A New Light

Ok, Im pretty sure i told everyone, or pretty much everyone (well if i didnt, im telling you now) I didnt get to sleep for around 48 hours (yes...two days) What was i doing at that time? working, working on i think project, which i really liked this time haha :)
Its a cartisan square. Basically i have 8 Quadrants, 4 have to be solid and 4 are void. I have to subtract from the solid and put it into the void while being asymmetric, balanced and dynamic. So basically make it pretty...like art. lol Well I did. And i do think this turned out very well. Basically imagined a dam

breaking, the water bursting through. But instead

of cracks and shards of stone falling down, i made them cubes, so yes instead of rocks breaking into pointy rocks, i thought "Hey! rocks would be better if they were nice cubes" (no pointy stuff to cut you:) So i created as i imagined. And i think my prof. liked it, you can never tell....especially with something like this. But things went pretty well....i hope ><

Now I got this new project...which i think is going to require the same amount of work...probably more...Its getting harder and harder every new project. I cry. I live in Studio, which i really like...but there is LIFE OUTSIDE OF STUDIO! which is what my RA told me (hes in architecture too)

Well I went to NY today(trying to find life outside of studio). Met Chris, James, and Chihiro. I had the BEST PIZZA EVER, (Johns pizza) containing mushrooms, onions, and olives. There were 8 slices, only three of us (chihiro wasnt with us currently) So we counted to three and stuck up one finger or two. The person that doesnt have the same number finger can get the big slice. I won, naturally since I AM amazing, but i offered it to the less fortunate so i let chris and james fight over it (Chris won) and i took a smaller slice. After Pizza, we went to YOGURT LAND, which lets you pick what flavor you want and every ounce was 39 cents. I got mango, taro, banana, and blueberry. They were really good except for blueberry, just a little too blueberry flavored. But the taro was amazing, blew my mind. Then Chihiro finally showed up, we went to a book store (STRAND) and I got me The Zombie Survival Guide, (lol) and then we went to Starbucks and sat in Au Bon Pain and we talked about life, politics, business and love..( ok..we really didnt talk about love or business) But I really enjoyed myself. and hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves as well...

lol

Im pretty sure ill update more every week instead of waiting until someone comments...lol

For living in a studio, alot of things happen to me and everyone else lol

Eh...

Ok its 5:21 am......what am I doing up so late? (or early) Well...im working...working on this model which i screwed up...How did I screw it up? I really hate my design...an its too late for me to redo it..So I'm sitting here....just not wanting to do this thing i created....The reason its not visually pleasing is probably because I'm totally left brained ( left handed too) and for some reason all i can think about is functionality instead of making something that makes people go "oooo pretty" So right now if my model (which is all just boxes stacked on top of each other) were to become a house....I would pretty much tell you what the insides look like. Ok like my design for my box model were the stacking stones, which are like flat stones, stacked on top of each other , usually seen in mountains and such. I dont think my idea was represented so well in my project...yeah...i really think it sucks...hope my profs. dont get in my face and say something mean.....(i just might cry)

Well i wouldnt be up this late if my parents took me back earlier....but they had some gathering meeting thing at my house and it just took up alot of time....i was back at like 10:30 pm....by then everyone else was done with everything....so im sitting here alone...

But on the other hand, two days ago..on Saturday i went to Gethsemane which is a gathering of all these schools around nyc and some from nj. Its called KCCC (korean campus crusade for Christ) but you dont have to be Korean..O.o go figure. lol Well it was first started by a white guy which then helped a Korean guy set it up in korea, which was then brought back here. And thats why theres Korean stuck in the front, but theres alot of white people there too..i met the male model guy o.o pretty hot stuff lol. And Philippines too! Good stuff. Basically its Church service x10, not in lenght but in EXCITEMENT! lol Then after everyone went to go eat chicken and rice...all like 400 of us...lol, the longest line EVER! And the happiest....middle easterners ever. lol

Hmmm....sick too.....hope it doesnt get worse........

X.X

Starting up

Uhh....So this is my first blog post..not my first blog, I had xanga, which is still good but i think ill stop that now since im starting this one. If anyone is curious as to what it was its, www.xanga.com/magisterjosh . My Romanian friend Alex made it for me since my old one just somehow deleted itself...Magister means teacher.....ha ha

Well life of an Architect student is pretty fun, if you enjoy alot of work and being social. But slowly im starting to feel the strain on my body, as i physically get more tired and weaker ( haven't worked out in FOREVER, needs to hit the gym :( ) and the mental power (not like a psychic ) that I just pour out everyday is just and endurance trial, which soon my brains going to give out on. Haha, but do not worry!! Josh is much tougher than anyone thinks! Even though its tough and I'm probably going to end up sleeping in the studio, I'm really enjoying what I'm doing, and the rest goes for all of you out there! Enjoy what you do, or else.....life sucks. :D

Wow...right now something exciting just happened. This girl just broke her knee...playing soccer(outside of course) Supposedly she already had a bad knee, from playing soccer....lol with a bunch of guys. The worst part about it is that her birthday is tomorrow, so at 12 am in the hospital, shes going to sign herself out with her new found ability as an adult. She was of course warned by her friends not to go but she refused, for her passion for soccer is unquenchable!....

Well anyway back to the regular stuff. So, basically I'm still in New Jersey, Newark to be more precise. I'm so close to home its...kinda weird... but I'm really glad because...i need Korean food...(born and raised on it) After a week of college, my mouth was watering for a piece of kimchi. I miss Kimchi so much, i was actually thinking about naming this blog Kimchi.....ha ha. But i chose this name because, i am an architect! and i will design, talk about design and talk about how i see the design of things in this world...maybe try to relate it to my life or something like that. ha ha.

So for my first post ill talk about the hurricane ravaging the southern part of the United States. Hurricane IKE, i believe it was called, left many homeless and missing. Many probably (regretfully) perished at the hands of this storm but thankfully, the hurricane brought very warm weather up here in NJ, allowing many to enjoy the beaches...Weird isn't it? That on one part of the country, a disaster of epic proportions occurs and the changes that happen to the rest of the world is just very pleasant and nice? I least...i think what I'm saying is right. I kinda planned to write about this at the beginning of the week when i heard this..somewhere...but i kinda forgot ... :(
