secrets of my success

so here is my first post from cliff lin aka clindiesel aka da professa aka salsa caliente. so like cesar aka CaAP or however u spell it aka da godfatha, i have recently graduated njit and joined the work force in manhattan. my views on work? it is a means to an end supposing that one wishes to continue on in the field of architecture. having said that i would like to offer some tips to help those still fighting the good fight and struggling in school ahem john im. actually he already follows a lot of these tips so nevermind john. the first one is crucial. ok here goes.

1. GO TO NJIT
they will let anyone in. and they'll give anyone a degree. consider this. i took 4-5 classes a semester and out of those classes i probably only went to one of them on a semi-consistent basis. the other ones eh one of them maybe half the time i would go then the other 2 or 3 i would only go twice a semester to take exams n hand stuff in. somehow that just doesn't add up.

2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FANCY COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND RENDERINGS
almost every professor nowadays is a sucker for some kind of fancy rendering. so if u can manage to come up with some hot looking renderings majority of the time they will probably be in your favor. however, along with these fancy renderings, some verbose language is required as well. see item number 3.

3. USE BIG WORDS AND MAKE WORDS UP THAT SEEM REAL BUT PEOPLE AREN'T REALLY SURE IF THEY ARE OR NOT
phenomenology, tectonicality, totalitarianism etc etc. architects seem to like to make up new words that people aren't sure if they're in the dictionary or not. so if u combine two words say axis and parametric and come up with parametricallyaxiality they'll be sure to be like huh? is that true? is that a word? must be sounded cool n fancy. however a caveat to this item, words of such nature must be said in a certain manner a la item number 4.

4. SPEAK IN A CONFIDENT INTELLIGENT MANNER AS IF YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE WRONG
this is probably THE most crucial element in one's path to the darkside. if one speaks on a similar level as the ones teaching them then they cannot possible be fouled by the evil darkside force shock powers. what? oh architecture. yeah if one has a vocabulary and aptitude capable of convoluting the professors then it is possible to argue defend and slaughter them like animals. i hate them! oh wait what. i digress.

hmm am i missing anything else. oh yeah if NJIT is the path one decides to take, be sure to take all of gabrielle esperdy's classes she is the best teacher hands down at njit eventho she will rip off ur nutsack if u hand in a paper late or don't do the readings. and biggup to matt k aka frenchie aka pink lady aka wiseass aka da dvdbootlegga. how's that for a post. i seriously doubt it anyone will read this or actually use these tips towards any kind of degree. so far i think its only worked for me.
