    Inspirationally brain dead

    Ive slept 2hrs in the last 48hrs. Or better yet, ive slept 9hrs over the last 96hrs.
    So it's interesting.
    If you could choose, would u rather:

    (A) read and study books in concentrated periods of time during your week

    OR

    (B) engage with model making and creative things at every second of your 'free' time.

    Even though I am exhausted, addicted to caffeine, unable to establish when my meal times are, or when i am supposed to brush my teeth and shower. I still love my course. I would definately choose option B but occasionally when I am struggling through 5hrs of studio with 0hrs of sleep, i do briefly consider option A.

    This was a collage we had to do back in wk2... Little did i know we had it real good then. _____________________________

    This week's weekly assignment for my Communications class. We had to build 3 Diagram models of aspects of our given building which was Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple for me. I chose to represent mass/material, light, and circulation in my models.




    This is my storyboard where we had to place a story we made up weeks ago inside our given building. We had to use photos of our models and etc.

    Its pretty hard to read...but start with the top left frame and and move along horizontally.

    Basically my story is based on a nightmare i had back in HSC times where this guy was chasing after me with an axe and i was running around my house (I actually wrote about it back then in this blog...)


    Total time taken for Communications hw this wk: 50hrs

    For next Tues' design studio we have to build a structure system from part of our model (the coloured one in my othe post). I chose to do the spirally bit running down the centre (blue/red bit)

    My googled inspiration:

    Classical Gas by Eric Clapton (1/5 page of it anyway)

    NoDOZE

    I have not slept in the last 41hrs :D
    I made this coloured model for design studio. That grey model u can kinda see in the pic, that was my original. We had to use different colours to represent the different kind of spaces in our plan.
    Time taken for coloured model: 15hrs
    Time taken for origincal grey model: 25hrs
    Funny thing is that these are all just weekly studio exercises and homework.

    This is what we did yesterday for our Construction class. It was supposed to be a 'speed model' done in groups of 4 and basically we were thrown into the deep end (cos our construction tutor is NOT helpful at all). We were given plans and had to make a 3d model out of them.
    Our overal product :) we reckon it looks pretty cool.
    Time taken: 5hrs

    Attachment prone

    - that is me, also as a characteristic of the ENFP personality type.

    I have 5months. 5 months to either distach myself and cause myself less pain when the time does come or 5months to make the most of.

    I hate this. I get attached to people, places, and things so much that i find it so hard to let them go. Eg, highschool where in the last couple of weeks i was an unpredictable bag of waterworks.
    I don't get attached to things that easily but when i genuinely like them or enjoy a place, i want to keep them forever.

    See, ENFPs only make up 7% of the population. Therefore it is fairly possible that my attachment issues is only onesided. Everytime i think about time and its continuous neverending nature, my head starts spinning and i can't breathe. Would pretending and lying to myself that it's not really happening just cause more sadness later?

    What's also distressing is that if you take away the proximity, you take away the love. Meaning that for me, as an ENFP, i start forgetting about people when i stop having contact with them and i stop caring about them as much. I really don't mean to or want to but i know it'll happen.

    I'm on a selfish streak too. I want to keep friends to myself so im not thrilled about recent events.

    SOMEONE GIVE ME A PAUSE BUTTON PLEASE

    Easter fridayy

    Yay a week of holidays!

    I got out of bed at 3 today :D Last night i went to the tsa cruise which some of u guys went to as well. It was fun-ish apart from the feel up on the dance floor, having to walk away real quick everytime i saw this guy getting it on with his gf, and the lack of good dance music.

    I totally got stuck in ct yesterday. See, usually when im out past 1 i would end up staying over at a friend's place. But yesterday my friend, Grace, had already gotten on the taxi home when me and other friend, patrick, found out that there weren't any trains left. I was tempted to crash at grace's place since i wasn't about to accept the friend's offer of his place. But in the end i spent $45 on a taxi home :( :(

    Four ppl (that i know of) have already hooked up in our course. One's a 'hot' couple and the other one is..cute-ish. I kinda predict that the hot ones wont last too long....
    ______________________________

    I think i idealise people too much. So much that i trust everyone and see good in everyone. The only exeption is for ppl who smoke, do drugs, party a helluva lot, incredibly flirty, or never go to classes or just dont do their work. It kind of shocks me everytime the goodness i see in ppl backfires on me or it turns out that i was very wrong about them.

    This is just a general observation.

    UPDATE

    I look forward to uni everyday :) really.

    For this mini group project we had to make a bridge out of 30 straws and sticky tape. Every group's bridge got tested on its stability. Our bridge carried 1.45kg which i was fairly surprised about since i thought it was crap considering i was doing it at 2.30am. The winner was a 2.25kg.

    (pic of testing my groups bridge)


    And if anyone remembers that plaster model i had to make, it had broken into 3pieces and i superglued it and sanded it and everything right. Well during the train ride the morning after i completely broke it. Lucky i had good photos of it.



    We're making our first somewhat 'proper' model. This looks really little but it took me about 10 extra hours this week in my studio but its prob cos im just a bit pedantic.


    I noticed that my course is kinda demanding. I stay back after tuts and lectures for at least 3hrs everyday easy. Funny how this feels like that hsc period when i went Stateing everyday but now i actually really enjoy it.

    Do i talk about my uni stuff too much?? LOL

    _____________________________

    I'm over that thing in the last post. and NO bernadette, i did not take the initiative to ask a guy out. Gees.

    OMG okay I was sitting in the lecture the other day behind this guy who looked liek Roger Federer but hotter! And I witnessed him hooking up with the girl sitting next to him. Through the entire 2hr lecture, the girl was completely flirting with Federer and twice they nearly pashed. But they went for the kiss as soon as the lights turned on. LOL i obviously paid more attention to them than the lecture.

    I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic with some uni friends on sunday. One of them is a tad posessive. I find it so strange cos ive never been confronted with these sorts of ppl, the type of bitchy, not-alway-so-nice gfs. Don't get me wrong, she's still a friend but i feel like if i somehow crossed on her bad side, she wouldn't be so nice about it.
