"Hi I'm Tom!"

    If you've watched "50 first dates" you know what character Im really talking about. Meet 10 second Tom. Literally forgets you in ten seconds. So even if you said something meaningful and loving he'd forget it in ten seconds. Kind of like men. And if your a woman in the ENVD program this doesn't pertain to you. This post is completely directed to the male population who is studying architecture (or any man really, because you're all the same). I know you're lives are hectict and crazed with mounds of homework and projects that are Titus, however if you have a girlfriend I have a message for you. Do you know what we go through? We bend over IN HALF for you! We're patient (sometimes), kind (most the time) and hell, we even go out of our way to try to "understand" your super confusing models. You would think that after all is said and done the LEAST you could do is the basic God given tools you learned from day one. Elaborate you say? With pleasure! 1. Remember you're A,B,C's? The ones you learned in oh I don't know kindergarten? USE THEM! That means if plans change, COMMUNICATE THAT. I forgot though. You're verrryy busy (Playing soccer when you said you would be doing homework all day). 2. Woman are simple human beings! Men it's the little things. I know you don't have time for fancy dinners, extravagant thought out dates, and apparently nice texts (who knew). But leave a half a sentance for us to find on the back of any piece of paper, just simply saying "I love you" occasionally and we will be set for life..(maybe). And lastly, don't try to be apologetic when were you REALLY sorry you "forgot" to mention you couldn't pick me up? Because "homework" (soccer) was so time consuming you literally forgot? Not only will it completely piss us off, You've now earned yourself one venting session to my mom from me when I'm really mad at you and your points in her book, go down. God bless if my dad accidentally hears. So there you have it. I guess all in all you just have to remember one thing. Use your words. Otherwise you'll be written about in a blog for the whole world to read. And you think being forgotten is embarrassing? Try being remembered for being a monkey. You're all monkeys. And now you're a monkey who owes me a yhat. With the movie "50 first dates" always playing to remind you of how "forgetful" you just are. 

Outer "space"

space

spās/

Noun

1.   A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied 

 Well now that you know the exact definition of space is, let me enlighten you. 

      Even when they spend 5 out of the 7 days a week doing homework, and then sometimes even the full 7 days, they still need more time for homework. And when that's not enough they demand space. Welcome to second semester hell. Ah, the new and exciting toys of the architect world: laser beams, a program named "rhino" and alas the new treacherous hours of staring at a bright screen you call you're computer. If you ask me (and you never should) this whole major keeps getting more and more obnoxious. No more sitting in studio into the wee hours of morning to cut cardboard and chipboard, no. Now it's laser beams and endless clicking to micro manage your design on a computer. The professors really fixate on how long you will last before your carpal tunnel kicks in or your vision goes, perhaps they have placed bets. Whatever the case, it's now graduated to space as well as time. These greedy little time suckers and space mutants take, take, take and never return. I suppose the demand for a house in the Virgin Islands is in order. Stay strong my girlfriends, boyfriends, and space cadets. It will get worse before it gets better. 

Over and out.
