Two-and-a-half down...

The history review is OVER! Less than 24 hours until the exam and then I'll be almost free! FREEEEEE! *maniacal laughter*

So right now I'm sitting at a restaurant on University Blvd. while I eat lunch/early-early dinner and write my history exam essays. I will stay here until they kick me out! Heh-heh-heh... Or until it's about to get dark. One of the two.

Ooof, belly... SO... FULL! SO FULL! It is going to pop! Now I shall sit and relax? Maybe... :o) NO! There's history to do! *judo-chop!*

Holy Architectural History, Batman!

So my architecture history website is out of the way. No, I'm not showing it to you! Go away!

Okay-okay, don't go away... but you're not gonna see the site. :o) And... I don't feel like doing any other homework until tomorrow (which I won't feel like working on then either). All I wanna do is go hang out with my boy or friends and have fun!

Speaking of which, I just called the boy and he said that one of his friends is on his way up to visit, not for the whole weekend, but still, to visit. I am slightly jealous, I must say. I have become accustomed to seeing my boy every weekend. *huff* Oh well, this is my last week of school/homework for three months, so I can deal with one weekend of non-boy in order to take care of this crap. It's just gotta be done.

In other news, bye. :o)

Ghhhhhhhh.

My brain is a big ball of moosh right now. I had my final studio review yesterday and I only slept one hour the morning of... and four hours the morning before... and I'm not quite sure how many the night before that - if any at all... see what I'm getting at here? The last two weeks have been grueling and here's why!

• Severe lack of sleep (I'm talkin' anywhere from 0 - 4 hours per night)
• Eating only 1/4 of meals because your stomach ends up kicking you if you try to feed it
• Waking up from what little sleep you just got and immediately thinking about your project
• Not being able to fall asleep, even though you only have 1 hour to sleep, because you keep thinking about your project
• Three other classes to manage at the same time - which all have projects of their own and finals approaching
• Life to manage at the same time

Yar! It's just been one blur of time for the last two weeks. At least I think it was two weeks - it might have been three. See?! I don't even remember!

It always amazes me...

The way I come up with designs always amazes me. Each design provocation is different from the last:

• inspiration listening music
• saying ideas out loud
• doodling aimlessly with frustration for hours
• thinking in the shower
• driving my car

...and the list goes on - I doubt I could list them all. The point is that Friday morning at 6 a.m. I had an epiphany of a design idea and now, at 3:30 a.m., I have just had another break through. Gravy-hoo-yah for me! :oD Couple that with the fact that my design crit liked the start of my idea (shown in model form in class on Friday) and that should allow you to realize that I have been in pretty good spirits the last couple days. Oh, and also because Cute Boy is here! :oD

So now all I have to do to meet Monday's deadline is:

• build a more advanced model of my idea (which means I may need to go to the store... without having a car, this is pretty difficult, lol)
• draw two critical spatial sections - one for the horizontal axis and one for the vertical axis of my site

YARRR!

Stress + hard work = worthwhile.

1300+

• Programming class = attended.
• Studio models = built ('cept for 1, but that's okay).
• Plaster model of collar bone = cast.
• Plaster model of tendon and veins in hand = cast.
• Plaster model of hand overall = cast.
• Getting the stink-eye (as a group) from the studio crit = fear.
• Being forced to build a model in 90 minutes with logic, craft, and completeness = difficult.
• Talking to the crit after class about my work = bonding.
• Dinner = eaten.
• Walking home after school = cold and windy.
• Cute Boy not being online = waiting.
• Sleep = to be had.

I'm back, baby!

1700+
