venice

i've only visited venice once, it was amazing, it was so beautiful and serene, so calm yet bustling with life, it's a magical place.  Every year, venice is the host of the binnale every year, it alternates between art and architecture, and this year its architecture, me being the nearly arch type keep seeing photos of different arch pavilions from the festival and to be honest it makes me wish i was there. It looks amazing.  this has inspired me to save up next year so i can go to the binnale next summer, despite the fact that it'll feature art, its venice!

recap

It seems ridiculous that I have achieved next to nothing this summer holidays, considering I had a plan (like I always do), it was a pretty good plan actually : get work experience or a paid job and see london but it failed miserably, despite the fact that  I applied to over 50  establishments for both paid employment and work experience, no body wanted me. So what did I do with the free time on my hands? nothing! I didnt even stick to my back up plan which was to learn how to draw things I didnt learn this past academic year, such as how to draw in perspective 1 and 2 point, or how to draw effective axonometrics or draw effectively fullstop, once again I'm filled with uncertainty about what it is that i'm doing with my life. Is architecture really the right thing for me? I mean I like what I do, I'm just not good at it, I know I need to work twice at hard as other people because I didnt do so well this year but the question that lingers is this what I really want? to try very hard and still be mediocre at best? the thing is I love designing but so far my work hasnt exactly been popular with the majority and most people dont even understand it - which is equally terrifying. 

The summers not over yet, I still have about a month to go,  I have a plan, or rather a revised plan to sort my life out. One of the main factors of my plan is to log everything so I shall be submitting more entries and maybe by doing that I can figure out What it is that I want.

Ciao
