And then, came yesterday. The deadline for all submissions. 11.59p. At that point of time. With a little calculation to back my point up. I decided to give up this second chance. Only because, it wouldn't have made a big difference (I estimated around, 3-4 mistakes, out of the 13 questions). I'd still have to score that amount of points for the finals to get the grade that I desire. Time passed by. And, in the end. I didn't do a single question. When I looked at the clock, it was way pass the deadline. I thought: Ohwell... it's over now. I'll just wait for the resutls.
This morning. As I was procrastinating in another class. I opened the system. Out of curiousity. To find out that I didn't miss a single question. Which really amazed me. I'm somewhat awed by my "shooting skills".. or if you would, "tembaking" skills. Which reminds me of my mimicking skills. For some reason, I am able to mimick almost everything. Painting style. Dance steps. Drum beats. Soundtracks on various instruments. Voices. Gestures. Etc. Maybe I grew up in an environment that forced me to pick up skills as such. Making everything seem considerably easy for me. OK. I admit. There's a little bit of boasting over here. But wait a minute. I'm just trying to get the message across. Oh.. whatever.
On the side note. I was at this lecture yesterday. A lady from the filming industry talked about her life (literally). From the time she started at a college in MIchigan. To her, travelling to NYU and etc. I must say that it was interesting. A little more interesting that the one about public art by Ann Weber a few weeks back. I particularly liked a short film entitled "Adios". Then, there was this entirely digitalized movie. It was cool all right. But I still like the other one.
Speaking of the world of art. I attended an opening ceremony last friday. At KAC. In conjunction with the department's (Art and Art History) 75th anniversary. There were lots of interesting displays. One. The work of graduate students. Some of which, I feel, needed the artists' explanation to make sense. Afterall, (at least from my stand point), sculptures, paintings etc are forms of ART that expresses the artists' feelings. Something that I longed to do since young. I particularly liked a graphic design piece done by Kelly, a faculty advisor. It was interesting. She 3-D'ed a flat piece. And it worked really well with the patterns and type[s] of that piece. I was undeniably mesmerized. Was also impressed of the various posters that were done, in celebration of the department's previous anniversaries. This was showcased in the "walking through history" room. It was fabulous.
Copywriting seems a little more interesting nowadays. Steinberg's been giving some really good insights about the industry. Perhaps, I've been most attentive recently. Because of the better grades that I'm getting from the class. Also, because I've changed my perception of writing in general. I realized. At long last. That writing can be interesting as well.
Speaking of class, I've been looking at portfolios. They are expensive. So are the laptops. Money. Money. Money. A serious problem. LOLz. But i've been having lots of fun this semester. Despite the heavy load of work I get. I'm getting used to it. And I'm glad. Because it's good preparation for the real world. I'm going to take it easy next semester tho:) That, I can't resist.
Just a picture I took at night. Walking around campus. Taking pictures of buildings can be boring at times. But yet, it can be rewarding at the same time. Because, it is at these times, when you try to make things as interesting as possible. And that is exactly what I like about being a visual person.A little note for myself:
