i thought my life could go back to normal after art.I'd be able to study really hard and finally see more of my non-art friends. But life after Art is kind of bland. no more 11pms in school, no more additions to my paint-stained skirts, no more...less stress. (the stress thing is as indicated by amount of hair-fall which decreased by 60% just one day after coursework submission, as well as the ceasure of spotting, which is a girl thing that some might not want to google about-.-) i havent seen many non-art friends because they all mug without me, and i havent been studying, as i had previously imagined. Seems that my entire academic-conditioning has been eroded. but despite having compromised on the academic content that i could have gathered had i spent less time on my coursework, ive still learnt alot. ive come to realise that support can make alot of difference. my parents were understanding and theyve helped me alot. My mum'd fetch me from the nearby mrt with her bicycle when i carried large art baggages, and my dad helped me with my pipe connectors, consequently hurting his hand. my brother. hm. he says stuff like "jie, jiayou for ni de art ah" sometimes, and i answer grudgingly with an animal sound though its nice of him. esther made me dinner when i stayed late in school once, and even made ginger soup, though i hadnt drunk it because i dont like ginger. loved the pineapple rice. linda bought me 2 sets of paintbrushes when i lamented that my paintbrushes werent the right size once, and i was really touched cos i could only bear to buy one but she went to the trouble of getting 2 sets to make sure i had the right range of sizes and brush types. wanying always asked me to take her dad's ride home when public transport became too much of a trouble because the late nights in school could stretch to 1130pm, and she'd insist on sending me back. we also visit each other's homes very often, and her dad is really funny! She's one whom i can talk to about the distressing life of artists, and i adore her final work and prep boards. chua'd ask her mum to fetch me when i dont go back with wan, and there was a period of time when she'd urge BTW or the latest revised version, BTWN whenever i get distracted, which was great help. (BTW is back to work, and BTWN is BACK TO WORK NOW!!!!) she's also loud, and the art room has more human life...or perhaps not human, around when she's there. hanxi'd always ask about my progress, and when i start to feel lousy and want to give up, she'd be encouraging and give suggestions to help me continue. I even stayed over at her house once so that we could pull an all-nighter and do art all night (though i crashed the next morning). her parents were also very kind to me and i had alot to eat at her house:D i cant possibly mention all the help she's given, but its been incredible. pearlyn sends me texts sometimes asking me to be careful when i go home late, or reminding me that i spend too much time on art so that i dont neglect other subjects:) she also asks me along to lunch and stuff even though i cant join them on most occasions. Most people would have forgotten or decided i wasnt worth the effort after a while. amanda saved us all. simple as that:) samantha struggled with me so we didnt feel too alone. Ms Teh made me feel more hopeful about art, and she's really funny, as well as is a wonderful teacher. Ms Gao gave me some good advice, like not throwing my drawings and stuff away even though i may be really tempted to do so, as well as documenting my work with backups so that if my computer crashes, i wont lose everything. Along the way, other friends have helped by texting and asking me how its been going, and ive also heard that heather asked a junior not to do her silkscreen on my coursework space because cleaning it is quite hard work. It was really kind of her to keep a lookout for me(: Weiqing's spontaneous hugs have also been very much welcomed. so what i had truly wanted to say is, thank you:) btw (by the way, not back to work) i woke at 5pm today, having slept since 12 or 1am last night. 5pm. i never got to see the light. finally, on my bed since weeks of staying up or falling asleep on the couch. :D pearlyn, the matcha sweet that you recommended is nice:D and stop talking about me with weian behind my back! Yall keep describing my hedonic lifestyle as art, sleep, art, sleep. boo. |
