Woooo!!!!! POW!!! One week holiday is here! Dammit, got so much homework...but it was expected anyway so...
Wow...so long never write in here.
Yup, um.....actually, the homework's not that bad, because it's basically everything I like. We not only have drawing and painting and stuff but we've got lotsa writing to do as well. Stuff is almost perfect...except for lecturers and all. Problem comes in the form of...people....lecturers and a classmate to be exact.
This freaky classmate...he smokes, he's like..something's wrong with him. He likes to be alone. That's not a problem, but he's kinda sick and ah beng-ish. Cough cough cough all day because his lungs are all black from nicotine addiction. The hell, sometimes he smells of smoke...and he..just..sucks. Okay, so I don't really know him, but wtf..I hate all smokers because they ruin my life and my lungs and I wish they could drop and die from lung disease. Yes. I think he's in some kind of...dysfunctional family. Maybe had a traumatic childhood or something.
Next thing is the lecturers...on Monday...well, it's one of the worst days for everyone in my Drawing essentials class. The lec is this scary guy. Scary scary. He thinks he draws freaking well. So. Actually. He does. But that's beside the point. There are like, 5 steps in drawing...lemme see..what are they..eh I think its sketch, object, proportions, details and finish drawing. Okay, as if I follow them anyway. When people skecth (as in you have no idea what the hell is that thing sketch) he says "Don't draw, sketch". ...........................
So, I don't get him. We've asked him several times, and it looks like we're doing the right thing. Whatever. I just feel glad that I didn't fail anything he gave us so far. He even warned us that a lot of us might fail this subject because we still didn't know how to draw. What!!?? I don't wanna fail anything. Then I'll have to graduate later....sigh.
On tues I've got 3D Art. So far I had all 'A's for my last portfolio review....so surprised at first..I didn't think she would be so nice. Spent a lot of time on the cover page..it wasn't that important to me...but I guess presentation counted. So my hard work paid off.
On wed I've got Ideation. Scary, no? It's actually one of my faves...the subject is, cos the assignments are so freaking fun n challenging. First we did image making..like, from a small black square form an image around it. So fun...hope it was important cos i spent days on that. Then we had character design...when I saw the schedule I almost flipped...i LURVE character design...that's really what I wanna do. Then the weird part was that it wasn't supposed to be a human being. We had to choose 3 qualities our chara was supposed to have. I got rubbery, rounded & bird....haha hey that was good, considering other people got blobs, pointy zebra.
On thurs is the lecture where everyone from different courses go to. It's not a talking kinda lec..we just sit there and watch some boring documentary on stuff (SOMEHOW) relating to design. The sub is Culture & expression...I think. Then I've got 2D Art. My folio was returned recently. BAH!! I got like, all Bs and one D. SHHIIITT!!!! Well, everyone in andrea's class didn't even get a B...the hell what is wrong with these lecturers...?
Gonna redo the one that has a D. Well duh I want a better mark. I can't believe so few people got good grades..in my opinion, B is not good. But gotta except it. One of my works was sent for pin-up...whatever that is. I duno where she's gonna pin it up. Hope I get it back...I gave up my blood and sweat and sleep for that.
Friday, which should be a happy day, is really the worst. Not only am I not familiar with the class, cos there are some from other courses, the people I usually hang out with are not with me. I have a group of people I'm familiar with there, but its just not as enjoyable. The lesson is Communicating design ideas. Wanted to puke the first time I heard it. Sounds bad? The lec is worse. He's some kinda perv...I just feel like bashing his face up. Everything about him is so freaking sick. You'll know him well enough if you're in my class.
Got lotsa lotsa stuff to do....hm..we've got 2 assignments for the upcoming chingay festival. Gotta do a lanturn and a banner. Each of the students. Sobs. My lanturn design is a phoenix...if it does get chosen, look out for it!!! They should be at orchard road...and the banner thing is like, a 1m by 1m painting (acrylic paint). I haven't decided on my final design but I hope everyone's painting gets to be put up.
Ya know....the people in my course...they're all so freaking creative. I realise that I might be the worst in 3D art class for clay making. It doesn't help to excel in everything but that...everything counts in the end. Maybe I just don't have the patience/skill/talent/motivation for that kinda thing. I like clay though....it gets all squishy in ur hands..squish squash splat...
So far, life's been damn good. Met so many nice people. And now...it's like..I don't have a single problem going in front of a class for presentation. Maybe it's the fact that I'm presenting what is mine for a change, and not like in sec school where its a group thing. We hardly have group projects...but I think I do better on my own for some reason...its like you plan your own time and stuff without having to think about other people's inconveniences.
Sometimes, group members can be a pain. In the last (and so far, ONLY) group work we had, only 3 people properly did it. Me, my friend, and smoker dude. The other 2 guys were no where in sight cos we didn't have their contacts and the 2 girls...just didn't do anything. I hate group work. At least with this bunch of people. They're a nice bunch of people...but I think they just suck in contributing.
...Made a lot of friends I can count on here...but in the end I think working individually works best for me.
CCA's not compulsory here...but for the sake of more credit points I joined one that doesn't take up too much of my time...what other than Japanese Cultural Cluuuubbbb!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha...omigosh...they have free screenings of anime and anime movies and you get points as long as you watch them..haha. Watched the free screening of Naruto the movie last time...sugoi sugoi!! Next week they're showing Bleach...like, how good can it get? Anime rules.
