to put one's life on hold....

I guess that according to Shakespeare, life is what happens while you are busy doing something else.... well, the point isn't really about who said this or that but that life must be seriously under way right now because i have been freakay busy!!
it's a bit of a shame that all this business has mainly been spent in pajamas with copious amounts of instant coffee by my side....
On the up side, I have to admit i have turned right back into an architecture loving nerd and have re-found the old feeling of knowing why I want to study this... I had lost sight of that and eventhough it is more work than what i have produced in 3 years, i am also really enjoying it and feeling architecturally revived.
The studio is so far going really well, this first semester is about preparing for the second fnal semester so it's all about defining a program for a future building and studying the site etc... in order to come up with a design for it next session. in my case, the brief and site are quite loose except that it will be in sydney and will be a public building, some kind of institution like an art gallery or whatever.... for the last few weeks, I've been intensely studying an art gallery by portuguese architect Alvaro Siza and it's that building that is completely responsible for the previously mentioned love of architecture since it is really beautiful and fantastic to study.
anyway, enough of the nerdy stuff.... unfortunately, that;s almost all that;s been happening lately and it is proving difficult to find time for other things except a few social events and a lot of yoga! it might sound kinda weird but my downward dog pose is looking good and i'll be turning into bendy wendy in no time, i have even made the purchase of a proper yoga mat, the neighbours might have caught unaware performing a salute to the sun once or twice this week and yes, i have sort of ditched the pool for now... i guess i function in phases,,, what next?
I have been slack with the camera but I miss it and better get back into it illico presto since Chris and I will be the "official" photographers for Melissa's wedding so there you go!
Chris is doing fine by the way, he is in a different studio and it's interesting to compare the approaches although at the moment I am only concerned by the fact that he has a tendency to womanise female tutors with his extreme intelligence and good looks... i guess it was to be expected.
Anyway, You're happy now Maurice??
