i have been asked a few times...or more than a few times what i am doing this summer. I always wanted to tell them...NOTHING.
if i actually tell them what i am going to do ...it does sounds like ...NOTHING. i am not taking classes in ISU, not working (are you serious!?!?!?!?), no internship either (life suckssssss). but this summer, i have a big mission.
My mission is to figure out...what to do with my life. (well..that sounds...really big) I am going to take time doing what i really like doing, and actually spend time doing it. Painting. Singing. Yoga. Travel. Reading. and maybe even dancing (oh my top secret)...I want to bring things to influence me as a designer, things that will inform my architecture. and archtiecture itself will not do. And at the same time...this is to ENRICH mylife.
The other day. there pop out an idea of filming myself doing yoga. take stills from the films. so i am looking at both the flow of the movement, and the form created by my body at a certain moment. and i want to paint it...or make some models of it. blue phoam models..or copy samamtha's exercise 1 year ago ( yes, the one that i did not do) Life turns around. sometimes it's good to a few things that you dont actulally know why you are doing them. Carry them in your backpack. but because you have done it, one day they will start making sense. and by the time it made sense to you, it had already made who you are. ( excuse my broken english...this is really bad grammar)....
and this time...it's not really that i dont know why i do it...i kinda knows, but just not sure what is it leading towards...well...i might as well right this down, so that i dont forget later...now i am interested in looking at body, and how body creates forms...and becomes art. we will see how that goes.
so..i am writing down what i am doing this summer....as a todo list.
GRE. nail it at the end of June.
portfolio...make it better, put some toys in it, fix NYC project, put solar home in it. (that's a looot project)
Painting....
Yoga classes every day.
Ames choir every Monday
Reading...starting from..."intentions in architecture"..."Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees"..and of course..BIBLE
Travel to the west coast. BY MYSELF.and yes, this is gonna drive me crazy for sure. and i really hope that i am coming back safe and sound and in one piece. details havent been working on yet. but i know i am flying over...and take the train...44 hours to get back. and you guys! if you dont see me back to school...i must died. unless...something else happened. ahhh i am talking nonsense again.
oh well.
peace out.
"rise and shine!" =P
