Life has been crazy fun lately, but now is the time to pay for it. At the end of every semester I feel like my professors pile up a ton of work for me to do in the last week and a half. For starters, I have a research paper that I’ve been working on, however my instructor decided to just tell me that they “didn’t understand why my topic is important.” I mean, what is that!? I’ve been working on this since December and now they tell me? anyhow, I decided to keep the topic, no point in starting over since its due tomorrow (its 10-12 pages with out pictures–oh its for architecture, so floor plans and photographs are pretty essential, its no picture book!), but I’ll be trying to change my approach to the topic. Hopefully that will be enough, especially since it’s worth 40% of my grade for the class!

Then in another class I’ve got models, drawings, 3D renderings and all… its like starting over as well!!!
GAH! Not to mention another class that I need to make a super detailed model with little chairs, beds, and kitchen…

SOCCER..SOCCER..SOCCER

Unfortunately we lost our first game in the finals, and scince its sudden death we won’t be playing anymore. Its so sad! At least I can say we got first in our bracket; our team was actually really good, but the game was lost because of bad luck. The worst thing about it is that their winning goal was controversial, I’m still not convinced that it went into the goal. It was one of those instances where it’s about to go in, but then the goalie swipes it out as its about to cross over the line. *sigh* I really hate that

It was still a fun game though, we had a huge crowd come out for us. Considering we’re only playing IM sports it was like we had a whole stadium! Our team has an architecture name, so obviously we’re out there representing everyone in our major! ( see we do have lives sometimes! haha) All architects, roommates, and friends showed up in bright pink, which is our team color. Some people used spray dye in their hair, people came in bright pink tights and fishnets, and bright pink sweatbands! It was amazing! Not only that, but a couple minutes into the game a group of people came running in with all sorts of signs! We had:

pink floor plans (we have a specific type of church building type as our name, so they printed some out on 11×17)

“kick some apse” (once again a play on our name)

“osnap” (our favorite autoCAD tool)

plus some other little signs and stuff. It was really exciting to have such an awesome fan group! I’m sorry we lost when they all came out to support us, but  I think they had fun! I definitely did! When I got pushed over by some big guy everyone in the crowd got really angry, and then someone yelled “HEY, DON”T TOUCH PIA!!!” haha, I couldn’t get mad about the fact that I got pushed over, and hence a turf burn! If I had the time I probably would have sat there laughing! Someone brought a camera, so I can’t wait to see the pictures see took!

yay for a good day before a wave of death…

So I begin the blog.

I guess you could say I’m not use to this. I always find the need to be extremely witty to make this worth while, but then again that just makes me waste all the more time. And time my friends, is definitely something I don’t have the luxury of having lots of.

Never mind that, I’m writing now, mostly for my enjoyment and at the request of an AWESOME friend. Actually, rarely speak my mind in front of people, I think it would frighten a lot of people away. But I guess writing it wouldn’t be too bad, just don’t me too seriously if I say something compeletey outrageous. I’m hoping the fact that its written will give people to time to absorb and react… hmm…now I’m just saying nothing.. again.

Whatever. Today was great! I went to the Asian Art Museum in San Fransisco, and thankfully my friends and I were able to go together (oh, it was for a class assignment). We started the day super early and met at the BART around 9:30am (Just a side note: we’re all architecture students, which means we rarely go to sleep before 2 or 3 am and every hour we rest is HEAVEN! ) Of course everyone was a bit late, but that was okay, our spirits were surprisingly high for meeting on a weekend the same time we have class on the weekdays. I always appreciate outings with friends–I mean I do have friends, but few close ones, and only a couple I feel I’m pretty honest with–so today was exciting just because I got to know people better, and on top of that I met someone new.

Funny side story: this “new person” is someone I felt I kind of knew just because everyone else knew him as the “hot freshman,” but he didn’t have an actual name and personality until today.

Moving on. I guess we were all pretty excited to be seeing each other outside of school, and more specifically studio, because we were all hyped up and social. I’m sure that people in a bad mood would have wanted to shoot us all for our display of happiness– I know I’ve felt that way loads of times (“People souldn’t be so happy when life is this horrible. I’m angry so you should be too!” I know it makes no sense.) The point is, I was having fun. Its probabSince we’re arch. majors we’re all pretty quirky–i take pride in that–so I think our personalities have a good mix:

there’s the asshole who takes every opportunity to say something mean, which usually doen’t apply to anything we’re saying anyways, but I find hilarious

the always hyper giggly girl who finds something funny in everything we see, do , say (she’s optimism in a group of pessimistic people)

the new couple–they always give us something to talk about

the sweet realistic one who brings attention to every weird thing that we do when we’re together

and the “hot freshman” well he’s a funny guy, who apparently gets stocked in art museums by really nervous old men (I’m not kidding!)

and me.. not sure what I bring to the table, I can’t really judge myself, but I guess … my random comments and ability to relate to all my Asian friends, and sometimes out-Asian them! mwahahaha!

All in all, there really isn’t ever a time when our weird/akwardness stops. I guess today the best example would be the following: We all know each other relatively well, I mean we’re in studio all the time, but even so we decided to start our tour in a pretty conventional way…for strangers. Yeah, we all introduced ourselves; we covered the basic four questions: name, grade, majors/minors, and where you come from. Now remember that we were a group of 8, so we continued this for about five minutes; really, I don’t know how we decided to do this, but we all circled up and introduced ourselves like it was the first day of class two years ago! Just to add on to the awkwardness of the day the exhibit we went to see was called “Dreams and Desires”, you can imagine… lots of graphic paintings on scrolls(but I do have to cut myself off and say that the colors and artistic mastery were incredible! Yay Japanese artists!). Other than that, we took lots of interesting photos together, most of them show our reactions to some of the art work/ carvings/ sculptures/etc. Once I get it from the multiple cameras that came along with us today I’ll share.

Mkay, I think its time to install Adobe CS3 collection! I’m so excited! I’ve dedicated the last couple days to freeing up at least 18 gigs of hard drive to get it all on my laptop. It was a painful processes of deleting movies, music, pictures, and computer programs, but i keep thinking that it will all be worth it! Oh yeah, I just finished installing AutoCAD 2007 too; I know I’m so computer savvy!

so I’ll leave you with that.
