| I've got a little over 2 months before I turn 20. About 70 days left of being a teenager.
If I could look back and think, "Man, I wish I had gotten this or that accomplished while I was still a teenager," what would this or that be?
Honestly, probably a marathon or something. But as I haven't gone running in a couple months, and even then I was doing about 3 miles max, that's probably out.
Hmmm. Any suggestions?

| Have you ever thought about the fighting strategy of cats, concerning bugs/other small things?
See target - get close, sniff
Raise paw
Wait
Wait
Wait
Hit the crap out of it
Leap backward, if necessary
...I kinda like it...might have to try it out someday.

| Current plan:
Maymester course through Italy, via the architecture department. Tour, sketch, see, etc. 2-3 weeks.
See everyone off at the airport. Proceed to travel (north? maybe swinging east to Greece?) through Europe, hitting as many countries as possible. Eventually make my way to Scotland. See relatives, get a plane ticket home. 3-4 weeks.
Needed: money. About $3000 of it.

| "We are taught that creativity is the most important thing in architecture. Well, I don't believe that. I think that the creative process leads to discovery, and discovery is the most important thing. I'm suggesting that any work of architecture - as opposed to merchandise - has the potential to be discovered, and drawing is the key.
The verb to draw means "to bring out," and to bring out is to reveal, and to reveal is to understand. With the computer, you arrive at the end before you comprehend the meaning of that end.
One of the great problems of our period is that we've developed tools that allow rapidity, but rapidity and repetitiveness do not lead to right solutions. Perception gives us right solutions. I know that one can use a computer to discover, but what is produces is form; it can be sculpture, but not necessarily architecture. There's so much work today that's different for the sake of difference. It creates loud architecture that screams at you."
