Random rant

Holidays are just around the corner and I feel as though I'm the only one looking forward to doing nothing architecture related. Many of my friends are planning on working in firms, either continuing in the firm that their working in now or moving to another that's offering positions. Am I the only one who's looking forward to trying new things? Instead of facing CAD drawings and reorganizing my thoughts and words to compose reports?

I wanna play! I wanna master my Nikon, take pretty photos of sceneries and invest in a second-hand wide angle lens. I wanna explore new places, find some new things to learn and experience! I wanna DRAW. I feel like I haven't drawn with my own hand for ages! So dependent on the computer that the functions of my hand loses it's purpose. I wanna travel, if possible. It doesn't have to be far but I just want to see something new. I wanna be there for my friends, help them if they need it, talk to them. I wanna stay at home and watch television without worrying about finishing an assignment or a report. I really don't feel like being pressured to finish someone else's work or given the responsibility to complete something I'm not interested in. I NEED TO REFRESH LE BRAIN.

I kinda feel left out when my friends are talking about working in the firm to gain more experience, but it's okay. I'm already planning to work for over a year before I leave to Strathclyde so I'm not at a loss. Haha. After listening to numerous opinions about how we should be pursuing our career, I've come to the conclusion that, I'm just gonna live my life the I want to. I shan't be influenced by others. ^_^

After the short semester ends, I will play. For the 2 months of freedom I will;

1) Make it a point to jog at least twice a week. Better if I jog every day but lets start off with twice a week for now. Must be healthier! I haz a spare tire wtf.
2) Learn to cook more food! I know how to cook pastas and all but lets try some recipes that require roasting or baking.
3) Invest in a good wide-angle lens and a tripod. Take many beautiful photos! Maybe follow Qissu's personal projects - 30 Days of Photography
4) Draw more. I wanna learn better ways to sketch and maybe learn to use more mediums. Either that or start colouring again. I MISS COLOUR PENCILS. ):
5) EXPLORE. It can be absolutely anything! :D
6) Go to concerts! It's the only time I can without feeling guilty about sacrificing time for assignments. Wakaka.


If I get bored, maybe I'll work somewhere. But not a firm. Perhaps the kindergarten near my house again? :D Or some freelance photography? Maybe some photoshop work? Or sell sketchbooks? Hahaha. Anything to refresh le brain.



On a different note, I forgot to show off this article in some random local magazine. Tis a short article about our installation! Wakaka. Yeah, it's totally random, being in an interior design magazine and all, but whatever. We still got published! xD Happy happy joy joy.
