It's that time of the quarter again and I've been deeply buried in model building and drafting. I got a bit ahead yesterday, finishing a model I meant to finish today, but that turned out to be a good thing because I spent half of today asleep. Ah, sleep debt. I'm not going to be able to do that again for another week.
This evening I just finished my research paper for construction law (managing risk in design-build contracts) and am now beginning my engineering homework. My last ever engineering homework. Hah. Amazing how good it feels to be finishing the engineering sequence. Almost as good as it felt to finish the history sequence.
Next week, last week of classes, I finish my models, finish my research project for housing, print all those drawings I finished (but came up with a modification for yesterday), do some renderings (I'm planning to do them based on the models), do some drawings (I have them on the boards and just need to finish the shading), then breathe deeply and relax and prepare for my final crit on Friday. I've actually scheduled it out and can afford to slip schedule by an entire day without a problem, and that's not likely to happen, on account of how far ahead I got yesterday. Calm and relaxed.
Wednesday morning, the San Francisco interns are meeting to do a planning session. Wednesday is usually my sleep-until-noon day, because I don't have class until one, but I guess it will give me some motivation to work on project stuff if I have to get on campus for a morning meeting. After that I might as well go up to the studio and work all day.
Anyway, if you don't hear much from me this week it's because of that, although I do have some plans to post photos of the model and so forth.
Oh, and also, check out this piece on house blogs in the New York Times magazine. I do kind of wish some of my self-deprecating humour had come out in the writeup, but you can't have everything, so I guess I get to be the Austenian heroine instead, which isn't bad. The site is kind of getting something like a hundred times the normal traffic right now, which is only slightly intimidating.
