Late Nights in Studio

Why is my background black? I don't know, maybe because I am sitting in studio right now working on another architecture project. This windowless room, up here on the 6th floor is more "home" to me than my dorm room because I honestly spend more time up here than in my dorm room. The reason it is black is because that is usually the color of the sky the majority of time that I am in here. Now don't get me wrong, I am absolutely infatuated with architecture, the processes, the details, the freedom, but the hours are not so hot. I have to be in here for class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from one to five. And each week, we get a new project statement, and each week that new project is due. So hours upon hours are spent up here late at night because during the day, I don't have the time to come up in here and work. The word "sleep" has found itself outside of my everyday vocabulary due to its non-existence. I don't have time for sleep when I have architecture, soccer, a job, and a life. Especially with our first-year projects, which are abstract, busy work, and so time consuming that I sometimes get really frustrated. But all I can do is look to the future, to the prospect of using computers and not exacto knives. So, now I have to get back to my project and the cave that I live in.
