Failed attempts

Well in my excrutiating battle to stand out i decided on taking my capstone designs a bit further. Instead of just putting it in Revit 2010, I am going to try to put in the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumming using Revit MEP. Today I tried to accomplish the first tutorial, but for some reason it wouldn't want to load correctly. After I finished reading the first tutorial I decided to expiriment in Revit MEP. So I uploaded a house design i created from last year and tried putting in some electrical fixtures and plumming. It was a matter of trial and error really, but when something didnt work i quickly made a note of it and tried again.
So far to this point i have my proposal in, researched a bit of some articles, i have also turned in my thesis statement which is the following:

My essay will be an compare/contrast essay
Traditional schools built from the past are creating a concern on their energy usage and on the learning/ teaching environment of students and faculty members. Newer schools not only provide a healthier environment, but they also create an effective learning/teaching environment too.

So far i have been reading alot of the tutorials but not actually doing them because they don't want to load correctly. To this point I still need alot to get finished....so to work i guess i go.
