I would like to buy a hamburger (Gianina)

 [edit: make that 7(!) notifications, as of November the 19th]

One down, two to go. I have just finished my 2nd last project for the year, and *gasp* have submitted it a day early. I just have one other project to go plus an exam for next week then I’m done for the year. Like some other person here in the blog, I have been procrastinating a lot – I must have watched more than a dozen episodes of anime since last week. The number is probably closer to 3 dozen, now that I think of it. Miraculously, I was able to finish my 2000-word take home exam and do 2 shifts during the weekend following week 12. It got me thinking that maybe my time management skills have become more developed since I took on casual work. Speaking of work, I have been having trouble getting shifts these last few days. It’s weird because when I still had classes at uni, everyone at work wanted to give me shifts. Now that I only have projects and exams to do, it’s like I have to go beg for shifts.

Oh, and I haven’t enrolled yet for next year. I made the mistake of telling my parents that the university already sent me 4 notifications (2 by email, 2 by snail mail) to enrol. Of course, that resulted to them interrogating me over dinner about what I really want to do yada yada yawn. The thing is, I was originally pretty keen on taking up Landscape Architecture as a major but now, I’m not too sure. Architecture still seems a bit tempting to take. I’m probably just a bit put off by the ecology and sustainability portions of LArch, that’s why I am running towards Architecture. However, I still have these vague memories of when I went to uni overseas and had classes in common with Architecture students. There were countless times when I thought to myself that I was quite thankful I was an LArch student – it was just not possible for me to be as borderline obsessive-compulsive about details details details as those other students. And don’t even get me started with Engineering students (I had a double-maths subject in common with them in the said overseas uni). That being said, I am also considering taking an Engineering subject for an elective next year. This is probably just my way of getting Physics and Maths out of my system, so I can focus on design for the next two years. I just hope that doing so would not tempt me altogether away from Design.

As a final note, it looks like someone from the blog is on the new edition of ‘Voice’. Seems quite inspirational.

  1. I’m very, VERY tempted to retort to your last paragraph with lots and lots of modesty, but as it is I’m probably going to appear in The Age again sometime this December u_u;;

    Although, I share your anime obsession. I went and watched the whole season of La Corda d’Oro in two days, and now I’m really itching for those Monster episodes to hurry up and download faster.
