The chronicles of F week

For an architecture student, folio is a dirty, forbidden word. The very thought of it strikes fear and dread into the hearts of these young architecture slaves, shaking their sanity to the foundations. Folio week (from now on the filthy words shall be referred to as the F word) puts people through a severe test of perseverance and liberal amounts of fortitude is required to survive this hellish 7 days, all done for the sake of education and quite possibly the future of mankind's built environment

Some people end this week in triumph, but thats a rare breed. they belong to a subspecies of hardcore super efficient high tension steel - based lifeforms known as GERDS, a quasi-witty combination of the words geek and nerds. Most however emerge from the week crawling, shaking, covered in glue, bits of wood and cardboard and smelling of a foul mixture of sweat, food, various caffeinated drinks, glue and week- old body odour, all due to sleepless nights, showerless days and malnoutrition. Needless to say, the second group of students (i.e; mere mortals) resent the former and are secretly jealous of them. WELL, LOSER, ITS YOUR OWN FAULT THAT YOU'RE A LAZY, ARROGANT, CLUELESS IDIOT WHO WATCHES ABSOLUTE RUBBISH ON YOUTUBE ALL THE TIME INSTEAD OF DOING WORK! These gerds on the other hand, trot around the studio with rolls and rolls of perfectly drafted drawings sticking out of every orifice, silently smug that they have 5 minutes to spare before submission cut off hour while bitching to strugglers about what a hard time they had during the f week. SHOVE YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ARSE SO I WONT HEAR YOUR IRRITATING WHINING, YOU PRETENTIOUS TIT! I NEED TO GET MY SHIT DONE OR GET MY BALLS CHOPPED OFF.

Im not saying all archi students fall into either one of these stereotypes...hang on. maybe the do.

So who will survive F WEEK 2008? Stay tuned for the nail biting results show.

ps: Like the sectional perspective or ill stick it down your bloody throat.
