the room's finished. and it looks pretty friggin' sweet. next up? the exterior of the house! except, let's leave this one up to the professionals, yea? ;)
how the hell is it august already? the buda scl tournament is this weekend, and i fly out the weekend after that back to pittsburgh. boo that.
in some ways, i guess this summer has been as productive as it could've been seeing as the whole job/internship-search dealio fell through. multiple times. but seriously. after having so many summers not quite go as planned, i was hoping this one would be different. i was hoping this one would actually be good. with minimal hiccups. not so much. everything just could've/should've...gone better.
i guess i got to go to a couple more tournaments this summer, with the comedy of errors, wildwood and the buda tourney. and i guess in lieu of a job i spent the summer stripping, cleaning and painting a bedroom. and i guess i got in more hanging out with other people than i normally would have back in hk. and i guess i got to spend it in boston like i had originally wanted. but other than all the stuff before summer in boston actually "started", going to watch nationals and visiting jess in london, nothing really went as planned. it became a summer that i just had to wing as i went along. the first summer that i decide to plan all for myself on my own just didn't turn out to be quite as satisfying as i had hoped.
and now i have to start preparing myself for another year back at cmu that i am certainly not ready for. fourth year of architecture school. one year closer to the real world. new studio space in cfa. my class schedule looks pretty good and chill. though something tells me that newly opened space in my timetable will soon be replaced with even more studio time. just a hunch. it's going to be life back at cmu, but missing a couple of key players. and adding a couple more responsibilities. things are going to be just that little bit emptier. and to compensate i'm probably going to get just that little bit busier. to kill time. to take my mind of things. i'm worried, afraid and nervous for how things could turn out. hopefulness has never been my forte. i'm more a worst-case-scenario kind of person. not that i'm boasting about it. just saying. no one is really proud of that surge of trepidation at the thought of the prospects of the near future, but it doesn't stop it from happening no matter how fleeting that feeling is.
pittsburgh. it's fine as a college town. but i'm pretty sure i'm going to have had more than my fill of it by the time spring 2011 rolls around.
