Most people's summer weekends do not involve studying for exams unless they are still in school. But mine do!! (I'm trying to sound positive and excited about this) I'm going to become a licensed architect. This requires seven exams. Imagine taking your SATs 7 times, except all the information is about architecture. The boring parts of architecture mostly. Contracts, scheduling, programming, codes, utility easements, setbacks, and soil types--and that's only the first exam! The most exciting part I think is the history portion. It gives meaning to the way we have come to build today. Ever wondered how surburbia started? Check out Howard's plan for the Garden City.
Wish this is what my weekend involved:

(p.s. the decorative one will always win in my opinion)
