Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try! – Dr Suess

It is moments like this where I have to step back and take a deep breath and say “it will all work out”. We are headed toward success in my mind. It has been a month since my last posting and I am kind of laughing at myself for how simple it was then. This has been an amazing experience I would never want to trade in. After 6 weeks this is a family I just don’t want to say no to.  I had the fun job of picking out paint colors with Ruby and the kids. Polyhouse magic is already shining bright. I went into the paint shop to look through the color options and thankfully found everything I could ever ask for and a little bit more.

It has been ups and downs last week and first days of this week but somehow solutions are coming our way. The perfect example is our tiling situation. We thought we were left high and dry because of our budgetary constraints but a little tile fairy came down and bestowed upon us a large amount of tiles from the previous Polyhouse. (I hope they work!)

It never ceases to amaze me the work that 28 students can do in 6 weeks. I didn’t know anyone going into this but now I know I am surrounded by some incredible, hardworking, and dedicated students.  I will start my final countdown now (cue the song) 4 days until it all officially begins, 13 until we reveal, and a project memories that will last a lot longer.
