an update to appease the masses

happy 3 month anniversary to me!!

it's been 3 months, to the day, since my first day at work!

may: complete and utter boredom paired with a serious language barrier.

june: became (and still am) the official department translator. so far i've had to contact people in italy, germany, hong kong, france, england, and america. i'm international, bitch!

july: finally able to open up autocad and sketchup!!! granted, it's to work on the front gate to a university campus. the gate that is the bane of my existence (said whilst shaking fist in air)!

slowly, but surely, i'm moving on up! we'll see what august brings.

actually, knowing both english and korean has some benefits. i was able to go along on a photoshoot with roland halbe a few weeks ago as his translator. we went to photograph the korean anime museum by NBBJ and Gansam architects. for those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, he is an architectural photographer. he shot the MTCC on the IIT campus and he's the one who shot this photograph.


werner sobek's home r-128, stuttgart, germany


he's actually a very interesting person. adventures were had. climbing on apartment building roofs, knocking on random people's doors to shoot the building from inside their homes, and i'm in a few of the photographs! we'll see if they show up somewhere ... c3 or space maybe? he also told me about the time werner sobek got locked in his home on his way to the airport and couldn't get out. fun stuff.
