- ninensei!! -

*****
did my subject registration just today. taking 26 credits this term, among which 16 are related to architecture - Architectural Design and Drawing, Building Construction, History of Modern Architecture, Architectural Design (which is rather different from the 1st subject), Environmental Engineering and Building Services, Exercise of Architectural Planning and Design, Applied Mathematics for Engineers, and Strength of Materials S.
others being art subjects - Japanese Language, Japanese Affairs, Japanese Culture, English, and also Media and Journalism in Japan.
seems a lot. and YES, IT IS A LOT. i wish i had a better schedule, better as in not so tight. my Monday classes only begin at 1.20pm. for Tuesdays and Wednesdays, classes begin at 10.40am. whereas on Thursdays and Fridays, 9am. if you think i can relax and watch anime during weekends? dream on. the 3rd week of term 1 has only begun and we have an important assignment to hand in right after Golden Week - 2 A1-size worth of plot plans of the Cunningham House. i haven't actually touched the assignment, but some classmates have started staying over IN the architecture drawing lab to finish up their plans as soon as possible.
also, we almost missed our last trains on Saturday doing a project on "sitting". the presentation was today and every group turned up with predictably ordinary themes and conclusions, the teachers made predictable reactions, and at the end the lecturer gave us predictable comments. everything went... predictably. but i guess a comment like "your presentation is too ordinary we have nothing to say. you might wanna go deep next time," doesn't hurt as much as "stop. i don't wanna listen anymore. this is crap," which made some of the seniors cry during their presentation last year.
and according to the seniors, by the end of the year we'll get used to staying overnight drawing plans without sleeping for a few days. and without even bathing.
i prefer not to imagine the latter.
yep. but i think my schedule is somewhat "normal". to think that some are working twice or trice a week as part-timers, and supermen/superwomen taking the 3rd year classes on Monday mornings, so that they "can be more relaxed in 3rd year".... that is if they pass the subjects, of course. unfortunately i'm not built that way and i don't think i wanna attend anything other than the recommended classes for year-2. might consider dropping one or two not-so important subjects if the drawing classes are too demanding.
just hope that i don't lose myself along the way. =p
