O.S.I.M

its the dreaded monday again.i didn't suffer from monday blues nor believe in it at first. initially i thought it was just some slang/phrase that people hang on thier mouth and take it as an excuse to complain and slack at work, or maybe to look/feel good that they actually had a really good weekend that cause them to suffer so. boy, i was wrong.

i don't want to sound cliche, but studying architecture did give me a few oppurtunities that i've never experinced before, and one of it is suffering from monday blues. haha. okok, u can laugh at me. imagine weekends that are not even weekends? no fun, no party, but models and isometrics, or maybe research to do? and all of it to be hand in on monday? how do you not get depressed?

sometimes i can't seem to understand why studio classes are on monday and fridays. let me explain how the pattern will be like, starting from monday, we get assignments, so usually real work will be done on wednesday because tuesday is pack with classes till 7pm, and by thursday we'll will be working our ass off till friday, go to studio, hand in work, get new ones, start work on saturday( who works on friday nights?) quicken work pace by sunday, hand in on mondays, and the whole cycle repeats itself again...so usually we'll have one month for each project, the first 2 weeks will be quite ok, but the last 2 weeks will be soooooooo hectic it'll be soooo hard to breath, and you'd wish everything will end asap.

i'm not a quitter, but sometimes i feel like quitting this course. sometimes. it is a very fun course to take, but occasionally the workload is so crazy i lose the passion that i thought i had in the first place. imagine i'm talking about this although i'm just in my first year. what will happen in my 2nd, 3rd and the coming years? i dare not think about it now, but i hope it'll be filled with happiness, frenziness, craziness, and all the adjectives that can end with ness. a friend of mine even suggested that we get our livers scan after 5 years of architecture education.

so when my mind fails to give me any inspiration at all, i rely on my faithful ABC to give me all the freshness that i need. for the uninformed, ABC is actually shaved ice with at least 3 flavored syrups with red beans, cincau(grass jelly), sweet corn kernel, peanuts, and top with chocolate syrup with a dollop of ice cream.....does the explanation makes u salivate already? i swear it's the best dessert for a hot day, and the perfect cure for a broken heart/haywired mine/busy day/monday blues.

lately i've been chatting to some stranger too. he's not a total stranger, as in he knows me but i don't know him although we stay in the same residential college. am i that ignorant or what? *blush* so usually a chat on msn is boring for someone who i don't know, but for him it was a different thing, and funny too, plus it was a refreshing change to chat with someone totally new and not from my own circle of friends. i don't know how long this will last, but i'll be updating on this phenomena while i can. :)

how was your monday today? tell me, tell me!! lets compare and see who had the worst monday blues ever k?
