Strangely motivated?

Sometimes I get to the point where I really want to achieve great success by becoming an architect.

Yesterday I arrived late for my design studio class and I think that I made myself memorable to my professor since I'm not from China despite my Chinese appearance and during the desk-crit yesterday he made more eye-contact with me when compared to my other team mates.

My first few words to him was "I'm sorry for coming late" and after my brief introduction and him showing interest in the fact that I come from Southeast Asia I said "Am I supposed to say anything else?" and then he said "If you want to."

And so I proceeded to say "I really like this studio...?"

He smiled and thanked me, saying that it was too early to tell but he appreciated what I said.

He was also impressed with my name somewhat as the way the way it's spelt was not in the usual way that he would pronounce things. Not like I'm making myself clear on what I'm trying to explain by that but I hope you get the gist of it... Somewhat...

And the thing that still remains in my mind is the fact that he smiled to me and said "You do know there's a famous person who has the same name as you?"

"Yes, she's from Mexico right?"

"Hahaha yes. Maybe there'll be a second famous person with the same name."

And I couldn't help but feel pleased and I thanked him rather happily.

Although he doesn't know that I intend to pursue a different direction instead of architecture.

But when I get into a project, sometimes I feel like I really want to make it work and become an architect but then again, that is more like a 'I really want this to be amazing' thing I have going instead of 'I really want to be an architect.'

He also said that we should keep a journal.

Little does he know that I have been keeping one AHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway I'll be going off early to do some work in the uni's library since I'll be more spirited to do research there as opposed to me staying here, in my comfy room.
