week 1

Well, I've had all my classes at least once now so it gives me an idea of the workload to come, and well, it will be a lot but let's not be lazy and i'll get it done, as always, let's just hope.
I'll have two core (boring) courses : professional practice and building services. That will be horrible but there is no way out of it so i'll just have to ask for help around me.... and work hard on it I guess.
Then, I hae two electives : Architecture and the consumer society which should be quite interesting. It will be on malls, casinos and museums.... and Photography, society and the built environment. I've been wanting to do that one for a while now, since they always exhibit in the foyer space and it often looks quite interesting. The only problem is that I want to do it well and I'm worried about how much time I will actually be able to devote to it. On the other hand, it will give me a break from boring subjects, make me use the camera (otherwise, I might not take the time to do it on my own as much) and the design studio is intensive wich means that most of the session should be pretty managable, I'll just have to put in more hours for about 4 or 5 weeks out of 13 or 14 so.....
The other good thing is that I believe I could easily combine the two electives (consumer society and photo) and hit two birds with one stone by using the research from one for the other etc... and, first of all, save myself some time + actually get to use what I will be learning, turn the theory into practice....
And so yeah, the intensive design studio which will only start in week 6 and end after the mid session break at the end of september. The tutors from Spain will be coming and hopefully, they'll come with some students.
So yeah, that's my session to come. It might be quite a bit of work, but as I said before, I never want another session like the one that just finished which was so painfully empty. I noticed that I do nothing if i have nothing to do and that things get done only when there is too much to do....
Oh and if I plan to have a life outside of Uni, well, I'm not fooling myself yet... we will see
I also almost forgot that I have to find a job too....................................................
