Wow...It's been a month since I've posted another entry...Couldn't believe that time flew away so fast. In fact,so many things have been going on that I have neglected posting for quite a period of time.My sincere apologies for that...Ü
But as promised,I'd try my best to make time to update you peepz...So here it goes!Ü
It's been a month since the start of classes, and by now, I could further tell you more about things happening in my life.College life to be exact...
Like I've mentioned in the last entry, I'm now taking up Interior Designing in the University of Santo Tomas.And like most of my blockmates, I mentioned that this has been my "dream" eversince.First few weeks of classes were still cool.Having longs breaks since there's nothing much to do yet.Just the first few introductions to what we're gonna learn and familiarizing ourselves with our new environment.But as the weeks passed by,soon,our schedules transformed from being "maluwang" to being "tight".Sometimes even "too tight". Nevertheless, our first experiences in the university remained unforgettable.Ü Things like, having to take a long walk from our building to the other areas of our school,doing researches in the school library,eating wherever place we could find in case all restaurants were full,experiencing heavy downpours and flooded streets and etc... As for my course, here are some of the things I've learned regarding it.Designing interiors might sound easy and practical to do.Up to a certain point that others even think that it's just about colors,furniture arranging,make-overs,renovation...Some even believe that anybody could do what interior designers are ought to do.As for some of us,we expected the same such.Little did we know,how much you have to go through first before you become one professional "IDR" It's not as easy as it seems to be.Neither, is it what it seems to be...
According to our professors,Interior Design doesn't deal on arranging furnitures and designing interiors alone.Before doing so,there are so many things to learn and apply.You couldn't rely on your artistic ability alone as most of us thought so in the first place. You have to learn to deal with measurements and logic,applying geometry,free-hand drawing,using your wildest imaginations,rendering(coloring),sociability and so much more.
So upon conclusion, I believe that Interior Designing is a bit of everything.Art,sociability,math,language,dealing with relationships,psychology,science,history all come with it.Yup...As stated,you have to learn all these things before you could create an effective design.Plus pass a board exam! We have the obligations to change people's lives through our work.Make them feel happy and comfortable,designing rooms or pads that they could call their own.Be it a bedroom,an office,a clinic,a store...NAME IT!.Ü
So in order for us to be able to fulfill our "dreams" of changing people's lives and making the world a better place,we have to go through all these...Dealing with ink pens that blot and are so hard to erase,drawing lines without using rulers,dealing with drawing pencils of different shades and rendering techniques in using them,using scales and metric tapes in measuring...Even if we have to measure a millimeter or two...Hardly seen by the naked eye...All those kinds of things and yet more to expect in the future as the days pass by...Translating to MORE EXPENSES...
So much for that...HEHE...:P But we also find simple joys in accomplishing our plates (works or projects),rewarding ourselves by eating ice cream(almost everyday!), bonding with some of our blockmates be it breaktime or classtime...Trying our very bests to think that what we're doing doing is enjoying and not FRUSTRATING at all...After all, we ended laughing our heads off...Ü Despite the pressure in accomplishing every school task,homework or assignments. and having "raccoon eyes" in just a mere month! Haha!:P
I guess this is COLLEGE LIFE....ENJOYING DESPITE HARDSHIPS...You learn to succeed after failures,you learn to do things right after committing mistakes,you earn everything by giving your best and all are from your every drop of sweat.But whatever happens,never lose hope or let situations hinder you from achieving your goal.Always have your mind set.You just have to try and never cease in doing so.And don't forget to trust in God and draw strength from Him.Standing firm in your faith and always keeping in mind that with Him, anything's possible...Ü
