OVERHEARD AT MENTOR CLASS

++ OVERHEARD AT MENTOR CLASS:

"once you decide you like a building, look for the inconsistencies and faults, analyze it and critique it, then decide if you still really like it." (i think this goes for anything. not just buildings and architecture.)

"this is called the sixteenth chapel meets crack." (taken out of context and yet still funny.) ++

BRIDGE BREAK 2004

++ BRIDGE BREAK 2004 post game wrap-up and analysis.

the 'senior' class of 2004. (2nd year graduates)

SNL or maybe i should call it by its full name, studio night live was a success. thematically, not as strong as years past, not by a long shot. the set, while impressive and looking incredible was possibly not as strong as years past, but that can be blamed on the lack of a strong theme. where this bridge break excelled and stands apart from previous years is the entertainment value and creativity of the commercials and skits. future years will have to step up to the gauntlet laid before them and top instant classics such as:

INSIDE THE ARCHITECTS STUDIO - nick interviews brad or should i say dennis and finds he is so scrumptulescentthat he can barely move.
TOM BIBLE MONOLOGUE - the fashion police of jason, emily, brad, tim, and chris helped tom with his onstage wardrobe helping to prove we all knew he was a uc engineering professor disguised as an architecture structures professor. its a good thing he had a prepared statment of which the senior class knew nothing of the costume malfunction, said knew nothing about it, and the faculty has known that the senior class has known nothing all year.
CHOOSE ADVENTURE - mark, rebecca, and jeanne show us jerry doesn't really have a set 'architecture program' as each class or each student for that matter will get to choose their own path towards graduation.go ahead, pick a page number and follow it, just be sure to remember that last page, in case you decide the career path you've chosen is the wrong one.
JC URBAN OUTFITTERS - shawn or shoul i say jesus visits the local urban outfitters store in clifton "and he told those who sold the pigeons, ' take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade.'"
REAL DAAP HEROES 'MR. PASTEL COLORED WALL PAINTER' - 'wherever a careless student roams, you will be right behind them with a drop-cloth and a fresh can of paint. don't worry, we don't you didn't spec the gypsum wallboard, *stupid architect*..'
COORS LIGHT - 'i love football on tv, shots of david-lee, hanging with my friends, and twins! i love burritos at 4am, parties the never end, dogs that love cats, and twins and i love you too!"
PROFESSOR IDENTITY THEFT - udo has been another victim of identity theft, this time from kathleen, an exchange student from potsdam. just goes to show those germans aren't as perfect as they thought they were.
PROFESSOR JEOPARDY - john (trebeck) hosts jeopardy with guest stars jason (tilman), brian (postel), and nick (nyland).
WITHOUT DAAP - jay and heather tell a chilling tale of what really hapens between the students of apx and aias at daap. 'without daap, this wouldn't be disgusting.'
BARRY STEDMAN PROJECT HUNTER - john (barry) chases down wild projects in their natural habitat proving that even australians have some sort of worth in the u.s. as well as extremely short shorts.
REAL DAAP HEROES 'MR. TACOMA NARROWS BRIDGE DESIGNER' - '..so crack open an ice cold one at the blast, because every good bridge designer deserves a break."
THE SIMPLE LIFE ARCHIETCTURE - heather (hilton) and heidi (ritchie) find being in the architecture program at uc is harder and messier than they thought it would be. they also find out that those pretzels they sell down in the daap cafe come with 'cheese'.
GUINNESS - mark and jason were 'brilliant'!
THE UC - aj storms into daap leaving san diego behind and commands respect and attention from four ladies of the 6th year architecture students. not to be missed.
DOMINOES - the first year architecture students along with the help of jesus showed off the beautiful building we have and the quality of the students uc 'brews'.
WEEkEND UPDATE - bendra gives us the current events, including why we are ranked number 1 in architecture, batman, and what exactly is ecoop. of which we still don't know.
THESIS FECES - matt shows that the weird noises he makes don't always come from his mouth and hank says 'hidee hoee' like he was born to say it.
REAL DAAP HEROES 'MR CGC PLOT MANAGER' - not known for their time management, they have garnered a spot among the hearts of the 6th years who know better than to bother them. instead we go anywhere else to plot.
THE ENDLESS WINTER - matt and ben find the solace of huge waves in the partly frozen burnett woods lake.
WWJD - jessie from saved by the bell reminds us of the dangers of drug use when trying to stay up late at night: cut back on the caffeine pills.
3RD CHAIR - john, gordon, and brent entertain osam as his thesis committee. john has never hesistated to 'resist any moment to distribute his load' while brent 'distributed his load once, with brown spicy mustard, and sweet pickle relish."
EMILY HATCH'S COMEDY HOUR - emily, never one to miss a joke, proves her comedic genius and unique taste in humor by both doing a stand-up routine and an audience member complete with cackling. who knew it was possible to cackle in various languages.
ARCHITECTURE KILLS - every class loses approximately half of their freshman class by the time they reach 6th year. its amazing how many you forget and how much you don't care. 'the more you know, the worse it gets: truth'.
STUDIO DARKNESS - john, terry, brian, adam, ben, matt, brad, and mark rock the house or rather daap 4400. ++

ASIAN STUDIES CERTIFICATE

++ I'VE BEEN TALKING to the director of asian studies here at uc, prof. not to be named. and he has led me to believe the past two years that i would be on track or could be on track to get a certificate in asian studies. this isn't an entry to deface or discredit him (although its turning out to be that) but he has been largely unhelpful and largely unaccomodating in helping me. i know i'm not one of his students who have asian studies as their major, but still he's a professor and a director, meaning he has an obligation to the students, to any student, right? i know professors have their own research and their own agendas and their own work, but the main reason why they are a professor is to what.. .. ..? teach students and help students and be a mentor to students and to direct students.. .. riiii-ght? you would think. i guess i'm just frustrated that he has not helped me at all and that i do not have enough credits to qualify for a certificate and after i submitted my application, he didn't even email me back to tell me that he had received it. so i emailed him today to verify he had received it and he more or less the only thing he told me was that he had received it, reviewed it, and i will not be receiving a certificate. which is fine that i don't receive it. i just have problems with him as a person in charge of helping students, when he is clearly not helping students as much as he could. but who am i to question him and doubt him. i'm only a student. 24 years old and naive. right? oh crap. i'm 24! i completely forgot that. wow. its time to get out of here. time to leave this place.. ++
