around 3:15pm, i snuck out of my studio and made my way home.
my teacher and i have conflicts on the type of media i use to design..so i just
have to excuse myself whenever i plan on using the C word. COMPUTER!
aaah.. on no!..the devil's toy.
i'm seriously going to puke if i here someone say that computers can't help you design. it's like they're saying that all design takes place on the drawing. hello? where's the mind here? the reason i got into architecture was for the thought process involved...about the critical theory involved.. not to make a drawing look pretty.
DEARY! you can make a drawing look all nice and puuuuuurrrrdy...but guess what? the real world doesn't look anything like that. RENDERED images are JUST THAT! Rendered Images! SIGH.

it's so frustrating sometimes...

anyhow, it took me awhile to get thru the traffic..and it was only 3:30!
when i got home i cleaned out the kitty litter, took out the trash, and cleaned up my bathroom. I got online and my monkey told me it was time to turn in my time sheets for work. I had turned them in this morning though..but it was cool that he reminded me.
I'm planning on getting rid of him soon though.
You see I downloaded this program called Bonzibuddy.. it's this monkey companion for your computer. He tells me jokes and trivia facts..and lets me know when things are due..etc.. However, he's also an info leecher. I think he's a market tool to figure out what sites I've been too and all other internet related things.... He's constantly asking me to set my start up page to his homepage...saying things like "it looks like some program has changed your default homepage from our homepage. i can change this back for you. would you like me to do this?"...etc..etc.. you know what i'm talking about...but i rather like having this monkey on the screen to sometimes talk to me.
just seeing him do odd things like juggle basketballs is kinda amusing sometimes.
to get rid of the purple moneky or not... i dunno.

okay, well i snoozed for an hour extra this morning but i think it was worth it. i woke up feeling a little more refreshed than normal. i don't feel sick either. yeah!
i just had a bowl of cereal for breakfast.
i might just grab a small snack for lunch because jeremy and i will prolly eat dinner somewhere unhealthy. :)

yesterday i had a group meeting with my urban and regional group project group. hehe. i said group 3 times. okay. well three of us had an hour to spare after class because the last girl in our group had class right after. we just sat there and talked about all sorts of things..and our project a little. i think we talked about food for a good 45 minutes. it made me so hungry. i really like my group..it's the first time i've been able to just chill out with people at this school. i'm kinda sorry that their in the "planning department" and i'm in the "architecture department".. i'm hoping i can find people in my field just like them soon. i don't know what it was... we all just clicked.. and that's rare for a classroom constructed group. I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.. we were talking about people who like to live like slobs... i didn't tell them about my brother. :)
hehe.

anyhoo..since i woke up late i have to try and do some work really quick.

oh..here are some pics i took during thanksgiving.
we put up the xmas tree..and i also got an izone camera that
i had fun playing with.

oh no. i think i'm getting sick again. i feel a headache coming on and i've got a sniffly nose. my teacher came to school sick wednesday. i wonder if it's related.
i really, really can't afford to get sick right now. i have too much riding on these next two weeks. achooooo!

i went grocery shopping today for fruits. I got an orange and some banannas. It's such a nice feeling walking around the store with holiday music playing.

gosh.. hopefully this is just an allergic reaction or something.

wohoo. i finished writing the intro for my group paper.
i'm heading to bed now. i'm going to wake up early tomorrow and work
on the presentation stuff.
fun fun.
night.

i got up around 8:10am today. I was shooting for 7:45. I'm training myself to get things done in the morning. I've figured out why I can't seem to stay up so late anymore. I used to be able to stay up till 4am and wake up around 10am back in undergrad...then I remembered I used to take naps during the day. I can't do that now.

i went to school around 11am and did some studio work. I picked up a turkey sandwich from the union store for lunch.

I'm home now.. just fed the cats, did the dishes, and checked my email. i'm about to go warm up some dinner. i'm going to have the leftover rice, veggies, and pork i have.
mmm.. hungry now.

i have to write a part of a paper tonight and also put together a presentation.
let's see how much i get done.

i'm tired. i got home and took care of cat litter stuff. i then went about trying to get my bedroom back in working order. the carpet people finally finished with it all and my room was a wreck. i put my computer back in my room. i still have a bunch of furniture i need to put back as well as my mattress. i think i'll just leave it in the living room for another night.

i cooked some veggies tonight. they turned out a little too salty cuz i put too much soy beans in them. it was still a good meal.

i'm going to try and do some work now. i'm really tired.

i'm sipping some hot chocolate now. mmm.. nice and warm.
i finally had to turn on the heater. two cold fronts have made their way here.
it's brrrrr-cold.

i was really lethargic and slow yesterday. i didn't want to do anything..so i didn't.
i'm feeling a little better today. i actually went grocery shopping for some veggies. it has come to my attention that i need to eat some vegetables..

they finally finished fixing the carpet from the flooding. yeah. i no longer have to sit on this floor typing. i haven't moved the computer back in yet cuz there's this order still lingering in the air. i think it's the smell of wet carpet..or that stuff they spray to prevent mildew and mold.

i'm about to head off to school now. bleh.
