-You know your and architecture student when... -you analyze everything as if it were a building. -concept of time is not forward, but a countdown from the time a project is due ("What time is it?""4 hours 'till"). -you slice your finger, and the first thing you think of is if you'll be able to finish your model. -you say "It's only midnight I have plenty of time to finish." -you confuse today and tomorrow and carry a toothbrush in your bag. -you confuse sunrise with sunset. -the alarm clock tells you when to go to sleep. -you strangle your roommate because he said he stayed up late studying. -you're not ashamed of drooling in class anymore, especially in the Structures lesson. -you know what UHU tastes like. -breakfast is your 5th meal of the day. -the morning newspaper beats you home. -The idea that you have a room to live in outside of studio is just a myth. -you hear "Didn't you wear that yesterday?' followed by "and the day before that?" -You draw perspectives of your friends room on your Japanese homeowork just for the fun of it. -Whenever you finish a project and don't have any studio work to do, you are constantly wondering why you aren't in studio working. -You buy baking paper inbulk to write on -You understand what 4B, 2B, B, HB, H, 2H, and 4H are and have lots of each type. -Your idea of splurging on yourself is buying another circle template (or other miscellaneous template). -YOU ALWAYS WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. -You always have a supply of bandaids around for exacto knife cuts. -You have a 30, 60, 90 and a 45, 45, 90 degree triangle. Or two. Or three. Or more.- You keep around adjustable triangles too just in case. -You start replacing pictures of your friends and family with pictures of buildings. -Watching the sun rise means you haven't gone to bed yet. -You never have enough wall space to pin things up. -You no longer leave studio to sleep, you just crash on the couch. -You always have a supply of portable and non perishable food. -You can go for days without sunlight. (You go to class in the dark, you come home in the dark). -Midnight is considered early evening. -You put up everything on your walls with drafting tape. -Push pins become a valuable commodity. -Computers are known only as the white box of death. (They keep crashing on you). -you can live without human contact, food or daylight, but if you can't print, it's chaos. -Pencil smudges and ink smears are the bane of your existance. -You start competing with each other for number of hours without sleep. (Less than 40 need not compete). -Your four basic food groups are lollies and coffee.Oh and redbull, coffee and cokes are tools, not treats -Time spent with friends must be scheduled way in advance. -you've slept more than 20 hours non-stop in a single weekend. -you've listened to all your CDs in less than 48 hours. -you're not seen in public. -you lose your house keys for a week, and you don't even notice. -Days don't exist anymore, everything is based on number of hours of work. (Of which there are a lot). -you become excellent at recycling when making models. you hear the same song on the radio 3 or more times in one night. -your parents have more of a social life than you. -you consider using broccoli for your models.
