Architecture Stress Thread

OP

Wow my body just seized momentarily. caffeine nicatine and pain killers make for the perfect architects lunch.

^ ouch. Get a sandwich from a nearby cafe or something, even if it costs 10 mins!
I always have to eat reasonably properly even if it is a stupid o'clock...

My project is so frustrating, it just hasn't clicked yet, I feel like I'm completely wasting my time at the moment.. blah.

I'm upset, my class mate took my drawer and locker in the studio because he said he thought i wasn't coming back to university anymore.

this course has ruined my life.

yes the riba book shop should be open, failing that, there is always the AA and waterstone off UCL.

Hi.... does any other architecture student just feel so stuck at sometimes that they have absolute minus motivation to do work (I say minus because even with no motivation you just have to do it..), because of other troubles and problems that are majorly taking over your life? Hm. I've found it easy to just "get on with it" as in work wise cause no matter what, it has to be done and there's much much so you can't really end up sitting here crying about something else, and if you do you end up crying about the work aswell lol., but coming across this life problem has really got me. :s-smilie:

Anyone?

All the time, that's why I emerged back on TSR. Procrastination stations all the time... coffee doesn't work, pills don't work, cigarette's don't work, diet/excecise - don't work.. Architecture basically puts you in this use fog of mental anxiety and it's very difficult to see through it....

Ah I don't know, I'm just seriously lacking the driving factor/motivation/inspiration for this project. The thing that gets you excited and obsessed and makes you DO STUFF. I was hoping Barcelona would do the trick but it's just done the opposite. My whole year seems to be feeling similarily stuck, it's very frustrating. I've actually resorted to learning 3DS instead, at least I'm doing something vaguely useful rather than just staring at a piece of paper.

How's the school?

How's it going? Well, it's not. Pen went to paper about 2 hours ago and not much got done. Tim Barton wants us to design an individual classroom around what happens within or some crap like that. We're not allowed squares or similar apparently, and I'm not designing obscure or star shaped rooms for the hell of it...

We'll have to see what he says on Thursday. Otherwise I think it has potential... just not realised YET...

UGH i have just wasted the entire day building a frame on revit (which I can't use properly so I've probably done everything in a really long-winded way and have only just noticed I've got the dimensions wrong. May aswell start again. GRRR.

UGH I'm so stressed right now. I've inevitably ended up with the majority of the work for this stupid group project, and I've been struggling all day on the hardest section I've ever done and nobody could be bothered making an effort to help me. FFS you don't need three people working on a model, two of which are sitting around doing nothing and refusing to help with any of the drawings. Finally back from the studios and now I have to do a communications drawing exercise, model 6 buildings for another project and do three entries for my blog :eek3:
