Guess how much sleep I got the night before last night! 3.5 hours! Guess how much I got last night! 2 hours! Guess how tired I was today! Very! I actually nodded off a bit in my Interp class, and that's just about the most interesting class I have. I'm very disappointed with myself. Nevertheless, I managed to get a nice long nap today right after classes ended.
Yesterday, we spent a lot of the day researching La Maison a Bordeaux, a very interesting house built by Rem Koolhaas, a professer at Harvard. I was little taken aback that my friend Zack practically yelled at me for spending my time looking for information online. But then, later, when he actually looked at what I found, he was quite impressed. Thank goodness for the french, because they are the ones who made what I found different from what the others found (I also suspect that what the teachers really like about our research was what the house was based on - which I found). And yes, the teachers were actually happy. They said, "You guys are right where we want you to be." I positively glowed, though I worry they're just trying to be nice so that no more of us cry.
I was a little sad when my partner, Nate, said he wouldn't ever work with Zack again. Though I agree, Zack does too much, he's still a very good person to work with. I guess they're too different. Zack is the hardworking boy from the close family who will always stick to the rules, whereas Nate is just as hardworking, but chooses to spend more time with a life outside of work. Sometimes I'm amazed that I could be friends with both (though I'm much more surprised Nate would be my friend than anything - those types of guys usually think I'm an idiot and stay away).
