any-o-the-hows. got loads to update on i reckon.
first things first
james and i were finally intro-ed to one another. ok...so it all started when i went for an extra help drawing session to work on the huge drawing and mind you..i called my prof to double check the timing 5 minutes before i left because i know other classes used the classroom till 7.30pm and she told me that no one was using it. GANASAI i tell u. i went all the way there and she apologised X___X BUT OF COURSE...in front of prof must act nice and polite and say it is absolutely fine (but it is kinda true cos i didn;t really want to work on my drawing anyways. HAR HAR HAR) so i took the bus back and GUESS WHO WAS ON IT ALONE??? james the kimchi boy. (now kiddies. this is how God blesses you when you are a good person and do your homework and go for extra help sessions.) har har. yes. so after alot of hesitation, i finally summed up enough courage and here's our interaction:
taking a deep breath "errr..hi. you're james right?
*kimchi nods head*
"saw your pictures on facebook. you have awesome pictures :)" (all that in one nervous breath while trying to remain as calm and collected as i possibly can.)
*he shyly and humbly shakes his head and laugh.*
i laugh and quickly added "i'm gloria by the way" and he says quietly "i know."
omg..HE KNOWS WHO I AM *BLUSH* lol. this is embarassing. I SURE HOPE I WASN'T OBVIOUS.
anyhows. he went on to talk about going for the alternative spring break and i asked him how he knew cos he missed the previous meeting and he told me he saw my name on the list in the email and that the other korean there told him about it.
hoho. his friends mention my existence. ho ho (blush)
so anyhow, the bus reached arnold and he had to get off and he said bye before he left :) that left me smiling the whole night.
thought of the day: he knew who i was and that i existed!!!
the next day, i had my dinner at JOs and i had to leave early to go attend a talk on archeology in Egypt for art history and guess who i bumped into right outside??? KIMCHI!
this part was funny.
"hi :)" (both saying at the same time)
(both of us realises that and he quickly looks down while i look away and smile to myself)
*awkward pause*
"where are you going?" (both saying the exact same words at the same time...AGAIN)
*another embarassed pause*
i finally say "i'm going to the trustees theatre for an art history lecture. you?"
"cool. me too."
"cool."
and off we headed off together. he half pedaling on his bike as slowly as he can cos i;m walking. so during the walk to the trustees we talked and shared about where we were from and our majors, our abilities to speak both english and mandarin :S, his photography interest and church. he attends a korean church in savannah right now where he helps lead worship in that small youth group of theirs. He still wants to serve in other areas so i invited him down for 180. then we sat down and attended the lecture.
end of love story, on to interesting facets of my art school life.
so the art hist egyptian lecture was really really good. so much so i was able to pay attention despite having kimchi boy next to me. zahi hawas is a reknowned egyptian archeologist who has gone on national geographic, discovery channel and has given personal tours to hollywood stars and even bill gates. it was interesting listening to him. he was a man passionate about his work and he was very humourous about it too. i'm glad i attended this lecture cos i heard about how boring the other lectures were. HAR HAR HAR. we traced the lineage of some of the mummies and expelled myths of murder and conspiracies and we realised that no one was murdered. they died from illnesses. learnt more about the very interesting egyptian culture and what nots. perhaps...i should take archeology instead of psychology for one of my modules that i need to take. HMMMSSSSS... :D PLUS. he has decided to tie up with SCAD and arrange a trip to Egypt where he will gives us a tour to one of the excavation site. COOLNESS. i would so do that to fulfil one of my art history electives!
so my huge ass pastel drawing is finally done. i forgot to bring my camera to class so i didn't manage to take a picture to show u guys for now. but be patient and wait. i'm real proud of this one. i spent a good deal of 20hrs on the coloring so that makes a total of about 30hrs for this whole shit. but yeah. my prof was really happy about it. she dubbed me the best coconut drawer -__-''' and but hell yeah. through this i've managed to train my eye to see color in objects. shadows are no longer black or grey, but have a combination of blues, greens and violets depending on the light around. slowly but surely you start to think you're going crazy when you see colors no one else sees.
thirdly.
remember the house that my friends and i wanted to get but couldn't because we were tied to the stupid contract? well guess wad. the owner contacted us because out of all the possible tenants we are the ones he could trust with his interior designed house that he reworked from scratch. HO HO. so he has decided to compromise and raise the rent by $50 a person per month for a year and then have the rent go back to the original amount cos over the next few months it's a loss of around 4K. not just that. he has decided to leave some furniture behind for us :) yay. money savers!! WHOOT WHOOT. thank God. He provides.
as for the roommates issue, i have decided that i'll choose the room away from everyone else. it doesnt matter if i can't possibly live 24/7 with some people, but at least i can hide in my room and it will be clear that i want to be left alone...like now. nonetheless, i am delighted because now i do not need to spend a single cent on furniture because my future roommates have spare furniture that they can provide for me. and it's near the china market too. which means I CAN HAVE ASIAN FOOD ALL THE TIME THAT I WANT :D :D :D :D :D
my first visit there left me brimming in tears of joy. even seeing the cans of yeos soy milk and vitasoy made me sooo happy. i miss home.
fourthly
there was a drug raid today. they lied saying that we were going to have our air conditioners in the room serviced but nooo....when i went for class i saw 4 sheriff cars outside the dorms and their dogs came sniffing in the rooms. exciting. only problem was my roommate had the neighbouring boy in my room in her bed with her in just their undies and my other roommate might have drugs. i have no idea where the two or 3 of them are right now, but they are definitely not in the room with me right now.
fifth
i'm delighted in the amount of drama that is happening in my room. simply because i am not a part of it and it is always fun and delightful to have abit of channel 8/desperate housewives drama to watch when you don't have a tele to watch. oh love...forbidden love. now i have an extra roommate, a male. thankfully, he's a nice guy :) i think it's really cute watching the two of them in their first stage of honeymoon love life.
and lastly,
i came back from my room last night all grumpy from dinner with michelle and maggie cos michelle was having an emotional outburst on me and i refuse to tell her how i feel about it. it's hard when you keep it inside and after a while she comes in asking you what is wrong and tells u how worried she is about u etc etc. it almost killed me to know that. i'm heartless. that's my line for throwing everything she throws at me back at her.
but but but. i was delighted in a lil gift i found on my pillow.
apparently someone decided to sent me a wuv gram. which is really a love gram...like a monogram..love message whatever for valentines day. albeit really late, but it's not that person's fault. the student services is just too slow.
the red paper says
"to: Gloria Wu
(turner hse Room ___)
happy Valentines day
Love: your secret admirer"
OOOHHHHH. i have a secret admirer.
excitingness.
i just hope the person's a HE and not a SHE and that he is not a creeper or a weirdo.
i have no clue who this person is and i have no idea how to find out UNLESS THAT PERSON TELLS ME. then i will decide whether to honestly and bluntly reject or say wait and see.
haha.
