long weekend

A great time to catch up on work. I'm taking it easy today (had some chores to do). This week is going to be crazy. Looking forward to hanging out with one of my buddies who just came off the WOZ show coming out next year from working eight months in Detroit. The images look amazing! All he wants is beer. LOL. And catching up with three other friends who also want to hang out this week. I've been studying Andy Chung's work a lot. I mean, the illustration stuff like Wen and Kutsche are great, also, (and everyone loves it) but I personally love both Hull's and Chung's work most of all. It is what I dream of at night. I so wish I could draw like that one day. I miss drafting and hatching like I used to a few years ago...spending all night and seeing the sun rise doing ground plans and elevations..one a week (about ten to fifteen pages total). I used to overdo it with the trace and plot out every single light so I would end up with thirty pages of trace, in addition to my concept book. Ah well. Soon. Most of that work is digital anyways, with programmes like Vectorworks or CAD in general. I signed up for this class I don't know if I'll get into; sketching class. I already think I'm in three others (one of which I'm told is taught by a guy who eats 'smelly burritos' *not my words LOL* all night long and is currently taking a class I'm in), but they're kind of a breeze for me. I tried to get into this other one, but I don't think it will work out. Sometimes I feel a bit daunted because it is hard. I don't mean the work...I LOVE working (speaking from someone who had three jobs while doing her degree). I mean that the support in general for people like me is just not there. I almost reamed into an admin lady this week because she was acting like she had the power to waive me in a class or not and thus determine my 'future'. I wanted to give her a stern talk about how it is the STUDENTS and THEIR performance that also determines the quality/reputation of a school (and good teachers). People forget that. And I look around and I don't see ANYONE like myself in the field. But I like a challenge..so bring it! :)
