You know you are an architecture student when..


....your roommates say "good morning," and you reply "good night."

....you carry a toothbrush in your backpack.

.....'Coffee' is you favorite drink.

...all of the gifts you give are wrapped in tracing.

...after all of your expenses, you can't afford to pay attention

...you have 3 or more cups of black coffee in one night
...you hear the same song on the radio 3 or more times in one night.

... You know the different taste between Fevicol and Fevibond

... You can stay alive without sunlight, communicate with people nor having foods but you would commit suicide if the plotter doesn't plot your work out

...the only sleep you get is during lectures.

...You've lost your house key and u realized week later

...you sleep more than 16 hrs at weekends
...u dance madly at 3 am though u aren't drunk

...you note something with your rotring

... You are an expert and Photoshop, illustrator and auto cad but u don't know how to use MS excel...

....you've got 2 subjects / day but u got to study it whole day.

...you only leave work to buy supplies.

....you've ever dreamt about your models.

...upon hearing 'supermodel', you think of a nicely crafted-foam core model.

...your parents have more of a social life than you.

...your 14-year-old brother has more of a social life than you. .

...you know all the 24-hour food places in the area....

....your friends get more sleep in one night than you do in one week

..You consider 3AM an early night. ...

...you say "It's only midnight- I have plenty of time to finish."
...you confuse sunrise with sunset. ...you ask what time it is, then ask "AM or PM?"

...you slice your finger, and the first thing you think of is if you'll be able to finish your model.

...you understand why architects have glasses and white hair.
...you call some great architects as if they are you friends.err... Frank... Tadao. ...

...you know all of these are true, no exaggerations.

...you can listen to all your CD's in one night.

...your friends favorite brand names are Prada DNKY etc... But yours are Mastex, Staedtler, pentel, rotring

...you dare not to have a gf/bf coz no one can accept for what u are
...you can conceptually compose the food on your plate.

...upon hearing 'Weekends' you think of sleep.

...you start wearing all black.

...you have no life, and admit it.

...you start to critique a radio selection's selection of songs.

...you confuse today and tomorrow.

...you can write a 6-page term paper by procrastinating. .

..you hear "Didn't you wear that yesterday?' followed by "and the day before that?"

...you count the number of days (not hours) you've been awake.

.... respect", "coolness', and "hatred" are all based on how much sleep you get, or lack of.
...your bed has collected a layer of dust on it.

...concept of time is not forward, but a countdown from the time a project is due ("What time is it?""4 hours 'till").

...you contemplate dropping out 3 times a day.

...doing models all night long excites you.

......When you're not sure what day of the week it is

... When you have slept straight through a day and into the next day after a final review.

.. When lack of sleep makes you feel and act as if you are high

... When any flat surface is seen as a place to take a nap (underneath the tables in the computer room (that's where it is the warmest), in hallways, on drafting boards

... When friendship with a senior seems like a good idea because they might be able to help you on your project

... When friendship with a junior seems like a good idea because their final review is before yours and therefore, they can help you produce once they are finished

... When the books that you read consist primarily of photographs and not so much of words...

...When you have to ask your fellow architects to give you wake up calls

... When you have three or more alarm clocks in your room.

... When you skip classes because you have too much work to do.

... When you have an inexplicable mark running off your page because you fell asleep while drafting

.....you lose your eyesight and you gain backache and neck ache

...when Pink Floyd lyrics actually make sense

...when a 102 degree fever or sore throat is to you no excuse to miss a jury.
