Yay!
(NOT EDDITED ENTRY/POST)
Today was spendid.
I managed to speak with Mr. Hoffman, my philosophy teacher (great guy), about my current situation. I don't think I can pass this course, and even with my efforts, the time spent would be taken away from studying for my other courses. So he said he'll talk to my mom sometime this weekend. I have to talk to her first so that she won't feel...shocked. Nevertheless, I will try/attempt my best...I think. I want to. Hoffman was really patient and encouraging too...says I can make it. (Thank you, sir.)
Afterwards, while I was waiting for Mr. Crucco, Mr. Cubellus (sp? name right?) said he really likes my work. And I'm pretty certain he's not mixing me up with Michelle CHAN. He even asked me if I am to be a mentor next year. =) I can take a hint =). And then he kept joking saying how he'd like a piece of artwork in his office. =D And the mentoring thing? HECK YA! Just need one more signature...
Mr. Crucco came out with me to the pillar. What a guy! I thought he'd be too busy to be away from his desk! But he personally went with me! So then he said the lantern he wanted will be at the end of shepard's hook. He liked the idea that I wanted Daphne to hold the staff end.
Plenty of teachers and some classmates dropped by and talked to me about the pillar. Custodians included. Plenty of compliemnts. Mr. Rooney asked what's the meaning behind it. Oops. I said there was none yet. I didn't give a reason, just smiled shamefully. Another teacher said to read more about the myth of Daphne more. So I did.
I have a habit of putting down images and emotions onto a canvas first before I can put my reasoning into words. Feels a bit like cheating, I know. So after much editting of the first version, and repeating that process for the other versions, I think I finally and confidently put my concepts into words about the pillar.
I won't do it now. I gave too much away already.
I lost about an hour of working because I accidently knocked over the white paint. NOOOO! White paint is precious! Thanks a bunch for Olivia for helping me with her awesome-conservative-cleaning abilities! =D
Mike C. convinced me to go see Our Town.
After Olivia left, I was completely thirsty. I have been stressing how was I going to draw my figure's arm. Is it in porportion (sp?), is it too long, buff, or anorexic (sp?). Etc. So anyways, completely forgetting the vending machine was jammed, I shoved a toonie in. It took 2 custodians, 3 paperclips and 1 clothes-hanger to eject 2 loonies out from the slot. Thanks, guys! And then one of them offered me a refridgerated bottle of water for free! Yummy! Oh, and this was during the black-out. So that's also about 15 - 30 minutes in total.
Went out to eat dinner with my family (mum, dad, phil, and grandma). Came back and washed my pants since there was unpleasant white paint streaks on it. Oh sh---
I forgot I have 2 loonies and my pillar draft in my pocket. They're wet. But drying on a napkin...hopefully the words, measurement numbers and stuff can still be read.
And what made my day better? I just found another way I can get my pillar done faster with/without my partners! =D
And what made my day the most splendid of the week?
One of the custodians mentioned my brother, at first I was confused because how could he have known that I have one. Then he said he saw a guy before pointing at the pillar and say 'my sister's'. Awwww, Phil!!!!!
I won't embarass you, because I know you'll never read an entry this long.
and what start this was a good friend talking and treating me to basket robbins during c lunch. =D
