YOU: How have you changed this year

How have I changed this year? I dont feel like I have changed very much this year. If I was to of had a change it would be how I see my future. This year in architecture classes I learned much more than I used to about the carrer and what an architects job is. I learned that they are much more of artists than I thought coming into the year. Art is not my favorite subject and I'm not very good at pretending that things look like something that they are not. Most of my leaning and growth this year was probably done outside of the classroom. If there was any growth it would mostly be in my time management and perseverance. College days seem a lot shorter than they were back home. In high school I never lost any sleep because I was doing homework or a project. It used to be that there was time for tv and reading for fun. But now the tv is only on if its the super bowl, March Madness or the police tracked down a domestic terrorist, and reading is only if you are forced to for class which makes it impossible to enjoy. This year I learned what it was like to try to be creative and "designy" while not sleeping for a few days. I now understand why when I would tell them I was an architecture major I would get concerned looks like I said I was joining a nocturnal colt where we play with knives, make purposeless mounds of cardboard, and worship structures make hundreds or thousands of years ago. I still remember years ago back in August when I had my first studio class and how disappointed, disillusioned and dishappy I was when the teacher said where were going to make a painting of a painting of and artist born before 1500.  Obviously I am a much different person than I was at the beginning of this year.
