Finals are over. school is over. Durring the last week of school I only had 2 classes left, yet, I had a meterials booklet due, 3 essays and 2 finals to take. That was probably my easiest week out of the whole semester oddly. And that was because there were no architectural aspects to what I had to do. I wrote a paper about architecture and did things with materials such as wood, steel, tension compression but that was no big deal.
This was a rough semester. I'm glad I survived but then again i'm sevirely wounded and i blame nothing but myself and my lacking of skill and concitration. It probably started with arc 101. I just got by. arc 102, I got by. Portfolio, got by. I never mastered any drafting skill. Everyone was where i was at. And now they are ahead. But everyone learned differently. Some take longer but they all end up in the same spot. I have nothing to worry about. We all end up with the same degree. Even if it takes me another 6 8 years. I shouldn't give up. No matter how hard I tried with many sleepless nights and trying hard every day. I ended up with a D in design communications, a D in studio a C in materials and structures and a C/B? in History. I realized it was my lack of skill in drafting. So Im gonna get better.
I spent crying the WHOLE day yesterday. Why? because I don't want to be kicked out of school, and I still want to be in architecture school. Although I did bad, I still enjoy what I do. I ended with a 3.1 my freshman semester and ended with a 2.5 for fall sophmore year. Not good.
But heres the deal. I'm not gone yet, I still have time to make it up to myself. I'm taking a semester off of architecture and going back to Geneds. And when I'm ready i'll go back. Over the summer I will be taking Auto Cad, Drafting, Art, and welding. ?? I will do well. I'm going to get straight A's next semeter. And after archiecture. not sleeping. Project after project paper after paper labor ... you get the hint.. Gen eds should be a easy. They aren't easy but with lots of detication it is easy.
I love my friends, my family, my boyfriend. Without your support and company I wouldn't even know what to do with myself. I'd probably still be curled up in a little ball in my bed still crying.
