What have I been doing since the last time you all heard from me? Hmm.. let's see, HEAPS! The past couple of months has been the most hectic time for me since I don't even know when! What, you might ask, have I been doing?!??!?! Quite a few things, actually.
1. Last minute wedding plan changes
2. Planning for the changes
3. Got my professional registration
4. Going through the MOST unorganised subject I have ever tutored in Uni of Melb
While I was busy organising the wedding, I was also busy attending classes for my professional registration exam. :S Yup, it's definitely hectic, to say the least! Imagine, I have my Part 2 exam on April 9, wedding on April 26 and Part 3 exam May 6.... :S and in between those things, my students had their thesis handed in as well. So between all those, I had to grade 40 x 2500-word thesis in a week!!!! All these on top of my full time work. Now I guess you can see why I have been absent since... :S
But the outcomes are all good. The wedding went really smoothly and memorable and I passed my exams! On my first try! :D Yay! No more awkward moments when people ask the most hated question for all pre-registration architects: So what do you do? URGH! Usually the typical answers would be:
a) I am SORT of an architect
b) I am not an architect YET but I do all the things an architect does
c) I am an architect, BUT I can't legally call myself that
After one of those answers, they will persist and ask: I thought you graduated with an architecture degree? *sigh* The typical public just don't really understand the rough path we architects have to go through. It's basically very much like a doctor where you have to do your internship. We have to do go through 2 degrees which takes up a whole 5-6 years. After that, you graduate and work, but not as an architect. They degrade you by giving you an extra 'GRADUATE' in front of the word ARCHITECT. :S
But all that is in the past... Now, when someone ask me that question, I can proudly say: I AM AN ARCHITECT!!!!! :D So what does that mean to me? It just means I am now in higher risk! hahhahahha....
