Oh
My
GOD!!!! @.@
So, tomorrow I am going to have to present in front of a room full of clients, funders for the project, electricians, other architects, plumbers, you name it...to sell the work me and 6 others have been working on to restore and repurpose an old building we have on campus.
I have been the one doing the historical research on this place.
I have looked through Atlas', Sanborn Maps, yearbooks, deeds, photograph collections, etc etc finding all I can between working and schooling about a building that has hardly any documentation on it, for the past 200+ years. I have deeds going back to 1799. All this cause our building is supposedly the oldest mill in the city, and the last remaining building on campus from before 1917. Thing is...I found out it ISN'T. So my research has completely turned everything else on its head..and I have to start the meeting tomorrow...telling people who all their lives thought this was a 200+ yr building, it isn't!!
As you can imagine...I am very nervous, but very excited about telling everyone what I found.
After this, I am done with school..Spring Break next week. I will still be working, so it won't be complete "free time" but after class tomorrow, I'm going to try to make my vacay as stress free and awesome as possible.
