today marks the end of my third month at the d.school, and it’s been quite a wild ride. at times it feels like i’m living in a new country and learning a new language (and then having to teach that language to everyone who comes through here — students and executives alike!), so these are a few phrases that i hear alllllll the time around here.

go ahead, say radical collaboration five times, fast. ready….go.

1. literature review about the use of prototyping as a communication tool
2. literature review about cross-disciplinary innovation
3. portfolio of work for my advisor
4. first drafts of my research proposal and previous research essay
5. second draft of my personal statement
6. solicit third letter of recommendation
7. laundry

sounds like fun! yay!! seriously though, i will be glad when this is all over…
