They're pushing you because they KNOW that you can do it. Sometimes we feel like we're about to break but you seem to be a smart and intellegent woman. You'll get it done and you'll pass with flying colors.

Thanks! I just wish I could believe it myself. If only days had 50 hours in them... I just finished typing out an interview and I have to write up a project report, a draft report, and do an assignment for another class. I've been looking online for 3hours for a 3-storey building design and I've found NOTHING.
I'm a little bitter that my classmate got off so easily with her project because she's 4 months pregnant.

Don't doubt yourself, they know you can do it, and we know you can do it, just set your mind to it, you are almost there You go girl

If it's supposed to be an art center, why don't you make it a little artsy and incorporate an inverse stair step, cantalever design for either the exterior or use it on the interior. The Hyatt Regency Downtown San Francisco is has a right angle triangular footprint. They used the stair step, cantalever design for the interior of the longest wall. The lobby is open all the way to the top floor. It's a very interesting design. This should be structurally challenging and very do-able. Your adviser might go for that.

Just a thought. I've been out of pure engineering too long to help with calculations, but thought I'd throw this idea out there for you to think about.

Wishing you the very best. You do seem like a very together person. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!! We're rooting for you!!!!!!

Thanks for the idea! I'll try to draw up some plans by the end of the week or on the weekend and try to meet with my advisor next week. I should be okay with the calculations, except I'm pretty new to weld calculations. So it's a good thing I'm dating an engineer who works for a big welding company, who is nice enough to offer to help me out

As you can see, we're all pulling for you and have the upmost confidence you'll pass this with flying colors. Keep it up!!!!

Lindsey, you are obviously a very intelligent woman. Like someone said, they are only pushing you because they KNOW you can do it! Just think, this is your time to shine!!!!!!! You are almost done. Work hard these next few months and blow everyone else out of the water with your project! You can do it!
