magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

my crit was in the first block after lunch. i just got more and more nervous all day. remembering last semester's final crit. not feeling all the confident about my project. but, mike had gone earlier in the day, and had more or less completely started over in the last week, and had a good crit. and a lot of the critics were at our interim review, and my project has progressed since then.

and it went well. certainly not as bad as i was fearing. i found i had more interest in my project when i got up to explain it. sort of rekindled the magic that had drawn me to it originally. some of the same criticism that i had gotten before. some that i would have to give myself if i was being objective. and some useful thoughts about working, and about creating magical spaces.

and afterwards molly and kate, who had been sitting in 'cause their crit's on thursday, both said that they really liked the project and thought that it went well. so i guess that's good.

didn't have my paper for opera, of course. shooting for friday.

and then couldn't get myself to leave the beb after class. i'm totally exhausted, but it feels weird that my first year of architecture studios is over, and i'm not exactly sure how to deal with that.
