It's been difficult attending classes again, finding it easier to stay home and work on my assessments with upcoming deadlines, rather than working on them and discussing them with my tutor in the classroom. Public transport really eats up most of my day and I find my campus and classroom incredibly unmotivating and uninspiring to work and focus in (and it doesn't help that there is limited space to properly work on).

But today I was able to get out of the house and go to my fiance's university with him. Although I've only been a handful of times to his campus, it's always such a pleasure to visit and study there whenever I have the chance. If only my campus was surrounded by so much greenery like at this campus, rather than grey concrete, and have cosy study spaces like above. Maybe that would motivate me to attend my classes and inspire my landscape architecture designs.

First week of university

thank you Tumblr for deleting that first randition for no reason other than idk being a hater

I just started studying landscape architecture and have finally finished my first week of real lectures. It was really hard to understand our weird schedule at first, but together with my peers we managed to figure it out after a few days and some input from the professors.

It was mostly introductions this week, but it was still really interesting (most of the time at least.. looking at you economics/business course). I wouldn't have thought that the "grounds and plants" course would be that compelling, I can only hope that it will stay that way haha

I already did some revision work alone and also with some of my peers, l've felt really productive this week. Hopefully that motivation will not leave me soon.

In todays course our professor told us that we had to hand in a sketchbook as part of our grade at the end of the semester, which we could fill with whatever we wanted (but I assume that a lot of it should be at least somewhat connected to our bachelor).

Which I find really exciting since the drawing and creating part is what I came here to do in the first place.

So here's today's page:

Just doodling trees is actually more fun than I've ever realized haha

The drawing at the bottom is of the garden me and my housemates share that I can see out of my room's window. I thought it was a perfect way to start of this sketchbook that plan on drawing more landscapes I find into :)

I have a few more plans on how to fill this thing so stay tuned for that. It's a great way for me to get drawing again, it's been so long since I just sketched stuff like that.

So let's see what next week will bring :)

Can't believe that I will be presenting tomorrow. I don't even know if it will end tmr or not. I hope it does. I want to move on with my life and not be stuck here. There's nothing left for me here. I just pray that they will deem it worthy for a pass. Let's hope I pass my final year project presentation tomorrow.

Earlier today I attended an online seminar on the topic of healing landscapes and exploring the concept of the relationship between landscapes and wellbeing - answering questions such as how do aesthetics and emotion impact the cultural and environmental management of places and landscapes? If we heal landscapes, can we by extension, heal people? And what of the impact of climate change and disasters in relation to identity and belonging?

I'm really fascinated by this concept of having a symbiotic relationship between the built and natural environment, and consequently, between people and nature. So it was interesting to hear the perspectives of the speakers - one with a background in landscape architecture and one in the medical field - in understanding how they perceive the benefits of a relationship between people and nature, and how that can be converted into their practices.

On a different note, I've been staying home these past few days taking steps to recover from the flu. Doing something unrelated to my studies has made me realise how burnt out I am, which is embarrassing to say so early in the semester. But these assignments are very time and thought consuming - always thinking about them throughout the day on how can I better it, what can I add, etc. I have another assignment due this Sunday (for Design Studio this time) and I'm aiming to complete it by today so that I have the weekend to focus on my Theoretical Frameworks essay (due on Wednesday) and finding that balance between work and play that I desperately need.
