Still Alive

Posted on November 1, 2011 by Turego

Wow, it’s been a while! Sitting in a meeting that is basically telling me what I’ve already done in creating a WordPress blog site… but it’s good to review. Also to remember that I already have a website I could be working on… sometime… when I am not doing a million projects. Or between…

I’ve recently discovered MineCraft… Which is amazing and disastrous for architecture students: amazing in exploring creative potential, disastrous in that hours go by like minutes…

This site needs some optimizing though. I think I’ll be moving the blog over to the blog section and reconfiguring the front page. Always good to put your best face forward! See you after the update!

My Day Off

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Turego

Five minutes spent pondering a strange dream, stopping an alarm, and sending up a prayer for the new day. 20 minute shower, 10 minute morning prep before heading to get breakfast and a 10 minute walk to studio. 5 minutes too long in prep. Pick up the pace! Hurry to breakfast. Eat in studio, work on Project 4… Construction class begins. Switch gears to building frame project. Check the time. Run to Leadership class. Journal is missing. Claim a new zero for journal check. Write reflectively. Class is over, finish later. Get to chapel. It’s in another building! Hurry and get a seat! Swipe in. Fight through the crowd. Listen sleepily at the guest speaker. Somewhat interested towards the end. It’s over. Fight the crowd, get swiped out, run across campus to studio. Wish I could visit with a friend on the way. Send her an encouraging text. Arrive at studio. Project 4 isn’t gonna finish itself! Due 2:00. 30 minutes left. 10 minutes left. 4 minutes left. Professors come in, then leave oddly. Oh well, keep workin! 30 after. Getting worried, but finished. Announcement that professors are busy a little longer. Work more anyway! Can’t hurt to make it look better! Pin up time. No critique? Oh… Professor miscommunication means we all went ahead of ourselves and have to start over. Hours of lecture on what to do. Get back to work! No motivation. Energy drained. Class over. Get dinner. Pick up things at studio and walk home to Burman. Worship soon? Talk to Assistant Dean. Not until 7:30, so study for test tomorrow! Get with Cassie to start meeting. No one shows and speaker is late. Interesting and awkward activity for 3. Go back to studying and prepping laptop for reboot (Windows… groan). Studying and loading drivers. Milkshakes in lobby? Okay! Take one to buddy upstairs; he could probably use it. Back to work! Interrupted with a room checkout and checkin. Back to PC! Drivers not loading properly! Catch up with roommate. It’s past 10, go upstairs and wind down. Finish loading last things to external hard-drive. Write about day? Sounds like a commotion in the hallway! Back up other RA settling the issue. Go back to write some more. Drivers still loading. Find lost journal accidentally at 11:30 pm. Midnight. Files finally done loading: reboot ready. Get called downstairs to check on yesterday’s night check. Night scanner errors… Again… Verify names. North Korea story? Hmmm… Back to PC! So tired… Reboot time! Get back upstairs. Set reboot. 12:16… I should be sleeping… It’s my day off…

Seeing with New Eyes

Posted on July 22, 2011 by Turego

Ever since I started the “Personal Media Control” I’ve noticed more about myself and how media affects me. Time seemed to slow down a bit. I comprehended my tasks more readily and generally communicate better. Also sleep quality has improved slightly. Started to take a break from Media Control, now but it’s definitely worth it!
