1. MIDTERM!
   So on Thursday we had a midterm in my 443 class and I totally meant to print out all the material before leaving for NY so that I could study in NY, but alas, I ran out of time and didn’t get around to it, so that meant Wednesday night, after getting back, was full of printing and studying. I kind of gave up around 3-ish in the morning even though I didn’t finish going through the material because I was tired and still kind of on NY time. I woke up around 9-ish on Thursday and did a quick skim through the rest of the stuff I didn’t get to and didn't even have time to review anything before I had to get to class. =( The midterm kind of sucked because there were some questions I knew I needed to review and I didn’t get a chance to really absorb it when I went through everything. I’m kind of sad now because I don’t really think I did well enough to get an A on that midterm and I was one point from an A on the last one and there’s only the final left and I really want an A in this class! ;_; So annoyingggg!



2. STUDIO!
   On Thursday, our professor emailed us and said that he would be coming around to talk to us on Friday and that we had to catch up to Step #5 (which was due two weeks ago and extended to last week before we left) and have it all printed to go over. Needless to say that I was so not there and, honestly speaking, I was still stuck somewhere around Step #3. That obviously meant an all-nighter to catch up as much as I could. -_- Of course, I probably would have gotten more done if I didn’t sit around and catch up on the last two episodes of Glee before getting to work, but whatever, no one said I was the brightest crayon in the box, LOL. At least I knew that it was a bad idea -- I just did it anyway. XP (I am definitely talking about those two episodes later in this post, lol.)
   
   Anyway, Tara and I were sitting in our living all night working on stuff -- I was mostly working on Revit and trying to come up with a working model of my building so I could get my exploded axonometric done (Step #4). Revit hated me all night, probably because my building is freakin’ huge and I don’t have a lot of memory on my laptop, so by the time class started, I still was where I was before I started -- a little bit of everything but nothing done. Luckily (or not so luckily) he said he was going in alphabetical order in his e-mail and when I was in class, I realized that meant that I was last, lol. So there I was working my ass off trying to get stuff done and then I eventually got a lame axon printed that looked kind of horrible and showed program more than anything else, but at least it was something printed. I also had my hand-drawn section that I drew up in CAD, but I didn’t have time to print it. -_- At least it was hand-drawn and done though, since in his e-mail he said he didn’t want to look at the computer. (Moot point because when he came to me, we ended up looking at my Revit model anyway.)
   
   So there I was waiting for my turn and I stopped working on my Revit model when it was about two people before me because I knew that if I drew anything, it would take forever to finish regenerating and I didn’t want to take that risk for when he got to me. And so he finally made it to me around 5:57PM, of course, and then I kind of showed him where I was and then he asked about my section model and I said that I didn’t know what the facade looks like still and he was like, "I feel like you still don’t have a building concept" blah blah and that was why I’m still struggling with the facade and stuff. And really, I suppose that is kind of true, but mostly it’s just been me being focused on other little things in my project. -_-
   
   Then he was going on about it might be because I didn’t think about how the terminal was laid out and how I should reconsider the configuration because I laid out the gates based on the information from codes and more of an engineering point of view or whatever. IDK, it was ridiculous because he started talking about how I can’t do an SFO layout because of space restrictions, then brought up LAX and how things were laid out there and the whole time I was thinking, WHAT. THE. FUCK!
   
   Seriously! I mean, just saying I should reconsider the configuration made me see red because that was my problem in the first place, was listening to him tell me to think about it more and that’s why I was behind in Step #3 (floor plan, elevation, section) since he told me to reconsider my layout at that point too! And back then, I actually HAD an oval shaped layout that he was talking about and he didn’t really like it -- I didn’t really like it either because I didn’t feel like that was working for the site and seriously, he was basically telling me to go back to where I was at about 4-5 weeks ago and that is just not on! >O Also, I totally DID think about how I was laying things out and there was a reason I decided on doing a long terminal and I was so annoyed he was trying to sell me on the stupid centralized layout thing.
   
   Of course I argued my point and talked about how I felt that the layout I had worked better for the area because of the circumstances surrounding the airport’s use and stuff, though I probably could have argued it better if I wasn’t so tired from pulling an all-nigher and then having to wait until the end to talk to him. But I still got my point across, I guess, because he backed off trying to get me to change things and told me to do some precedent studies about linear airports and other buildings and how they dealt with the facade and to figure out what the building wants to look like and stuff and to tell him what I want to do on Monday. (Thanks for giving me nothing to work with! I mean, it’s not as if I was going to do that anyway. -_-)
   
   I haven’t worked on my project at all today, but I figure this is a break and tomorrow I will get down to business and figure out my facade. How is this already week eight?! Two more weeks until finals and 12 more weeks until I’m done with school for good!



3. CHARLENE KAYE! (And Darren Criss, lol.)
   How much do I love Dress and Tie (featuring Darren Criss)?! It’s so lovely, I think I’ve been playing it on repeat almost all day, since I found it. (Why yes, I am slowly catching up on my f-list, how did you know? XP) I didn’t even know who Charlene Kaye was ‘til today, but I love her voice. ♥ I mean, check out this video of Skin and Bones!
   
   
   
   How cute (and heartbreaking) is that video?! Also, the behind the scenes! Also also, Darren Criss! I don’t know anything about them, but they would totally look cute together (whatever, I totally ship it, LOLOL. XP) I mean, look at them! They are so cute together singing A Whole New World (even when she messed up and he corrected her, lol). ♥ I must go download some of her music later, lol. XP
   
   EDIT: Now there's a video!
   
   Darren's FACE! Especially at the end! ♥___________♥ Definitely ship Darren/Charlene! XP



4. GLEE!
   I wrote this the other day when I watched these episodes, lol.
   
   ( 2x13 -- Comeback )
   
   
   ( 2x14 -- Blame It On the Alcohol )
   
   
   That’s all for now.
