i think studio 612 seriously needs to learn to focus. we were supposed to have a quick dinner, and start the meeting at 7.30pm, then get as much done as we could. how could such a simple plan go awry? when we decide to have hotpot for dinner before the meeting. but hotpot in a restaurant's so expensive and besides we want it to be a fairly quick dinner, so why not make it ourselves and save time by cooking at uni?
being asian and severely underestimating the time required to cook hotpot, the timetable changes slightly.
6.00pm :: get picked up to go grocery shopping
6.45pm :: reach uni and start setting up.
7.00pm :: realize there's not enough food because of unexpected people turning up and wanting food. unable to say no, 2 people head off to get more food. one group member decides to start printing stuff out but encounters computer network problems. spends ages trying to get around it.
8.00pm :: finally start cooking
8.05pm :: wonder why the soup's not boiling. oh we need more gas.
8.06pm :: new gas canister inserted, soup starts boiling.
8.15pm :: finally start eating.
and eating
and eating
and eating
10.00pm :: start cleaning up.
10.20pm :: sit down to start the meeting. some attempts are made to sketch on our immense site.
10.21pm :: group splits up to keep on printing as before. the printer problems continue.
11.00pm :: group finally all sit down together. we're finally getting work done! oh wait what's that? you want to take pictures for the cockamamie fanclub page? great!
2.00am :: we need to call it a day because of 11am class the next day.
even if the other sydney uni team has dropped out and the unsw teams are to architecture what the wacky races are to f1 racing, that's still another 992 teams from another 39 countries we're up against.
i think a lifting of game is required. maybe next week?
