Study Abroad
Yesterday I am quiet shock when I heard dat any architecture student need to complete his part 1 and part 2 at the same university (which is recognized by LAM), then he will be considered recognized part 1 and part 2 by LAM.
If the student completed his part 1 and part 2 in different university, he need to resit the part 2 exam again although both universities are recognized by LAM.
Is this true? Can anyone help me to clarify it?
Another thing is what I heard today,
If you want to apply to study abroad, you need to have 1 year experience working in archi firm.
Is this true?

Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive unveil concept design for new Toyo Ito-designed building
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
Ito’s design calls for a three-storey building with an unexpectedly fluid steel exterior that curves to meet dramatic, towering windows.
The 139,000 sq ft interior will comprise a loose grid of interlocking spaces with gently curve walls that wind and bend throughout the structure. In places, the gallery walls will separate as if pulled aside like curtains, to allow passage between the varied exhibition areas.

One year
Suddenly feel like want to share something personal here.
But first , I have to apologize for my broken english.
I have thought for several times about myself and what I wanted to be before graduate.
Initially, I really planned to work in archi firm for one year to gain experience.
But, finally I decided to venture in education.
It is almost one year since I graduated , time really fly fast and this is what it terrified me the most.
Look back what happen after graduation till now, I really feel emptiness in life.
Sometimes I really wonder do I make the right decision for my future.
Or do I have a future indeed?
I am not a type of person who need to survive with high ambitous carrer.
I just hope to have some satisfaction and simple happiness in life.
but, these few months I met a lot of people from architecture field.
I feel more n more not confident even to socialize with them.
Maybe just the personal feelings who always wanted to encourage me to runs and escape.
One year lo................................
so fast........................................
Do I do something right before?
A lot of quarrels and disappointment in life, making me more and more speechless each day.
If you know me one year before, try to compare with me one year after.
I not sure how much I have changed, but the most obvious thing changed in me is I become more and more unable to talk to people.
I lost the abilities to give spontanteous respond to people in conversation.
This is also the reasons why I prefer to keep silent all the times.
only one year
so disappointed
I feel there is no muchbond left between you all and me.
if one more year to pass, what will be left between us?
No matter where and how..................
