The Learning Experience
Upon receiving the admission letter from
university, I frantically jumped for joy. I could not contain my excitement. It
was definitely one of the best news that I have ever received. However, that news lasted only for a short while. I
had the worse first week of school where I had learnt that it was not just
about getting into your dream course, but also to sustain yourself and getting
the best out of the four years ahead. Sadly, no one warned me about it. No
mercy was given to the high amount of workload and overnighting in studio. This
is what I called, ‘Architorture’. Despite all the hairsplitting assignments, I had grown to appreciate the nature of my course and fellow coursemates. Luckily for me, the
culture shock was toned down by friends that shared the same resentment. We
overcame it together and motivated each other. I must say that the friendship and
trust that my cohort has established would probably be the strongest as compared
to other courses due to the long overnights in our studio. ‘Architorture’
definitely pushes one to be resilient towards hardship, and prepares myself for
future challenges. Moreover, since architecture keeps on evolving, I guess my
learning journey will never stop even until my graduation.
