Semester One - Final Review

So, yesterday we had our final review for our first semester of Architecture.

I felt mine went rather well. Compared to everyone else’s projects, mine was the most pragmatic. I knew this going in, and I knew this is what the reviewers would tell me. Being pragmatic, in itself, is not a bad thing; one of the guest reviewers even told me that I was going to be a great architect because of that. So, their advice (along with my HS Art Teachers, Studio Professor, Studio TA’s, and myself have said to me) was to be more creative! And then my Studio Professor asked what we should put in my brownies. (^_^;;)

Also, my Uncle, who is a practicing Architect himself, got mentioned. :3

These past few months have been nothing but pure hell! I’ve understood why it’s called “architorture,” but now I’ve experienced it myself… and I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything in the whole world.

So, the review went well. I can finally breath a sigh of relief…

    

…And catch up on sleep for the next month and a half.

Goodness! Something other than trains!

I just got this in the mail. This means fun times are ahead!
(Yes. I still play the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. I absolutely regret nothing.)

Also, Happy December! Time is being Wibbly-Wobbly all right.
...Especially when my first Architecture final is (quite literally) right around the corner.

But that also means my break is coming up soon, which means time for railroading! :D

Hello. I'm The Doctor.

What a handsome fellow! ...Actually, I'm not that self-centered; I'm quite the opposite actually.

(Update soon. I blame college for not letting me live on the internet.)
(Actually... as far as I know, nobody actually reads this blog. If you actually do, [and I honestly don't know why you would], let me know somehow)

Found this.
Keeping this on here for records.

I promise to update soon.
Meow.

Seems my copy of Trainz 2010 has gone all Wibbly-Wobbly. ಠ_ಠ

Apologies for not updating more often. I suppose starting college tends to ruin all plans for a personal life.

Project: Tram Engine

So, I guess I'll begin my first model railway project here.
I've decided to scratch-build a 4mm scale model of a LNER Y6 (GER G15) 0-4-0 Tram Engine. I'll be constructing it from a material known as Chipboard, also known as paperboard. Plans for the 4mm scale model can be found in the July 1961 issue of Railway Modeller. 

7mm Scale Model from Connoisseur Models

So, some information about the prototype: This class of ten engines was built in 1883 by the GER to work on the Wisbech and Upwell tramway. They were designed to meet the rigid specification for locomotives operating on public roads. After the LNER J70 class (GER C53) of Tram engines was introduced on the lines, the class was used elsewhere, notably at the Yarmouth Port. The last locomotive was withdrawn in 1952.

Baryonyx on Train

In response to my friend saying that I remind him of a Baryonyx...

...
Oh god. What have I done?
I'm sorry. I'm so Sorry.

Tumblr

So, I decided to create a Tumblr account.
jagneta.tumblr.com
And I think I know what I'm going to use this blog for now.
I will use this for major events and the occasional update on stuff while Tumblr becomes more of an everyday thing.
Perhaps this place will become more of an update blog once I begin building my Model Railway.
At least, that's the way I envision using these two services as of now.

English Term Paper

So, this is my final English Term Paper that I've written.
It still deals with trains (It wouldn't be me do do otherwise), thus is relevant to this blog.
Its titled: "The Reverend W. Awdry and Historical Realism in The Railway Series."
So, find a comfy seat, grab a nice beverage of your choice, and enjoy reading!

Heh. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this blog.

Future

I swear...
This is going to be me one day.

Instead of going into Architecture, I'll be an Engine Driver.

And I still don't know what I'm doing here.

Starting from a Blank Slate

So, I guess I have a blog.

Actually I've had this one for a couple of years, but I never touched it.

I think I only used this place to show off the one video I ever uploaded to YouTube:

So, I recently decided to delete all the old posts (all 3 of them), and start anew.

I really don't know what I'll be using this for. I decide sooner or later.
