ArchiTOTURE Life

Yeah got this from the " I don't need sex, the school of architecture fucks me all the time" group in facebook..
Damn it I don't hate it when people ask me to go and sleep while there are a lot more to do but I do hate it when people are asking " Why do you always do your things during last minute, can't you do it earlier?!!!"
OH GOSH!!! Do you think that I do not want to finish it earlier? I wanted to finish it ASAP but I just can't ....
If you are architecture students you've probably experienced:

- the taste of wood glue-changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc

- you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends ( not really 20 hours but definately longer than the normal days )

- you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?" ( kinda ok with it, not a big deal)

- you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks

- no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this? or “why don’t you change this here? or “I think that…but…yeah, its ok? ( WTF !!! when can I stop listening to all that?!!!)

- you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week-you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes ( Yeah !! been in the same family with the PANDAS )

-whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework? ( it just keep on reminding me on the work, DAMN !!! )

-you’ll dance YMCA with a choreography without a drop of alcohol in your system ( yeah going to be insane soon )

-you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink

-you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your work ( it's normal )

-you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people

-your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project ( worst worst nightmare !!! )

-someone once called you “lazy? and you wanted them murdered ( get them murdered in the most shortest time possible !!! )

-you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!! ( I'm going NUTS when it happens )

-when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it ( haha ... true espeacially the 'A' 'B' 'C' eraser ... just don't understand how they can use things like that ... it's just not meant for human )

-you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model and your huge computer

-you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost-you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse ( cutting scars )

-everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?"

-you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc

-you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized

-when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s bathroom? “who designed this menu? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc] ( yeah had gone insane, mad, nuts )

-you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one-you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is

Ah, so totally know how that feels. When I'm online rushing work, people think I do my work late, procrastinate, then rush at the end when I never!

And that design partis so true. So very true. xP
