I have a fetish with charcoal

Nothing too exciting to report. Im still liking uni.

Ive got a crazy Russian woman architect teacher for Archi sketching class. She made us all go outside in our first lesson to swing our arms around in circles and stand in a line to breathe with our 80% water-composition bodies. She's awesome.

Why is it that you never get the opportunity to talk to the people you really want to get to know while everyone else seem to just come at you. Why does it have to be so difficult?

I get my first assignment back tomorrow. Let's see if Tim Wilkinson can tell that i'd spent 7hrs on the 500word report as opposed to the 20min i spent on the train to sketch my VERY badly drawn bridge.

I spent the whole of my free day in my studio yesterday finishing this abstract sculpture type thing with boxboard. The aim of it was to imagine the negative space between two dancers or two boxers in a pic that we were shown and create a 3d form of it. We'll be pouring plaster into it and hopefully it'll turn out into something cooler than what it looks like now.

I've sealed it with gaffa tape cos it needs to be leak-proof. I still have alot more to mummify.

I finally got a chance to make up for not having done Woodwork in high school. I had to spend 3hrs doing this safety workshop to get my certificate and card so i can use the ATSC studios. I have never touched a drill before until that workshop. Everyone made really cool things with their block of wood EXCEPT me LOL as demonstrated by a photograph of my craftiness. I don't even know what i was trying to make.



Have i mentioned how expensive archi materials are? You guys might be complaining about how i don't need to buy textbooks and all that, but really, it's so pricey. One pacer (or technically a 'clutch' pencil) costs $20, thats one of the cheapest things we need. The leads that go with the pacer....$25 per little pack...and we needed to get diff packs in HB, B, and 2B. A set square no bigger than a piece of A4 paper is $40. In summary, when you count it all up, it's expensive :D

Today I got home at 4.30. Then realised no one was home to open the door for me (no keys still). So went back out to the city and hung around til 9. Came back home, someone opened the door for me.

.Here's something unrelated to uni.
.Some people need to learn about dignity. I'm not meaning to sound judgemental but when they're doing it to me, i can't help but judge. It may be considered rude whether you're dealing with just me or with the big guys in the corporate world to run away and hide just because things aren't as easy as you wanted it to be. So be a little more mature. Don't pretend to be an adult when clearly you are not.
