I'm Blissfully a College Student. And it's an Art College! Oh Those Shoes Hurt.

2 : 47 AM, eyes wide open. I woke up around 7+ today and I started feeling sleepy few hours ago and it happened again : I found interesting sites and surfed them until the sleepiness went away.

So let's blog about what happened today.

Do you know those days when you wake up in the morning and feel like you're not supposed to leave your bed? And you know the stories when people don't fly when they feel like they're not supposed to fly? Yea they're not the same. For the first case, mostly, you gotta get up. Thank God for the water heater which really helps to kick-start the day.

The sky was dull, it didn't seem like 8 o'clock, the bag felt heavier than usual, I really don't know why but we felt really tired walking to school. Huah.

But when I was walking to the lecture theater I'm reminded that hey..I'm a college student and that's fun, this is a state of the art college and that's cool, I'm an international student and that's exciting, I'm 21 and that's YOUNG. I should cherish every moment being me, the happiest girl in the world. Thank God for the blessings and everything :)

Lecture today was supercool and strongly related to our everyday (or every-weekend) lives, Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. And Isabel showed us a clip of George Lucas telling us to follow our bliss - eventhough it's not mainstream-, that I really agree with, it's better than just working for money. But what's more important is following God's will no matter what - even it might or might not be your hobby, but you'll realize that's the best and eventually find the bliss - the peace - the real one.

And oh, the studio today, very tiring yet somehow oh so fun, and it burned lots of calories too..! We were told to bring 2 pieces of woodblocks and carving tools for printmaking, quite excited about it but apparently what we're supposed to do was only carving random redesigned alphabets to be used next week. I got the letter S. It's curvy :(

And it's kinda difficult, but you'll get the satisfaction if you manage to carve and cut the woods away smoothly.

After around 2 hours of struggling and 10 reddish painful (a bit) wounded fingers, that's my "S".
We got very tired and stopped for a while, Junwei took mine and played with it, then he realized that when you use it as a stamp everything will be reversed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIII forgot about that.....!

Eh wait2, when you reverse the letter S wouldn't it be just the same...?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA again. It is not. I gotta do it again. Ugh. It's alright. That's a lesson. That lesson burned calories.

Then, after class, I realized that Thank God this is Thursday night! I don't have class on Fridays so it's already weekend for us. Hihiyyy.

Nah couple of days ago I bought a pair of very very comfortable shoes. The comfortable shoes apparently hurt after sometime (and they won't hurt anymore after sometime - if I let my feet suffer for an uncertain length of time that is called sometime). My feet had started feeling the pain when we walked to Ah Mei for lunch (Braised Chicken Noodle - the motto : tasteless, but I like) then it got worse after we walked to Plaza Singapura, then back to school. Thank God we didn't need to walk around in studio.

It's too painful for home hehehe, thank God my roommate and I actually planned to catch a movie after school and she was at home so I could ask her to bring my sandals to the cinema. Painfully walked to bus shelter, then I reached the meeting place around 15 minutes earlier coz I couldn't go anywhere else anyway, I was so happy when I reached the food court. Thank God for the seat. And the milk tea :)
And there came my roommate with my sandals. Terrific relief.

And for the late Thursday nite movie was Toothfairy. Ah, heartwarming!
