I am at work
I want to get a job related to architecture, I like this job but I would rather be doing something new.
Architecture school is so great, I feel like I am doing something meaningful and worthwhile in studio, and it's the first time at school I've felt like I'm learning to become a professional. Even though this is just the beginning I am building up the feeling that every choice I make is important, and that every project is a big deal and I should try my absolute best. This is awesome.
I wish the people in my class were more interesting. Speaking of which I wish I were more interesting myself--the question being Do I/Should I make myself more interesting to others; Sub-question Do I now care what other people think about me?
I am pretty quiet in studio and I guess I am going for the silent/serious but talented and driven dude. Because these are mostly freshman stuck in high school mode, I can't help but feel the popularity vibe in the group. There are definitely the more popular among us...I am not one of them because I haven't put any effort into it because I don't feel it's neccescary. Perhaps because I already have friends, or that I don't like anyone in it all that much, but I cant help but feel I may be maturing to the point where I genuinely don't need peer's approval in anything but my design work.
I must think of some strategies to break down this popularity circle. I suppose the best way to do so would be to focus the energy of the group more towards creating good design. This is probably inevitable anyway but I will take the credit for it. I just like trying to control groups of people, I also like scheming.
I need to read more PG Wodehouse, you know, Jeeves and Wooster. I really like it when Jeeves comes up with schemes to trick people into doing things that are beneficial to them and everyone else. Jeeves is my idol. For anyone who hasn't heard of him, PG Wodehouse is the only writer who rivals Douglas Adams in comic genious.
If anyone has any problems that I can solve for them in a jeeves-like manner, please contact me. Things like troublesome in-laws, matchmaking, or old friends come to visit that you just would rather not seeing because of the awkward position you were put in at the 2003 christmas party.
