The First Day of School

So, school started today. We lead off with environmental control systems, which is basically all about how to suit a building to its environment this quarter. Interesting enough, though I'm sure in two weeks it will be five of us in there (and it's a required class for all second-year students). Then structural systems for architects, ie more engineering. A longish break, then studio. Then I was done for the day and went to the beach with Rosie, because what good is it to have the dog for a visit if you don't go to the beach?

This is the view from the new studio. It's called "Skylab," and it's nestled among a bunch of third-year studios. I like the teacher a lot because he seems to have a good sense of play and doesn't filter his opinions. I need that kind of feedback.

Studio view

Somebody named Charlie posted these all over the halls where the architecture studios are. I wanted to write, "Wanting a break means she doesn't love you and is too chicken to tell you so" on them, but maybe that's a lesson we want the kids to learn for themselves.

Love letter

When I came home, the girls in the front apartment had bought a lawnmower and weed whacker and did a bunch of tidying of the lawn. I pay too much rent to do landscaping for the landlady for free, and also MY lease says landscaping is provided. But apparently theirs doesn't.

Back yard

It was very windy at the beach.

Wind in ears

We chased some new small birds that were lots of fun (they didn't fly right off).
