Design studio until January 5th!

From the end of november, I started to work with design team. My teammates are 2 Italian girls. I corporated with them because their time schedule is good for me.
I often go to travel in the weekend. The end of november, my family visited me and I guided bruxelles and paris. From 1st to 7th, I visited Granada and Balcerona.

Other erasms students except my teammates do not go out during schooldays. My Italian girls come from Genoa, and their school seems hard. In Italy, their curryculum of the Genoa university includes mathematics, physics and history. They often go back their hometown to take exam, once every month.

Others started their design from the end of november, while we started the second week of this december. And we have to finish only for 2weeks! The deadline is 5th of January but Italian girls must go home for winter vacation. Unfortunately, one of 2 girls cannot come to design in Bruxelles, so I and another Italian girl, Irene supposed that 2girls have to worked until until christmas and restart to work from Happy new year's day!

For me, this situation is really exciting. 2weeks design and complete presentaion with A1 poster, model and 9pages of A3 paper.Those are impossible. Other students use 2weeks for only presentation. But we have to concentrate on discussing in english, planning and making presentation.
My english is not good among european, although my teammate is worse than mine. We, however, always try to convey my thinking with poor english and drawing and catch what we say. The word what we like is "why?", and "yes, but...".
Apparently, those are negative words, "but" they are good to think advantage/disadvantage,or consider with comparison.I prefer " why?" and "if". The reason is that it always follow "because". Making question or hypothesis lead solutions. This is fundamental way to design. I always work harder to tell her simply
