So it's slowly coming to the end of my second year of university and the blog will eventually witness a flood of my work for the year. Not much had changed from the gentle progression from the first to the second year but the levels and detail of work increases hugely and more is expected from us poor students. Even working all day and through the night for the crit the next day, nothing is ever right. We think it is, but were always wrong and the tutor is always right! Even though all my studies have been entirely self taught with either a praise or a bollocking every Monday on crit day I feel I have slowly picked up valuble lessons that I will be taking onto my final year.

Ive recently started to read a book called 'Architecture Depends' and found a great section which describes the life of an architecture student and the days we capture. I'll list a few of my favourite quotes from the book.

• ...the alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep
• ...you know what UHU tastes like
• ...you think it's possible to CREATE space
• ...you've discovered the benefits of very short hair
  
• ...you always carry deodrant
• ...you take notes and messages with a rapidograph and colour markers
• ... you've got more pictures of buildings than people
• ...when someone offers you a bic pen you feel offended

and my personal favourite

• ... you can live without human contact, food or daylight, but if you cant print
  it's chaos!
