Second year is a far trickier mistress than one would think at the beginning of the year. You start of fantastically and after a month you believe that its gonna be a breeze!! Beware hapless student. A deadline sneaks up on you like leprosy and takes you from the highest high to the lowest low in a matter of seconds. It hits you like a tsunami hits a small Pacific island and tumbles you around up to the point where you can hardly remember how to click a mouse. Architects, it seems, refrain from hand to hand combat but use choice words to drive that arrow straight through the psyche and leaves your self respect tethering on a sliver. Must be that eerie knowledge of forces...
So, you ask, what is the lesson Gandalf? Simple answer is check your work, again and again. If you think that everything is swell, check it again. And just for s%^*ts & giggles, check it again. That’s what I learned this week.
