Been a while... so much had happened since. Heh~~ but the biggest, and most recent, update is that after 6 years of study... instead of getting a Bachelor in architecture, we're going to receive a Masters Certificate! Apparently they kinda revised the whole education in this field and stuff and this would take effect from year 2008 onwards! Like... YAY! That's like a direct route to my masters degree!
In other news, well, had a wild party last weekend to celebrate my friend's birthday. Went clubbing at this really awesome place. LOTS of stuff happened, and I got a fair share too. Don't think I'm gonna put it up here though, coz it's "inappropriate" hehehe. Anyway, it's a real blast that left me with a hangover for most of the weekends.
Ok so my brother is leaving Sydney for good this Sunday. My sis and cousin are coming over this Saturday with my dad and aunt. Bad timing guys, I've got a huge submission coming next Tuesday. Well, to be honest I'm kinda excited about it.... but quite worrying at the same time too. Anyway, will see how it goes.
And this session is kinda bright and shining for me. It seems that, up until this point, I'm kinda on my way up and up (not up myself). I'm receiving good criticism for my drawings in both Design Workshop and Communication Studio. That's like, so damn weird coz I'm usually horrible at both hand- and technical drawings. But it's pretty sweet, though, to see that my hard work is finally paying off.
PS: And I don't know why I'm writing so weird... maybe coz I'm really exhausted from the essay I just wrote earlier... anyway I'm off to bed!

Me and the Mapmaker
And so another week flied by. Surprising enough, week 2 was merciful on us. There are no immediate assignments and I've been pretty relaxed uni-wise for the past 2 days. Seriously, when was the last time I had the chance to chill out in Unibar for the whole afternoon? It's such a great relief though everyone agrees that it's pretty weird. They're probably just letting us off easy for now, anyway.
Kinda sad and disappointed that at least 3 of my friends are leaving the course. One this session, the other 2 in the next. But I guess this kinda stuff happens all the time. Well, hope we keep in touch (which would be kinda hard, considering how Uni life revolves around people you work with) and treasure the ones that remain by our side.
In Uni, competition is brought to the next level with a handful of TAFE students transferring in this year. To put it simply, University is to TAFE and JC is to Poly. TAFE students work much more on the practical side and less theory. To be honest, I didn't think much of them during the first lesson. But by the second, they proved that they could kick our asses any day. In my studio workshop alone, 1/3 of the group were from TAFE. They're a great bunch of people and it's interesting to see their approach to different tasks (plus, their model-making skills are great!). Hope to use this little friendly competition as a source of motivation for myself.
But that's that, and we're getting back in the game. Starting tonight it's down to serious work for next week. I'm coping so much better, and I'm loving it.

Uni Weekend Getaway
Who would have thought that I'd be spening my weekends in Uni so soon? It's only been one week and already it's work overload. Spent 2 whole days trying to finish my work for next week, and it's not even 100% complete. LOL. Will add finishing touches to the model after class tomorrow. This is so inhumane...
Onto something positive. It's probably gonna sound like bragging, but I'm just gonna say it anyway. Apparently a lecturer is keeping at least one of my 2 models from last year's exhibition. I've wanted to collect both models from her last weekend, in which she told me that she'd like to keep at least one of them (the Art Gallery) until October. She wants to present it to the Institute of Architects revision panel...! Like, I'm seriously flattered and honoured. Not sure what that's going to acheive, but that's got to be one of the proudest accomplishment in my life.
So the bar is now raised and it's going to be much harder to top my own high score. :)
