You Know You’re An Architecture Student When…

12Apr07

It’s funny because it’s true. Excerpts:

The alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep.

You’re not ashamed of drooling in class anymore, especially during Structures lectures

You know what Superglue tastes like.

You celebrate space and observe your birthday

Coffee and Red Bull are tools, not treats.

You’ve slept more than 20 hours non-stop in a single weekend.

You fight with inanimate objects.

You’ve listened to all your CDs in less than 48 hours.

You’re not seen in public.

You’ve used an entire role of film to photograph the footpath.

You take notes and leve messages with a rapidograph and colour markers. (Or in my case, color Staedler Tri-Liners) 

You see holidays only as extra sleeping time.

You’ve got more photographs of buildings than of actual people.

You can use Photoshop, Illustrator and make a web page, but you don’t know how to use Excel.

You refer to great architects (dead or alive) by their first name as if you knew them (Frank, Corbu, Mies, Norman).

You buy 50 dollars worth of magazines that you haven’t read yet. (Ouch.)
