I just have to write about this day. Nothing really special today, except that today was the first day of speed drafting lessons. I took the course in hopes of improving my drafting abilities. Although come to think of it, what I need is to improve how I think. Anyway, nothing to lose if I attend right?

Most of the drafting techniques taught in college were debunked by our instructor. For example, neat drafting. Our instructor told us to make our construction lines visible then just freely outline in ink over it. When we drafted a plan earlier, we were instructed not to use an eraser, relying solely on the power of visibly (and fastly) done construction lines. We also got some pointers on what sheet to do first, then in order until the last.
He taught us how to do ink lines that squiggle, much like what my boss does on his sketches. Then our final outline should extend a bit. I’m still adjusting to this new technique.

Anyway, I just have to write about this day because I felt so lazy over studying structural. I attempted to get out of the house as soon as I finished lunch so I could clock in some study time in the review center. while waiting for our 6 pm class to start. As in drag, I slept over my notes and drooled over them in the process. (I know, yuck.) The other subjects I could somehow psych myself into studying, but structural…if I didn’t take the speed drafting class earlier, I would have considered this day a total waste. Should I be panicking?! Anyway, just have to mark it on this blog whenever I feel like slacking off.
