and then there was a B.
the schoolyear is officially over! my last exam was this morning, and i managed to answer everything quite well. i hope i managed to pull my grade up to at least a B. and i mean, i think i deserve it for all my cramming work~ it's not that easy to read theology and actually absorb everything. ahaha.
the design pseudo-exhibit/presentation was also today. it wasn't really an exhibit, more than our block setting up and arranging our projects around the classroom. i set up my clothes like a clothesline:
many thanks to my classmate lady for taking the picture with her camera phone~ once again i so brilliantly forgot my camera's memory card. i should really just get myself a camera phone. :s that's the catalogue on my laptop~ i ended up just printing the poster because it'd be to expensive to print everything out @_@;;
the files for the mats can be found here if you're interested.
i talked to my design teacher, and as predicted, i'm more or less a sure B for my design class at this point. and i'm okay with it, funny enough. on the way home after the our "presentation" i had a little chat with my design prof, and he explained, in detail what he thought, and why he was giving me a B. he said that he knows what i can do, and that i am a good artist (his words exactly!), it's just that my output kinda didn't live up tp my talent [sic]. or, in other words, it was lacking the so-called x-factor.
i kinda understood what he meant, since i've been feeling kinda slumped with my work lately. most of my recent stuff hasn't been as good as it should be, and i've been settling for just average work, when i know i can actually do more than just that. and if you think about it, it's not like i couldn't have done anything better, since i had time, and if i had just planned everything out a little bit more carefully. ahahahahaha. what else is new. even then, i hope my QPI can be maintiained. i neeeeeed at least a 3. at the very least.
i don't know if maybe it's because i haven't really been doing any design work for myself and just for myself in a while, or maybe it's because i was just caught up in my other schoolwork, or maybe because i was distracted while i was working on my project stuff.i'm glad i'll have some time this summer to get back to drawing and doing fan-graphics/iconage to help get me out of the schoolyear lull, since i daresay i need the stimulation.
then it all comes down to that one little thing that constantly keeps tugging me, the fact that maybe i'm uninspired, or maybe it's because i'm not in the right place. as for the inspiration bit, i know that there's also no excuse, since i'm surrounded by lots of people and ideas. but then again all my "stimulation" around here is usually thanks to the internet @_@;; i think it's more of the setting bit, since during the schoolyear, i'm in such a limited setting... it's literally alabang-condo/katipunan/school-alabang every. single. week. if i do anything else, my grades will suffer.
bleh. thank god summer's here. or at least a couple of weeks of freedom before summer class @_@
i'll be saying this alot more often now i have nothing tod do/think about for class. and since i'm not sure what my QPI qill be like this sem. i hope i get into sophia. :( please pray for me :(
