These are random moments in the life of an indecent designer and the city she loves.

I am a female, carbon based lifeform.
I am a New York City Native.
I am a Design Professional.
I take photographs.
I also sculpt, paint, create mosaics, and play with weapons.
And sometimes, I even dance about Architecture.
What I see, is what you get.

A++. I have no idea how I did this.
bronxelf says:
Thanks. I have a LOT of work to do this week, but if I can pull it off I will be all right, mostly.
bronxelf says:
Thanks, I have to actually *read* the notes... And get my last set back from Eric, who was reviewing them.
ElphsHouse says:
congrats. as to how you did it? my guess would be hard work and determination. I don't know you, but i've read back a bit, and you don't come off as someone who just gets by by the seat of her pants, you know?
and yes, that was a compliment. : )
bronxelf says:
Thanks. Honestly though Im not sure *WHY* this assignment got that grade, save Im the only person in the class who actually understood the assignment.
Lyzardly says:
No stress - I haven't had *any* time since August.
Quitting the job will help this and I will be available at all the bizarre hours you keep beginning next week. :)
Gael says:
I figure it's the hard work, too!
I am staggered that students in my classes are turning up who haven't even read the starred texts, never mind the additional material - or - God forbid, dared to do any "original" thinking.
bronxelf says:
Really though, you ever get the feeling that by comparison, if *this* got that grade then WOW how much does everything else suck? Yeah like that-- cause I did this assignment in about 3 hours, at the very last minute, whilst talking to about 3 people online.
Gael says:
The best bit is, that living off campus I don't give a toss if the others think I'm a brown-nose, if I have something to say I'm bloody well going to say it - and if that means contradicting the "set" point of view, well tough.
bronxelf says:
The students have never much cared for me, except a few notable exceptions. The faculty love me cause I can't be bothered with whining bullshit. I get in, I do my thing, and I get out. The end.
Gael says:
That's pretty much what Geodyne said I'd experience, too.
Only, I haven't had to submit any proper essays yet, so I might be in for a nasty shock at the end of term ...
bronxelf says:
Doubt it. Youd be amazed at how much simpler and yet more difficult it is. The *work* is simpler-- finding the time to *do* the work is harder.

Hi elf,
xxx
How are you today ?
Please have the relaxation time sometimes.
Please take care of yourself.
?
Dhamaka says:
Brilliant, and I think you're doing yourself down. It's not just the *writing* time, it's the time you think about stuff, your level of prep. general understanding, context and the way you structure your thoughts
bronxelf says:
well I have to pull it off again in a big way next week. :/ Ugh. I just want this to be over with.
