Lately, I've been feeling pretty compasionate about my career choice and I'm having a lot of postivie thoughts and experience with design along with a recently deeper interest in it too, and to top it off, today, my teacher told me that my ideas are very good and I do well in conveying them but, I don't do them on time. Alas, time has been my downfall since at least third grade. Late assignments, late assignments, late assignments! But I digress. The more I think about it the worse it becomes.
In other news, I have an assignment in marketing which requires me to compare two stores that have both online and brick and morter locations. I chose Best Buy and Barnes & Noble. And upon visiting the book store I had this fantasy of being the type of person who goes to the bookstore to pick up a book, buy it, read it and do it all over again every week or so. It doesn't sound quite as glorious in text but, the word enlightenment comes to mind. I don't know why it sounds like a cool thing, especially since I'm just not the type of person who would make time for that type of lifestyle.
Also I can't seem to get to bed tonight so I think I'm going to take a shower now and hope I can wake up for my class tomorrow morning.
Speaking of classes, I signed up for my new classes next semester, 5 classes. I should have every single one of my general electives done plus two history classes that I wasn't supposed to have taken until I got into the Arch. program. And, next semester I don't have a studio for once so it should be interesting to see how differently I can handle my time management skills. OH, and I applied for a job, I should be able to get it shortly with my method, and I'm hoping this will have a positive affect on my time management unlike video games do.
I think one of the reasons I am the way I am is because as a kid I changed schools 4 times before 5th Grade was over and I became a very adaptable type of person, easy and going with the flow so as not to create confrontation most of the time. But on the other hand, I can be very very stubborn about things and I'm not sure why or what has caused this trait in me. The stubbornness can often lead to "going nowhere" arguements. For example, I argued with my cousin once for quite sometime about how wierd it was that he wore gym shorts under his jeans and not just jogging pants. Strangely enough I do this a lot now myself, and my only arguement is that doing so creates versatile functioning.
Versatility is one of my favorite characteristics for a design to have. If you can design something to have multiple funtions (being versatile) but having a great aesthitic quality about it, then you've got something that can really be admired.
The end.
If Only
