freezing 8am


I started this post long time ago, but didn't have time to finish it completely. So, I ended up adding little pieces to it everyday. It becomes a "report of the week"...
......................................................
Tuesday...
I just came back from a field trip for my building construction class. Better than last time, I was able to get a ride to the site this morning and joined the group on time. Thanks to David (aka the Mr.Usagi), I didn't have to ride my bike to the Duck's village and being a frozen-Ci.

I woke up early this morning, like 5am, after having a crazy dream. I dreamed I had to deliver a cheeseburger (A cheeseburger? Was I that hungry?) to a weird place, which I had no idea how to get there. The destination was so far away from the house where I picked up the cheeseburger and the client requested me to drive his car and drop it off with the burger there. Btw, I still don't know how to drive...hhee...So I started my journey with wondering around the area and tried to ask for directions. Then, I saw these tiny creatures that look like the mushroom head in Mario on the street! As I was hesitating about whether I should ask them for direction, they came to me and said "Hello, stranger, follow us". Surprisingly, these things ran super fast! I had to chase them alone the road crazily. But in the end, I managed to deliver the burger and I didn't make any damage to the car. Whew!

After I finished my classes, I went to Subway to get a big sandwich. I guess the girl working there was just too tired that she gave me back $5.99 in cash when I gave her my card to pay for the sandwich. Hum... now I'm thinking I should just take that money and run away, hhoooo...

I went back to school for a review section later in the evening for a big test in Spatial Composition on Thursday. It was INTENSIVE. We had to go over notes from 15 lectures and readings in 90 mins. I'm so nervous about this test right now. It counts as 35% of our final grade for that class. Wish me good luck!

Wednesday...
I'm in my studio right now. I don't know where the heck my teacher is. But I'd rather prefer she's not interrupting with my drawing process right now. And my building construction teammate took away my student ID for printing. I couldn't find him in the studio to get my ID back. How can I take the bus to go home tonight? Ehhhh...nnNNnn!

Later in the evening...
I had to do a sketch model for Spatial Composition class that's due tomorrow (Ya! I had to do review for the test of the same class too!). The assignment was to turn a random 2-D drawing into a building. I stared at the drawing I got for more than an hour, but I had no idea how to do it. The drawing was so blur and it didn't make any sense to me. Whatever, I just need to get this done! DWTX was so nice to me. He stay with me till 1am and read the review material for me while I was doing the model. We finally stopped doing it because I couldn't do two things at the same time. I kept making mistakes in the model. But at least the reading was helpful for me. I was able to use some of the stuff in the test. Thx hon.

Thursday...
I woke up around 9am to study for the test (btw I went to bed 3:30 last night). I had a headache and I was dizzy. But I had to force myself to concentrate on the review. That didn't feel good at all.

I was so tired the whole day. I couldn't remember what I did except the test. I did all the questions, wrote lots of stuff and drew some nice diagrams on the paper. I think I did okay. But, whatever. I'm done.

I came home as soon as I finished my classes and went directly to my bed. I took a super good nap! But the stress didn't go away at all. I had to speed up my pace on doing the final presentation for studio. I'll have another big test next Tuesday for Building Construction and an Japanese oral performance test right after it. I'm so sick of the school right now. Staring at my drawings could make me vomit. I just realized that the studio final presentation is on the Tuesday after Thanks Giving holiday. That means the holiday is a crazy-working period for me instead of a study break. TAO YAN!!

My right shoulder is killing me these days ‘cos I’m doing drawings on those super tall drafting tables all the time. There’s no other way to deal with it. I just have to bare the pain. It gave me hard time to fall asleep last night even I massaged it for a long time. Ehhh… I’m dying…

Friday...
I'm in my studio again, trying to finish this post and publish it. I'm hungry...

The goal for today:
-Finish 1/8" floor plan
-Do 1/4" sections (2)
-Do 1/8" elevations (front&back)
-Maybe I'll do a 1/32" context drawing. I hate doing urban context drawing...
-many many perspective drawings... I mean, thaaaaaaat <((>.<))>many...

wan nan~

oh, my poor cici tong xue...
DWTX is bizzy too. I've got a presentation in Decision Sciences on Monday, separate homework due in the same class and a quiz in finance right after that.

But we will both get through it! Jia You! We just need to remember to relax sometimes when school life gets too stressful.

Let's enjoy watching a Halli Potta with me! Ok! ;)
