thanks for the compliments guys- both on the house and truck

as for school- its a ton of work- i thought i'd just drop out and work at taco bell- they're hiring you know- starting wage $9.25- can't beat that!

NO- hell no- its more work than I could have imagined- i made it through undergrad architecture, which is a highly competitive test every last nerve, keep your tact while you get ripped up one way and down the other by the jury, see how long you can function without real food, and sleep, how deep & long an exacto blade wound has to be before you need stitches- But grad school in architecture- man- i've got 5 weeks before my preliminary defense- i meet with my thesis board twice a week to review my progress/project and you've got to make significant progress by each meeting or they say, eh, we'll see you next week, good bye.
woodshop 101- my final elective in school, ever- keeps me sane, and gives me a place to let out my frustrations with the project and my advisors
but all in all they wont admit it, but i've got a project that can be built- which 95% of the thesis students don't do- most projects are only unrealistic theoretical explorations- so they're happy inside i just know it but their countless years in architectural education has made them impervious to agreement with students-- who believe it or not, may be pretty intelligent.
