the truth hurts

the start of this semester has been really good.
i don't want to jinx it by talking about it too much...
but that is all i will say.
and i hope that it continues to be filled with assignments i really am interested in.

i see myself more dedicated to the assignments.
for example, i spent 6 hours last night making the frame of a half sphere... which didn't turn out the way it should have.
so - complete waste of time, but still satisfied that i started early :)


note: this did not turn out as good as it looks.

i find that this year... or just the start...
has been really good to me.
even though classes are filled up to 5pm most of the time or i work til 5...
the positive attitude towards it is that time flies by so much faster for me.
i seriously did not realize how fast time was going til i noticed this is already Week 2 going on to 3.
weekends are filled with MASCA activities...
but that will only last for the first few weeks.
next thing i'll know it'll be winter break...
and one more semester left this year :D

on another note:
i am selling off my Olympus SP-510uz, complete with the cover bag, rechargeable batteries and its charger, tripod, 2gb Fujifilm XD picture card, usb cable and whatnot.
at a reasonable price of $450-500, which can be negotiated...

crashing down.

today was a goooooood day.
where i felt so proud of myself,
that Masters of Architecture is the right path for me.

at first, i just thought it ridiculous for us to have to design and build a model/robot that can jump.
it's like - "what's this got to do with architecture???"
even as i was asking around for other people's insights, nobody really knew what to say because it's like i'm in a whole other course.
but turns out my model was just fine.

i came into class worrying about the materials i've used,
when i had a few glimpses of other people's model materials.
several had the same concept as mine, and looked much more better.
but in the end, my model won the Most Elegant title,
or at least i shared it with 2 other people.
yes, that meant my tutor liked it.

so next assignment sounds more like the artsy stuff i was doing back in LaGuardia High School in NYC.
and i'm excited for it...
but as for now, I've got to concentrate on my next model-making assignment that's due on Thursday...
which, of course, i have not started.
when i know I won't have much time tomorrow, seeing as how i'm working after class, i'm still procrastinating.
i know i've got this assignment due and i need lots of time on it so i won't have to stay up all night.
however, my mind has randomly chosen for me to concentrate on other works.
like this blog.

i can feel my mind pushing myself towards the edge of a cliff...
trying to balance, preventing from a deathly fall.

it doesn't seem i have learnt my lesson.
