Life...

So, I've been in San Diego for over 3 weeks and have managed to do absolutely nothing with my thesis. I did write a few questions for an interview I plan to do.
Here is what I have so far:


These are a series of question that will help determine what program will better fit a therapy center catering to the veterans and active member of the military suffering from PTSD and other mental disorders.

What is more important in your environment when visiting a therapist?

Do you prefer group therapy or one-on-one therapy?

Do you prefer a building near to public areas ( downtown, ,markets and parks ) or secluded areas away from the public?

Does having access to views and natural light while in therapy important to you.

Do you find it beneficial having a hospital in the vicinity.

Would you take advantages of anemeties such as, exercise rooms, meditation gardens, and other recreational areas.

Rate the importance of the following services available to you at a therapy center. 1 being the lowest 5 being the highest.

Social service
Legal service
Job search assistance
Daycare service

iPhone 5

Waiting for the new iPhone 5. Having a iPhone that is 3 generations behind has been a pain. Every update makes it slower and less reliable. I think if I were to have an emergency where I would have to use my phone to call 911 I would be out of luck. I don't know who to blame, which giant is the biggest devil, AT&T or Apple. Did they do this
on purpose? Do them make it so that you have to buy a new phone every 2 years because your phone now it's absolute? Either case, that's some funky business and if I were on the other side of the coin it would all make sense.
Still, I don't see myself with an android or a blackberry. So, I will wait till the summer where I will find out if it will be worth changing carriers and who will carry the best iPhone.

So, today I began the first stages of my thesis.  Many things are in my TO-DO list and I don't know where to begin.  I can start by just simply beginning with the smallest task, but even that seems hard to do.  Avoidance?  No, just too much on a small plate at this moments.  While I start, here are come pictures of the places I'll be looking into for precedence.  

The Salk Institute.

Cancer Center UCSD

Any VA Hospital that offers PTSD meeting...

I'm an Architect Student and I use a gaming computer to do my work!!! Okay, yes, I can see why it might seemed like a little overkill but you don't understand the MADNESS of a computer lab at finals and how every time you hit RENDER you are have a 50 50 chance of loosing all your work! So, I've decided to reach out for the monster computer that will keep me from pulling out my hair this semester. The best computer out there! I know, a lot of gamers out there would be so MAD to learn that a geek like me will not be using this baby to play video games but I plan to use it to its FULL potential. I promise to run Illustrator and CAD and 3D max all at the same time. I promise to let my husband play Call Of Duty on it, and I promise to let any nerd out there drool over it whenever he/she sees it.

Inspiration

This is it

This is my first post. It is Valentines day and I'm at school doing homework. I don't mind being here because it was either this or home alone with my cats. My husband is in China and its not like we celebrate Vday anyway.
I'm working on my studio 656 HW. I'm designing a Camera Obscura for Dolores Park. I'm in the initial stage and I'm looking into Tadao Ando for some inspiration. So far I like the Vitra house and I think I might be able to use that as my main case study.
