Double Agent
A little while ago Huey and I went into Soumitri's studio for the afternoon. We are both in the Project Zoo studio which has been pretty interesting.
We really wanted to see what the fuss is about. I wasn't sold by Soumitri's speech on the day we chose our studios, which surprised me bacause I know he is a very inspiring talker - so I went with my gut instinct and chose the Orangutans.
So I sat through the class listening - The project was a problem solving activity to do with waste management in groups - I got all the handouts and started flicking through them. Especially the one to do with "back casting" that was amazing.
I had to leave early. I was driving home thinking about whether I made the right decision working with the zoo. I hate having regrets - I hate people that constantly regret. I really enjoyed the zoo studio. Then I started assessing what soumitri's studio was (it could have changed by now). What did this studio represent to a whinging outsider like me.
I realised that I can still take soumitris studio. I've submitted work for fringe furniture - delivering that tomorrow. I've started my own "real life" company - fair enough its not "industrial design"driven its still moderately successful. I'm back into art again doing life drawing (term has just ended). I'm back into my music again attempting to get a group going and also attempting to join another group whilst attempting to teach myself to sing without sounding like a dying cat. I'm attempting to see my friends more after I neglected them so much over the semester. I'm attempting to take care of my nonna (who wasn't well over the uni break). I'm attempting to date more so I don't have to put up with "why don't you have a girlfriend your such a nice guy?" comments. I'm attempting to not quit my retail job because I think lugging boxes aroud for five hours whilst putting up with obnoxious customers builds character.
All this whilst doing an upper pool studio and I have no regrets at all. After all I think Soumitri has been trying to stress the fact that any passionate student is already a "designer". I think the trick is that you can't be a leach - waiting for the answer to come to you. I still have no answer - All I know is that I'm busy, a little stressed and accepting of the fact that I hate tech design and this last hour of posting has been a pathetic attempt at avoiding study.
