35) You've received the same email ^^ at least 20 times from different people . :)

36) You've eaten coffee powder, at some point, as if it was a normal thing !!

37) Your daily pile of tracings and papers stands higher than your monthly home newspaper pile.

ha ha.. i got this too..

37) ... when you keep staring at your empty tracing paper for hours together during studio hours and call it conceptualization,

38) ... when you draw a line after a few hours and talk arch. theories of the highest calibre...

39)

hehehe chameleon..spot on...

39) when all the beautiful girls in the world study anywhere but in your college

40) You suddenly get intrested in Pink Floyd, and figure out all the hidden messges behind the music.

41) You believe that, one has to be high to do (40)^^

LOLOLOL.


42) Every third guy in your college wants to be the next F.L.W or Le corbusier (from 1st to third year )

and Frank Gehry or Peter Eisenman or Rem Koolhaas ( from 4th year till final year )

43) ... when you stare (as if you are deeply wounded) at someone who pronounces 'le corbusier' as lee corbusier

LOL !! @ 43 !! ..

so damn true ... guilty as charged !!

44) Everytime you get hold of a brick, you try to determine if its a first, second or third class brick.

45) In the event of sighting an exposed brick construction.. your first instinct is to determine what kind of bond it follows. ( and inevitably you decide that english bond would have been best !!)

Rolling on the floor with laughter @ no 43, 44 and 45,

You've entered the door code for the studio building as your atm PIN.

46) ... you had no idea how poor the pay was until you get your first job offer

46 is so true

47) ...your parents idea of a dream home is your idea of a nightmare of a home

48)...you've explained the process of becoming a licensed architect to people 100 times because nobody but us has any clue that we require a 5 year degree or masters + 3 years interning + ARE

momentum: 47 -> YES.

48) you start to believe you can do everything better than everyone around you, just because you can think 'architecturally'.

Looking down on everyone around you is pretty horrible; i hope there aren't very many who are like that

49) You think of yourself as the most creative person ever born and then post new topics asking where people buy their "architectural" looking glasses.

50) Your significant other has set a "No archi-speak" rule and asks that you not refer to architects as a different race/species.

51) every 3rd person around you is dressed in a black sweatshirt or turtleneck

52) a sexy model is something which is well cut,well pasted and to a convenient scale (and preferably lightweight and compact)

51) Your parents nod politely when you show them a model you've made, and say 'thats good darling... what is it?'

52) You are deeply offended when you find out that your parents didn't hire an architect, but a civil engineer, to design your home.

53) You invariably find design mistakes in your house, which you argue, an architect would have never made!!!

53. You are wearing a jump drive around your neck.

Also,
55) You can really relate to this post.

56)you actually think virtual archinecters are physical friends of yours.

57)you spend more time posting here than talking to your girlfriend

58) .. you don't go on vacations, you go to cities to see new buildings conmpleted there in the past however-many years

59: ..you ask : Girlfriend ??..what's that ?

60. You drive to studio (5, 10 30 minutes) and you don't remember one thing about the trip or how you got there.

61. Every acquaitance from back home, upon learning that you are an architecture student, asks you to build their house for them... as long as it is a "traditional" looking one like all the other ones in the subdivision where they already live

jesus, sorry about that. i have no idea how that happened.

FrankLloydMike ... you're a quadruple threat ... i think that's a record

62...you have erotic dreams about materials.

during my last semester of undergrad, i was making a massive model out of cardboard and i dreamt that a stack of corrugated cardboard was giving me oral sex...oh my, what a delightful fantasy...sigh

63...the EPA would shit if they know how toxic your models were - hmmm, bondo, fiberglass, resin, acetone, and i am sure starring at the laser cutter for hours can't be good for me. i think the caffine and nicotine actually cleanse my system.

64. you know the janitors who come to clean the studio @ 2 am on a first name basis.

this is hilarious. i can relate to umm... all of these[?]

Good one, Cris.

65. You can tell when they hire new janitors. And it is fun to determine whether or not they'll last. Listening to them complain about your hall is fun.

66.... you know exactly which stalls in the bathroom to use because they are broken or dont lock... because you use that bathroom more than the one at your house

Ha ha imapala to add to that, you learn with time that "your" stall is not the one that gets a lot of use. At first this seems like the right thing to do. Following the main stream doesn't always pay. Especially when it comes to touching bums.

67. buying new socks and underwear instead of doing laundry.

68. ...you describe the haircut you would like your stylist to give you with phrases like "i don't like the way this cantilever's out so far", or "i had to cut the gum out with an x-acto."

69. ...places no regular person would want to habitate become the obvious choice for you to try to make them live while completing your thesis.

70. ...defending your choice of animal with: you can change the litter once a week, but not the carpet.
