    You know you're an architecture student when...

    My seniors gave this 'guide to architecture' when we went to our freshmen camp a few months back. It was a guide to help us during the next 4 or 5 years in the course; it had stuff like where we can buy model materials, modules to bid, 24-hour makan places (eateries) and other archi-related stuff. It ended with a tongue-in-cheek, "You know you're an Architecture Student when..."

    I thought it was a joke but its true....

    You know you're an architecture student when:
    • Your concept of time is not forward, but a countdown from when the project is due (what time is it? 4 hours till...)
    • You slice your finger and the first thing you think of is if you'll be able to finish your model (in my case, I was yelling for satay sticks instead of the plaster)
    • You say, "It's only midnight- I have plenty of time to finish."
    • You confuse today and tomorrow.
    • You carry a toothbrush in your backpack . (I borrow toothpaste from my friends)
    • You confuse sunrise with sunset.
    • the alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep. (so true!)
    • You know what UHU taste like. (and white glue... NEVER super glue)
    • Breakfast is your 5th meal of the day.
    • You hear, "Didn't you wear that yesterday?" followed by, "and the day before that?" (I try to change my tee at least; can't say the same for some studiomates...)
    • You understand what 4B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H and 4H means and have lots of each type.
    • YOU ALWAYS WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
    • You put a scale under everything you draw so that people know how big it is.
    • You start replacing pictures of your friends and family with pictures of buildings.
    • The biggest decision you have to make near the end of the term is, "autocad, viz, pencil or ink?" (we haven't reach that stage... yet...)
    • Watching the sunrise means you haven't gone to bed yet.
    • You never have enough wall space to pin things up.
    • You no longer leave the studio to sleep, you just crash on the table...
    • You always have a supply of portable and non perishable food (I have cup noodles...)
    • Midnight is considered early evening (yup...)
    • Push pins become a valuable commodity.
    • You draw perspective of your friends room on your BU homework just for the fun of it.
    Argh... its so true... No joke.
