Some are, but then again I'm generally not a fan of older architecture, especially if it involves drab colors. It can paint a bleak and unappealing scene, to me.

This is the probably the No. 1 reason I had such difficulty adapting to the world of work after university - it always seemed like I was never "good enough" to keep the boss happy. This is why I've always felt the employment system needs to be revamped to make it more human-friendly, instead of squeezing people for the last drop of "productivity."

That's why I tell people who are in school to stay in school for as long as they can - as it's sure a heck of a lot better than the typical workplace...lol.
True, but school costs money. Especially at tech, the fees are quite high for an out of state kid like me without a GRA. My reason for coming was the fact that you get maximum benefit out of it for paying the price. In fact, its ranked as number 1 in that criteria.

I like skyscrapers - but only when they are done well. London is OK in this regard with some really innovative designs that I find actually look really nice:
Yeah I didn't realize buildings in London were that interesting.

I think my favorite city aesthetically is Miami. Hong Kong is also cool.

Same here. I'm on my third beer, but that's only because I've got nothing else to do for the rest of the day. This beer will probably be my last one.

This cold damp weather is playing havoc with my hand. I broke it a couple of years ago, and when it's cold it just gets really stiff and uncomfortable.

My hand that is.
