F2F Class Notes (Tibo) [W]

I wrote it 2 weeks ago. and today I found/realized it disappeared and I couldn’t find it anywhere, weird, so I uploaded it again

I would like to live in a home which I design for myself no matter where it is.  I major in architecture and I think designing for ourselves is all the designers’ dream/ is a designer’s dream, but I haven’t decided where it would be. Right now I want to strive for my future and enjoy a convenient life and I will choose to live in the city, a flat/apartment is totally enough, the house price, as you know, is high, and I’m a realist/realistic / I don’t get my hopes too high.
Maybe in the future when I get older, I may be tired of the noisy and concrete environment and have a desire for/long for fresh air, trees, nature, etc, I would go to countryside and build a big house next to a river. There would be mountain in the horizon and a few farms in the surroundings… etc. And talking about the type of home, I’m more interested in a simple style / minimalistic style / basic living. I don’t imagine it too colorful/vibrant / I prefer muted colors. Most of it would be / it would mostly be white, grey, black and (made of ) (remind of) timber or bamboo, add a little bright color to decorate/ to avoid being too plain/boring.

Moreover, I couldn’t bear if my home has plenty of unused/leftover stuff/ I couldn’t bear it if my home is full of clusters . Being tidy can save my time and space. There would also be plants in the corner of the home. Green things can make me feel relaxed. Additionally, there would be some machines and high-tech/connected products, I’m so lazy and it can solve some problems for me/ it can make my life easier.
If it comes true / If it happens one day, I would like to live by myself/on my own according to my situation now, I don’t need to care about others’ thought and lifestyles / I would be entirely free. In my home, I wouldn’t  be disturbed and just do what I love, no matter what it is. I would be free.

I would like to live in a home which I design for myself no matter where it is. Because I major in architecture and I think designing for ourselves is all the designers’ dream, but I haven’t decided where it will be. Right now I want to strive for my future and enjoy a convenient life and I will choose to live in the city, a flat is totally enough, the house price, you know, is high, and I’m a realist. Maybe in the future when I get older, I will be tired of noisy and concrete environment and have a desire for fresh air, trees, nature, etc, I will go to countryside and build a big house surrounded by river, mountain, farm, etc. And talking about the type of home, I’m more interested in simple style, not too colorful. It most includes white, grey, black thing and timber or bamboo, added a little bright color to decorate. Moreover, I couldn’t bear my home has plenty of stuff, there hasn’t a thing I don’t need or use. Because it can save my time and space. There also have plants in the corner of the home. Green things can make me relaxed. Additionally, it will have some machine and technological products, I’m so lazy and it can solve some problems for me. If all things can be real, I would like to live with myself according to my situation now, I don’t need to care about others’ thought and lifestyles. In my home, I won’t be disturbed and just do something I love, no matter what it is. I’m free.
