Hello world. I feel like I am perpetually glued to my studio chair. We've been in here every night until 3 or 4 (some of us even longer) and CANNOT wait to turn this project in on Wednesday! I present this project on Tuesday, May 2nd. I'm nervous but excited. So close to the end!

Anyway, I will show you what I've been working on the past couple of days. I don't want to share too much - I'll save it all for the end :)

 This is an image of one of the group therapy rooms where families can go in together and discuss lesson plans, the child's well being, etc. As you can see, I am using the art that that children have created throughout my entire space as decoration.

This is the occupational therapy room. I'm still working on this one because the lighting turned out very strange (polka dots on my ceiling.... eek!) You can see the different types of strength-building tools that are in the space.

This room is the physical therapy room. Child-sized physical equipment for those who choose to partake in any physical equipment. Special appointments have to be set up so they have the on-call physical therapist come and work with them.

This is the art therapy wing. Quite possibly my absolute favorite room in the building. You can't see from this view, but I have a custom-made ceiling fixture that looks like a artist's paint palette. That back wall is a dry-erase board where the kids can express more creativity. This is where they make their artwork that the EduCare mass produces and sells to raise money for the facility! Aren't the colors great?

 This is a narrow view of the play room. You can see the puzzle pieces: the taller ones are fabric-covered seats and the shorter ones are tables. The ceiling elements match the puzzle piece furniture components. In the back, you can see the jungle gym that is hovering over a ball pit. Used the same colorful paints and materials so the children can take a mental break from being tutored as they wait for their parents, etc.

 This is another view of the play room. I need to adjust the lighting because it seems a little dark. I also should add more people in there to make it seem more lively. I have those cubbies for the kids to store their stuff and have other toys in those boxes. That's a part of the jungle gym on the right side.

I hope these look good to anyone reading this! I'm still adjusting every single one and these aren't all of my perspectives. I have a few more I still need to render. My poor, poor computer is slowing down so much and has shut off without warning (I lost a lot of work the couple of times that happened). It's so heartbreaking. Unfortunately my laptop is my best friend/boyfriend/parent. My eyeballs are glued to the screen 24/7. At least today I got to take a mental break and walk around campus in the beautiful weather.

I have to enjoy these lovely days at LSU while I'm still here. I'm about to graduate from this place and it makes me so sad that I won't be a student any longer! Maybe I'll switch my major with the few weeks I have left so I can be here longer......... Nah, I'm so ready to be done with school.
