Holy shit, I am the worst LJer ever. Here we are again at the end of the semester, and when's the last time I wrote? 15 weeks ago, according to LJ portal. Well. I'm working on the final presentation board for my last architecture project, it's going to take effort to get over my self-congratulatory mood at being done with my model and drawings way ( Read more... )
