Whew! What a relief!

      I legitimately can't believe that I am done with my project! And its not even midnight the night before or three a.m. the morning of-- and I'm not wallowing in a puddle of my hopeless, desperate tears of failure and self-loathing like I would normally be doing in a similar life-altering-project-due-tomorrow kind of situation.
      So-- To prove that I'm telling the truth, and frankly just because of my pure exultation at being done, here are some pictures!

Here it is still in progress:

(Some assembly required. Batteries not included... and all that jazz.)

Front and back: 

      I'll be honest and admit I'm not the hugest fan of how it looks from the top. I think I'd like to add a cardboard "cushion" or something to slightly cover up the grid pattern. It isn't very chair-y, if you get me. 

       I then went on to attempt to show via picture that the chair was indeed successful in its required function to support human weight. This, as you may imagine, went very badly. I pray that there are no cameras in the classrooms of the Art&Design Building, because I am frankly embarrassed at how difficult I find it to take a picture of myself!
      This was the best I could do:

      I would like to conclude by mentioning that without my mother's help, I WOULD currently be lying on the floor, washed away by a river of my own tears due largely to procrastination. So, thank you mom for forcing me to be more productive this weekend then I was motivated to be and putting an end to my attempt at skivving off. It also helps massively that you happen to have a degree in industrial design. So thanks for that, too. I also owe some credit to the extra cardboard I found stored away in the basement. I couldn't have done it without you, cardboard! You industrial scissors- on the other hand- I have some things I'd like to say to you! But, seeing as how you could care less, being an inanimate object and all, I will sit her and nurse my hand-bruises in silence. So, aside from the few small wounds I acquired (my chair may or may not have a spot of my own blood-- sodding X-acto blade!) and the parking ticket (damn you KU parking!), it was altogether not a bad night!
