Done...for now.
So...after a mad few months, I've unofficially finished my term. It has been a real trying a testing time, especially this weekend...ive never worked as hard as this. yesterday, Monday, was the day we had to hand in our portfolio and projects..this would consist of the models ive done...the sketches and development ideas...photos...and of course A2 sheets of printed stuff to mount onto a display board. this will then be formally assessed. so the stakes are high.
this was how i spent my weekend:
-started at 10am on friday morning and worked the full timetabled day till 5pm.
-carried on workin till 6:30pm and went to eat a bowl of chips at Wetherspoons with my buddy Joss who had 2 meals.
-went back to work at 7:30pm and worked till 3am Saturday morning in the studio.
-walked back to my flat and worked on Photoshop on my laptop till 5:30am
-walked back to studio to print out A2 sheets on plotter. realised i mis-typed stuff on the big sheets. £$%^&* !!
-walked back to flat to edit the documents at 6:30am...had a steak pie.
-went back to studio to print at 7am
-back to flat at 7:45am
-slept at 8am Saturday morning
-awoke at 1pm Saturday afternoon
-started to work at studio from 2pm till 10pm Saturday evening (went for Match of the Day break with Nigel and Joss) till 11:30pm.
-Back to studio and worked till 3am and slept at 4am
-Awoke at 11am and went to studio at 12pm
-Worked till 3:30am Monday morning...drank a litre of Red Bull. Couldn't yawn properly for the rest of the evening.
-Did a small dance of joy at 3:45am in front of Tom who now hates me cos i could sleep earlier than him.
-Slept at 4am Monday
-Awoke at 10am to hand in
-Now await to see if i get called back for an interview on Friday in case i dont do well.
one thing ive learnt this term is really the true meaning of really hard graft and fully focused attention where sacrifices have to be made in order for this to happen. i can still remember the pain right now...but i hope my efforts will ensure me of a good grade...im still learning...im really the average one in my year but im willing to try and scare the leaders...im the Portsmouth of my Premiership department! when i say this...i hope Portsmouth wont get relegated cos uh...my analogy would be blown outta the water!
first term has actually gone quite quickly...i think the work load helped...but so far, no regrets...still doin this God...still relying on Him to carry me through even tough i really dont deserve it...
He has helped me to really focus and grow up...along the way, He has helped me to make quite a few friends and connections (im so wired right now in my department! :p it also helps that a good portion of my older year buddies are from Christian Union...but im makin great friends with non-believers too! Go God.)
still got a busy xmas period with an essay to do which im dreading and a small xmas project (this one is pathetic to all the other projects ive done....its been projected to only take 2 hours...so this really is the lowest of the low...probably less strenous than my Life Diary thingy!
but yeah...the architecture student life is growing on me...im not a clubber for a start so that gives me ample hours to work while everyone else parties...i love my studio...apparently according to Nigel, i dress like one...im beginnin to love Red Bull; in one litre portions...and i always now analyse a straight line that ive drawn. im tellin...u look closer at urs...its not straight. so rub that out, and do it again.
