ha ha, well i'll take this as a personal compliment as i'm currently in my fifth year studying architecture, so i'll soon be "out there" doing my thing.
i found this article hilarious because it's SO true, i love how people who are not in the know perceive architecture and architects. glass dildos. :biggrin: it IS indeed quite a challenge sometimes and there are weeks when i barely get any sleep at all, but i think that also comes with being in college so... everyone can relate to it.
i study in what is basically a student town, and i have friends from a lot of departments - psychology, theology, philosophy, economy, cinema, engineering... i love having a diverse group of people to talk to, it's what tickles my conversation skills. before i left for my trip a week ago, i had a friend over who is studying theology and we talked for hours - until about 2 o clock at night - about everything and anything related to what he has worked on and studied this year. very clever guy. i am pretty much the kind of person who wants to absorb as much knowledge as he can but sadly i have a very bad memory, especially when it comes to history or other related subjects. even names of architects for instance! i hate that, truly. one of my biggest flaws.
i make up for it in communication skills and the ability to expand upon a subject starting from a "seed" of information in a mostly coherent way. i always get great feedback on my essays :biggrin:
a musician you say marshlander? i can honestly say i'd give up any kind of drawing, graphic or architectural skill for the ability to play an instrument, have a good voice and NOT be completely tone-deaf - i can appreciate quality but can not reproduce a melody if my life depended on it... a pain in the ass because i love music.
what exactly do you do / play - if it's not too indiscreet?
