Life in studio has made a drastic shift since last semester.
It's actually productive. We are LEARNING. We're getting sleep. We're modeling our fingers off!
Yes, it is quite the contrast to what our life had become last semester. But at the same time it's very lonesome. Our studio created such a bond last semester and now... it's gone! Almost every day someone says: "I miss George/Colin/Bailey/Lena/Kenner/etcetcetc" Sigh!
And at the same time... the seniors are getting ready to graduate and get jobs / go to grad school. It's scary to think it's basically the time for us to get a move on with applications. So, so terrifying; will we actually be able to continue like we want to? We shall see....!
On another note, WIAS has been founded at Clemson, FBD at Clemson is finishing up their first project, and AIAS is getting ready to start elections for next year as well as planning a trip to South Quad! Not to mention ArchLAMP will be kicking off soon for those who are accepted. So much going on!!
Oh, and if you need a little humor in your life today, don't forget to check out Architexts!

I can see the light...
The end is near! The semester is almost over! Today is the last Monday! wooohoooo!
Wait.
Hold on...
I've five projects due this week. FIVE. And last week was Thanksgiving (aka, no work getting done). CRAP.
Let the end of the semester festivities begin; class, projects, coffee, no sleep. Let's get this party started!
Who's with me?

I Love Architecture....Even When It Doesn't Love Me Back
Insight from today's review:
Being in Architecture is like being in a bad relationship:
1.Demands all of your time
2. Doesn't let have friends
3. Takes all your money
4. Always tells you that you're wrong
5. Likes to beat you up and make you feel worthless
"I can't talk to you. I'm having a nervous breakdown."-Ashley
"We were a little behind on our plans. YOU kept changing our plan, actually." -Sarah to the prof, who didn't respond
"I'm glad we took this trip." -Betsy on going back to the same design she had 2 weeks ago
"Another question is: how do these stand up?" -Verdy
"In order to communicate, you have to step out of your own brain and into someone else's for a while" -Lena on why professors never know whats going on
"Architecture: What a great fucking concept." -Liz
And thats what review is like kids. One piece of advice for anyone out there looking to study architecture: If you like to sleep, you won't like architecture.

Prelim Review Day
Review days are a funny thing.
You're stressed out and worried about what your professor is going to say, how much they're going to hate your review, and how long it is going to take them to break the model you slaved over for days.
Yet at the same time, you've reached this point of, "I just don't care anymore." Yep, I admit it, I just don't care.
This is especially the case with Friday reviews. Seriously, you want us to sit here until 6PM on Friday? Really? Who's bright (or much more so, dim in terms of the person who thought it up) idea was this?
Nope, I've checked out. I'm ready for my Saturday and my first day in like, a month, that I'm going to be able to sleep in.
I miss having a professor who knows how to help us further our design rather than make us stall to where progress is impossible. [insert gigantic sigh]
ANYWAYS. Back to the idea of a review.
Yes, we sit hear, listen to our classmates talk about their projects to the professor[s], when you already know everything they're saying, because, after all, you do live with your studio mates. You see them more than your actual roommates or family, how could you not know about their projects? Yep, so everyone sits there, tired, irritated, and wanting to go home.
The definition of productivity, right?

I. Want. This.
Let's be honest, who doesn't like a good, old fashioned swing?
But this, THIS makes swinging hip, elegant, mature.
Seriously, I could do this with a wine glass in my hand and look totally happenin'.

*SIGH* Maybe one day when I'm a rich and famous architect, I can add to the population of my yard with this little treasure.
