Me and design in FAU

University is a mess, I can’t say wheter is good or bad because you go through all of the mental states and feelings while studying. To start, I’m going to clear the fact that studying this career (design) is quite different from the other careers such as medicine, science or psychology, here the subjects aren’t cathedratics classes where you spend 2 hours listening to a teacher and taking notes (at least most of them becuase there are some subjects just like maths or histoy that, depending on the teacher can be called cathedratic) no, here you work in proyects all the time, not very often you do exams but all finals are actually handmade proyects.That can be good since we don’t burn our lashes out solving exercises o memorizing body parts all night, but in my point of view doing proyects are even more stressful that it seems, cause the amount of hours wasted on proyects are inestimable or you can have accidents or take bad  desicions leading you to lose days of working or even losing all your work. The good part of all is, in my opinion, the satisfaction of the well done work.

Design here in FAU is what I called a DIY career, cause if you want to do something you have to do it yourself, for example, there is a place caller “taller patin” an intervend space opened from studients to stuiends, why is it so important? Cause it reveals faculty problems like  infrestucture or lack of working spaces. I can name countless examples more about this but I feel the need to mentiont my recent and satifactory experience with CNC lab, cause I took CAD/CAM elective by mistake but gladly it was a great experience knowing who all of this CNC technology Works, now I’m stuck with a proyect I’ve no idea how to solve BUT I’m still glad I get to know all of this.

Fau is nice sometimes but I oftenly feel the urge to burn it.
