i have a ton of work to do for both studio and my thesis. it's overwhelming. and it's not like i have a bunch of free time to get everything done. to quote greengecko, "i can rather pick and choose", can't i?

i've been learning so much for my thesis project - it's been great, i've been like a sponge since saturday for this stuff, and meeting with prof. rogers today was immensely helpful - but i just cannot absorb this stuff fast enough. i have to have a site and program picked out by wednesday.
"if i could get a grip on reality, i'd choke it."

christian was talking about bad german drinking songs today in studio. mostly because both of us are studying german buildings for our precedent research (due monday) and i've been reading a lot of german the past few days.
the site visit today was very sweaty. actually, all of today was very sweaty. i had karate again this morning, but more vigorously, considering it's the second day and we're getting more serious about it now. but the site visit was much worse - prolonged and unrelieved exposure. yech. i feel all grimy, and i'm supposed to leave in about.... eight minutes to babysit michelle's kids for the night. no time for a shower.
overall, though, the week has been good. (i'm still freaking out about the thesis. but quietly. quietly freaking out.) all my classes are interesting so far, and all my non-studio classes have also been very easy, which is just what i wanted. hooray! i may actually have some free time this sunday to work on the quilt! it's a miracle!
other than that.... not much to say.
four minutes. gotta go. tata!
