Just getting over a really bad migraine which I have had for 3 days. It started when I spent the whole day trying to find a site for my thesis project. There were a few buildings that I really loved but they either didn't have parking or were too small. Parking availability is one of the criterias for my site. My professor has decided my topic isn't so bad because everyone he spoke to apsolutely loves my topic of chocolate. He was like, what can you do with chocolate? but I could pick any topic I liked so I chose chocolate. He doesn't want us to do something run of the mill like a school or a hotel for example, the building as to have an innovative purpose. I have spent hours looking at past projects and still really like my friends' work. She did a science center in a church. Her issue was the conflict between science and religion but her whole work was really good. The design and the materials chosen were great.

Now I have to try and find the perfect building and hopefully get the floor plans. 20,000 square feet is a lot to play with and took me days to do the program. I have to think about things like building codes, lighting, air circulation. Math, not my strongest subject.

I am getting there slowly but surely. My professor is not the easiest of people and he really peeved most of the class off. There were 7 of us in the beginning, now we are five. It's a hell of a lot of work and he is just never happy. Every week for me now is like playing catch up. Three sites to find and document with floor plans by Tuesday. O joy, when will it be mine........
