One Hundred and and One

I realised that my last post was my 100th, oh well.

Since i like to repeat myself so much, could i just say again how MUCh i love uni? I love my friends, i love my course, i love meeting new people/making new friends, i love it all. I can't imagine how horrible it wouldve been if i hadnt gone to uni (if there had ever been a choice..)

I really hope all you uni-goers out there who havent found their calling yet, that you will soon. Stay strong, patient and make the most of it all.

I remember my 2nd day of uni the most, because it was the crappiest day of my entire short uni experience. It was isolating, depressing, friendless, and overcrowding. If i had to live that crap day every single day throughout my whole 5yr course, i don't think i would ever graduate.

Im not particularly patriotic about Sydney Uni but i do love uni itself. I think in a way, during high school, i was still trying to find myself so I didn't always feel like i was being myself.
__________________________

Oh yes, please tell me. DO I LOOK LIKE A REALLY GOOD GIRL?? I can't count how many times i've been told by how many people that i look like a super super good girl in a super super nice way. Omg.

I think highschool friends don't see me that way because you guys have seen me in my retarded stages of life (not saying im not still retarded) so the image of me then sticks to you.

Anyway i swear its cos my hair is straight or something and i wear jeans etc. I dunno but i dont get it.

Oh yeah, and just by looking at me, everyone can tell that i dont swear that much. In fact, they DARE me to drop the F-bomb "just for kicks".

Another good day :)

I went through A LOT to do this structures model. Ran around the whole of Hyde park the nightbefore this was due cos i hadnt started and didnt have any balsa sticks. Art shops around city either ran out or were closed. In the end i bussed it to Waterloo to get some off my friend. Life saver.

Anyway, pulled another all nighter for this. Its not really a suprise anymore aye.
It paid off though. My tutor loved it and the head guy of archi faculty took a pic of it. That means i should show up to nxt weeks lecture cos last time he took a pic of my work, he put it in his lecture powerpoint.

Time taken for structure model: 10hr (+ alotta caffeine and binge eating)

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

Masquerade

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
