new space: managed to clean up my "dining room" enough to transform it into a relatively organized workspace (see below). this wide open work-space inspired me to work on my thesis until now, 141 am, which is the most time that I have dedicated in quite a while.
new places: went up to Spartanburg, SC to visit the residency program, Hub-Bub. Must say, I've fallen in love. This program seems unreal, and I was blown away by everyone involved.
