I did it last year... that was a fun morning. I assume it's the same this year, but the section where they're like.. "Here is a box with a tiny squiggle in it, create something out of it" (with pencil obviously), I somewhat took the piss... I had a jellyfish stealing a bag of money and called it "Running from the Feds" as one of them, and these two buildings that looked like cereal boxes and called it "People Os" as another.

The bit where they're asking you to write little essays as to why you want to do architecture though, that was weird... Especially as it asked for previous experience and I just had absolutely none. Pretty surprised I got called back actually, all things considered...

I was just wondering so I could find out what other people thought about the poxy drawings.... I hated them so much
we weren't told to name them though, I had a tree... a taxi... some manga charachter... and i honestly can't remember any more :P

I can't remember if we had to name them... I just did for the craic. And to explain the deep, alternate meanings behind them.
