so much to tell, so little time. Currently at the airport makes me think about how much I love Puerto Rico. it will always feel like home, even after not living there for seven years now. Nothing changes but everything feels different down there. A good kind of different. I'm really considering living there for a while in the near future...even if its for a year or so.

Going back to raleigh. not wanting to go back but willing for all the ones that I do want to see. School starting. its bitter sweet.

goodbye puerto rico...until next time.

yes the water is that blue.

And so heavenly warm. You could open your eyes and see the corals and fishies. Spent a day out in Palomino, small little island off the coast of PR, which is common for a lot of p-ricans to pass the day out in boats. Even more crazy was how people tend to rope boats together and basically do a huge boat to boat party. Thats exactly what happened. We were stuck in the midst of the mess of people which was a lot of fun at first but after a long day of swimming and some drinking it became an obnoxious amount of reggaeton to my ears.

boat party heeeeey

well thats mostly for now, I'm currently working with the aunt and uncle and learning my ways in architecture firm stuff. its actually pretty interesting but mind boggling the amount of detail I'm going to have to learn to retain. Time to geth back to staring at plans and sections with ridiculous amount of detail from walls down to screws and outlets.

peace, plantain and piraguas

hello friends,

puerto rico is filled with 80% humidity and lots of mosquitoes in july. other than 20 mosquito bites on my legs I'm greatly enjoying my time. I wish i had time to blog more but Internet is a lot more limited than I thought it would be so I would hopefully get back shortly and talk more about the beauty that is puerto rico and how much I really do miss this place and its people.

till then.

peace, sun and surf.

I need to get away. I want to fly away.

Looking forward to being away for a while. Especially back home (puerto rico) where I know is the one place that has not changed. I can go back to the old familiar smell of my grandma's house. Memories flood in.

Things are constantly and very quickly changing here. Especially my relationships with people. I hate change....especially quick change. I have learned to embrace it but its still all scary, and confusing.

All at the same time...exciting.

I just have decisions about my life to make. there is a lot I need to think about.

puerto rico is my escape. looking forward to it. 2 days.

design camp 2009. team one.

great experience, being a counselor for the first time and being able to share my architecture experience with many highschoolers.

I get easily tired of things sometime. Just like scanning my sketchbook. I was thinking about changing this back into more of a blog with pictures. I got a new digital camera Nikon D40, exciting stuff, and I'll be in Puerto Rico for a whole month starting on wednesday.

I want to try and concentrate on my travels and the constant changes in my life currently. Watch out for more pictures, observations, and travel excitements to come.

goodnight.
