Yeah, so, I had my second design review yesterday...
It wasn't bad...
From Friday until yesterday afternoon, I was doing my work for the project as well as working at Target. In the beginning, I was having panic attacks because I thought I wasn't going to accomplish much. When I say panic attacks I mean I was a drama queen on fire, seriously. I got all pale and I could rest for the 2-3 hours that I had to spare because I was so worried about this project. So, um, what my project was... A ticket kiosk for the Eames house in Palisades, CA. Eames house= glass blocks so there wasn't much that really inspired me for the design but I came up with something. It was this romboid shape building with a descening elevation from 15'- 9" high to 9'-3" a glazed wall facing the Eames house. It was swell. Or at least I thought so. Anyhoo, I worked on this project and I did something that wasn't half bad. Designing really isn't as hard for me as Physics and Math. It's just that I seem to always whine about things when things get hard. So, I suppose, I can be a Frodo, but then I should listen to the Sam in my head that tells me to keep going. I just have to work on Physics and C++ more. And, hopefully, I'll graduate in May and go to NJIT in August. This is grand, I'll do well. I want to and I will. I just don't know if I can pull all nighters 5 days in a row like the arch majors over there. I've never tried. Of course, I certainly can't be expected to have a glow to my face when I miss my beauty sleep, but I think that's the kind of work that appeals to me. It really is. I suppose pressure does work better for me. Then, maybe I'll find someone. Yes, I'm still whining about my lack of a love life, but, arrrrg, I wouldn't mind one.
Target is getting less appealing to me all the time. I mean, it's not really hard work, but it's somewhat boring and I don't want to have the threat of being fired if I call out of work. I mean, I know there are stict policies in any company but, you know, stuff happens, and I do have to call out cause of non-Target related issues, as was last week when I called out because I had to work on my project and I really needed the time. I miss working at the school. At least my supervisor understood that I needed time off and everything was all well and good because I always made up the work. I just don't like working there anymore. Well, work is work I suppose.
Yeah, so i'm sticking with Architecture for now. I want to do this. I want to make something of my brain seeing as how it does have potential. So, I'll DO IT! How, I'm not sure. The only reason that I got stuff done for this project was because I was helped by others. I'll try to scrounge up something for later. I'd love to study in Europe, though, if not at least live there. Or maybe go to Ecuador and study there. I mean, it's a beautiful country and my family is there but, um...money! Don't have it for a while.
I miss my family, a lot. I want to see my cousins and my Aunt and my uncle Bilbo. I miss them.
I miss my Kansas friend, Kelly. I hope she's all right. She should be, but, I'd like to hear it from her.
Ok, so
