killing time

Oct 12, 2010 21:20

So what's new. I've been back in Studio. This year I only have 11 hours (3 classes, one is only Thursday nights) It's been a pretty laid back semester so far. I haven't had to pull any all-nighters. I was up until 5am this Sunday when our second project was due. It was a pretty fun project; developing a low-income neighborhood in Mexico in a really cute historic town. I've been learning a lot from this professor he is pretty good at letting us learn through mistakes and not giving us all the answers. He's actually from Nuevo Laredo where my parents are from, and he has a lot of connections. I need to work it. Next year he's having work on a real project in a city near Dallas and is also in charge of the new Abroad summer program that will either be in Buenos Aires, San Juan Puerto Rico, or San Miguel De Allende in Mexico (the one we based our site on this last project) It sounds really exciting.
So this summer I went to the Gaga concert which was very fun and exciting. After that we flew out to NYC to which I wish to go back, mostly because I hardly got to do any of what was on my list. My first trip to NYC is tainted here and there by some ridiculous things :/ and especially how the following drama with one of those friends began there. So, I need to go back on my own and explore it a lot more.
If you understand how Nene feels about Dwight thats how I feel about Mauro. I've had my space from him and recently saw him at the outing. It was ridiculous what happened and seeing him again, well it's kinda hard to go back to the way it was.
This last project that we did in studio was a group project and I worked with my close people (Jason, Leticia, and Vanessa) that have been here with me since Summer 08 studio. I learned how to be more assertive and speak my ideas cause at the beginning I was letting too much go through. It coincides with me learning how to be more assertive in general, which seems to be the theme for me this year. I have a bit more to go and learn how to balance being being heard without coming off too strong (think im miles from coming on too strong)
