Because Looking at Contracts Being Projected on the Walls Bore Me...Terribly

Why hello!

     It's been a while I know. I'm sure many of you have missed the random musings of the life of a 20-and-change American gal...(hint: sarcasm). Needless to say I've been involved in that slow drowning process called graduate school. Things have happened, good, bad, and ugly. This semester is the most difficult studio in the sequence of 7 studios. I won't bore you with the details, but it's a doozy and I'm not too sure if I am glad it's coming to an end or not. It will be another race down to the wire, requiring an all-too-un-grand photo finish.

     This post is for those who are/have suffered through it with me....it's been done before, but here is my list of:

 "You Know You are a Third Year M.Arch Student When..."



 "You Know You are a Third Year M.Arch Student When..."


1. Your 3AM playlist involves a bipolar swing from (insert your best hipster-abscure band here) to something that is payed in a strip club. *Or you have a newfound love for heavy metal. In which case PUT ON SOME DAMN HEADPHONES. They were invented for people like you...*

2. Your laundry is loosely thrown into two piles: one that says 'do not wear me I'm filthy' and one that says 'meh I could go another round.' *Or you have no laundry pile because you've worn the same outfit for the past week. In which case, please take a shower and while all lathered up, re-evaluate your priorities...for all of us.*

3. You find the scent of sawdust, epoxy, laser cut plastics, and spray adhesives/paint to be a turn on.

4. You can't remember what other classes you are taking other than studio. *Or you never show up to any other class, in which case, you are a moron.*

5. Your idea of a night out is walking down the block to grab gyros from the street cart at 3AM. Hanging out with the crowd that just got out of 'da club' in sweats makes you feel like you have a social life.

6. Your idea of a liquid breakfast/lunch/dinner is some crazy combination of coffee and energy drinks. *NOTE: if you are having a liquid week, you might want to be within reach of an AED as your heart will most likely implode.*

7. You forgot where you live. Your house keys also just happen to be the perfect proportion for scaled people in your models, so you won't be returning anytime soon.

8. Your roommate/significant other fills out a missing persons report because they haven't seen you since Halloween. *If you can't remember what your roommate/significant other looks like...you may want to seek professional help.*

9. The 4:30AM Socks-Off-Dance-Off isn't just a one time thing, it's a ritual despite how chopped up your feet become from sliding around on Exacto blades.

10. Someone on the street gives you change under the assumption you are homeless, because you actually are that much of a hot mess.

11. The past few weeks you start to believe you are in some creepy sequel to the movie TRON. There is a definite gap between you and reality because all you see (eyes opened or closed) are CAD/Revit details and some type of edit screen involving an Adobe program.

12. It becomes normal to wake up in a brightly lit room surrounded by sharp object and not be concerned about a missing kidney.

13. You are PAYING to be put through the above scenarios and the outlook of repaying for this fiasco once you get out? HAHAHA...when pigs fly...maybe...

Happy End of the Semester,
-M
