Subconcious contamination

It's been a pretty intense ramping up into the final semester. Stress levels really going up, especially trying to figure out summer and trying to get into final production mode for school. It's been coming through in my sleep- all of a sudden, I'm having incredibly intense, realistic, bizzare dreams; like every night. One night I dreamt I was on the super huge train to Shanghai. Anyway, its felt very much like a world spinning out of control, but I'm worried I'm feeling too relaxed about it- I'm really not doing much about saving my own summer. 

I'm actually not too worried about my final project- we had a review with Sung Ho about a week and a half ago and he said he really liked the project (I want to see a quarter scale model on monday) and Derek really likes the project. I guess I like the project, although I feel like I'm not really pushing all the implications. We'll see.

Still have some minor misc. stuff for my Mid-century class, I need to re-write my paper for AA for monday, and finish the strucutres homework- and then I'm pretty much done for the semester other than studio. Our review is a week from tuesday, so I'm going to get a better layout for my boards this weekend. Board graphics were always one of my weakest skills I think. 


I've got a pretty sectional model out of wood. It's been a wood and rockite semester. The final model should be pretty nice. Revit and photoshopped renderings, yeah.

Took the structures final this morning- so happy it was not cumulative. It was multiple choice- which has ups and downs. On the one hand, I don't have to do much work like working out problems and I'm actually better at concepts rather than problem solving with numbers and formulas. There's also the advantage of knowing how to make multiple choice questions work for you. The downside is that there's no partial credit. So we'll see. I got a 89 the first test, a 94 or 96 the second test, and I'm hoping to at least make a 90 on this test. It'd be nice to get an A in structures.
