an archi in a life

If you are architecture students you've probably experienced:

• the taste of wood glue
• changes in your vocabulary: homework to project, ball to sphere, etc
• you don't understand how somebody can spend less than rm20 at the supplies store
• you hate people telling you "go to sleep" or "do you still have a lot of work?"
• your friends and you don't have the same concept of work "oh, well do it right before class"
• you've slept more than 20 straight hours on weekends
• you can easily discuss with authority the effects of caffeine on different drinks
• no matter the effort you put in a project, somebody will always say “why don’t you add this? or “why don’t you change this here? or “i think that…but…yeah, its ok?
• you’ve heard all your ipod songs in a week
• you aren’t seen in public without bags under your eyes
• whenever you get invited somewhere, it is followed by “or do you have a lot of homework?
• you write down a quick message with rapidographs, lead holders, markers and ink
• you constantly make up excuses for courses that are not design related why you didn’t do your work
• you have more pictures of landscapes and places than of people
• your worst nightmare consists of not finishing a project
• someone once called you “lazy? and you wanted them murdered
• you can live without human contact, sunlight, food, but if your plotter’s ink runs out… chaos!!!
• when somebody lends you a Bic pen you look down at it
• you don’t care about sports cars, your favorite car is the one where you can put in your model and your huge computer
• you design spectacular things without the idea of the cost
• you have the modern mark: a blister in your palm’s hand for the constant use of your mouse
• everybody tells you how they admire your work, “but there is no money for it?
• you’ve gained the ability to sleep in whatever surface: pencils, keyboards, backpacks, your studio mates, food, etc
• you always have the idea that your project will always be recognized
• when you finally have free time to go out you keep thinking “who was the idiot that designed the restaurant’s  bathroom?? “who designed this menu?? or “who designed this [chair, table, lighting, fork, etc]?
• you've been at many sunrises, yet you've never seen one
• you need to read all this in a facebook group to realize how weird your life is
