So since about tuesday of last week, when I made my last blog post, I have been essentially trapped in the studio. So I've been feeling very much like I'm back in Boston. But after the whole weekend and the weekend I produced 11 slides for presentation and 2 models. Feeling accomplished I went into the critique confidently. Even though my teacher didn't email me back until the night before the critique about a question I had. So finally Valentine's Day rolls around and I'm ready to present then head home for a romanic Skype date with the beautiful Erica. Well things don't really go as planned. The whole time I'm presenting my professor is scowling at me and she comments that we talked about things that they were critiquing. But that's fine she can scowl because I plan on showing her up. The best part of the day was I got to be the slide guy for everyones presentation. I clicked through all the presentations like a champ. But after 25 people and 8 hours I finally made it home to have my date. Unfortunately Stonybrook had to interrupt but its alright when miss Erica is a successful nurse I'll have someone to take care of me.
So there was an optional trip this morning that turned out to be not so optional. After everyone except for a few of us partied their faces off last night couldn't make it due to hangovers. The "optional" trip was to a crematorium just outside of Berlin. It was a really cool building and the partner of the firm that designed it gave us a guided walk around inside the building. We walked all through the mourning rooms but weren't allowed to go down into the actual crematorium section. But it was an interesting building because a crematorium is a touchy building typology to build in Germany…. they have a reputation. The building deals a lot with the feeling of loss and light and rebirth. But this build was pretty awesome so I'm happy we went. I took plenty of pictures too.
