Despite oversleeping on Monday, I still managed to get to the architecture exam hall 10 minutes past the exam time, and I was lucky enough to dash in before they closed the door. The exam went well though, all but the ‘fill in the blank’ questions, which proved extremely difficult as they were pure trivia questions, and I also had to know how to spell those german names etc... But I did well on the 3 essays so I guess it should be fine.

 

Tomorrow will by my last exam, but somehow I don’t feel that exam-anxiety anymore. Maybe because it’s an exam on Japanese. I guess I should still study because it might be surprisingly hard, like the math exam. But since this time it’s a written exam, I won’t have to ask them to speak slower.

 

I was watching Inukami again yesterday. I’m amazed it gets better. Usually these plot-less comedy based anime gets boring after a while but it seems this one is different. It might become one of my favorite ones...

 

I got mail from Jennsama! Akatsuki/Itachi pins xD

 

This morning I suddenly remembered someone mentioning that there’s an anime convention this December, and it’s already December, so I was gonna ask a few ppl to go but I found out IT WAS ON SUNDAY T_T next one’s gonna be in March =/ Meh, I guess it leaves me time to grow my hair to cosplay Itachi/Jin/L.

 

My younger cousins came over and played DDR like.. a week ago? But they somehow erased the save file and all the songs and MY RECORDS >< got deleted. It pissed me off quite a bit but what other choice do I have? But then it surprised me how much I improved since in two days I got all the songs back (except the last 4 boss songs). I think Alan would officially think I’m crazy when he comes over this Friday.

 

Gonna use this entire week and half of next to learn photoshop and illustrator. Maybe it’s not enough. Oh well at least I want to learn how to color without paintbucket and make it recognize line art that I’ll scan. All I know right now is the concept of layers.

 

Whenever I see good elements in drawings, even if the drawing itself is not amazing, for some reason I’m always inspired to draw, it’s like this voice inside me saying “Let’s make something really amazing!”. But when I do sit down in front of paper, I just don’t know what to draw, where to start, because the inspirations seem so abstract, with no clear goal of what I want the final product to be in mind. In the end after experimenting around to make the decision, I’ve lost that excited voice... that’s why I decided to write down all my random inspirations, so when I do I have a plan in mind, I can re-trigger those inspirations! But when put to practice, it seems inspirations can’t simply be written down. Looking back at those abstract phrases/words I wrote down after a day, I just can’t seem to remember why I wrote most of them. Which reminds me, I think I have a dA account long lost... Maybe I should revive it, or make a new account. After I learn digital measures of art. It will probably motivate me to draw more.

 

Can’t wait for the stream of parties next week!!! Life is so colorful~
