Internship

I'll be interning at Buro Happold this summer. I'm pretty stoked. But from previous experience, I realize that I get pretty upset when things appear  to hold me back. The advisor is really busy. The project is getting a little boring. Is it 5pm yet? 


I guess there's always something you have to do but do not really want to do. That's the way things are.


I really want to get the most out of this though. I want to keep exploring. If something doesn't work out, I should adapt and switch my attention to something else I find interesting.


I'll just post these articles as well. Perhaps I'll have to reread them to revitalize my enthusiasm for my work. Hopefully that'll work.

The Long Line

The long line ahead. That's what you should be looking down, when you drive. Those seemingly big problems you have could just be small splatters of dust on a windshield.

They'll remain for a while. Occasionally, your eyes will wander, notice, and widen at the sight of them. As if you forgot they were there. Accept that they exist.

Keep your hands on the wheel.

Sure, sometimes there's a crack on your window. You should stop and get it fixed. Really though, cracks are rare.

It's a long road ahead. But keep seeing as far as you can see.

Trust me, it's gonna be an awesome ride.
