mid terms are always the time to hear good things about yourself at mid term conferences. haha. I've never been so appreciated in my life to simply just pay attention in class and be there. apparently, my habit of anti-change works for the professors who can always find great comfort in finding me in the same seat smiling (i dun even think i smile for no reason..i only smile because they are SMILING AT ME FIRST). i think there's been only one class so far in my entire few quarters here that i've kept changing positions and that was CMPA class. but even in studio classes, it's been a great habit to just stay in the same spot. which i guess annoyed my professor because we were supposed to try out different positions. BUT BUT BUT...he also told us to come in earlier to grab the best spots and it so happens that the best spot is always where i've been standing at!
anyhows. back to mid term conferences. so.....apparently teachers here have a strange habit of starting off with "I have bad/distressing/terrible news for you" when they talk to me. and being the kiasu singaporean i am, i check black board every day for my grades, so i know there is absolutely no problem with my grades that i have to worry about. but nonetheless, i play along and act worried. i've heard reasons like "I need to fail you because you are too good and I want you in my class (sounds so creepy stalker-ish)" or "I can't let you leave this class so i'm afraid I'd have to hold you back" or "gloria..you're a great and wonderful student...but you're not top in class" lol. i don't really care about being top. so long as i'm doing well and doing the best that i can, it's totally chill. which i'm quite surprised to find myself thinking that because i would think i'm quite competitive in some areas. but i guess just knowing that im somewhere on top feels sufficiently good enough for me. haha
ah well...i'm both half happy and sad for this quarter to be ending soon. for one, i really enjoyed the classes and the suitable balance of workload. ok...it was damn slack. but that's the whole point. haha. the professors have been wonderful and so has the people in some of my classes. ah well. but there's something to look forward to...next quarter! gonna be back to drawing naked people with a wonderful professor who is a wonderful artist...i've seen his portfolio and i am so inspired and excited for his class. PLUS....he is good looker...and...so is my art hist professor. hur hur hur. it always helps to have good looking people to brighten up ur day..esp for boring classes like art hist. and i'm taking lit from my english composition's prof's new husband. awkward.
my past 2 consecutive nights of dreaming have been an odd mix of taking care of sunday school kids complete with stun gun tagging game and traveling on an entirely brand new mrt system to places i've never heard of. but it sure was convenient and fast. last night's sunday school dream involved escaping some evil murderer or torturer and i had to lead the kids to protect themselves and we were racing cars to escape and stuff...pretty funky. i love my dreams. they enable me to do things i'll never get to do in life. heh heh. fun!
