It's been 2 full weeks of school. And I'm thoroughly exhausted! What I'd done in these 2 weeks felt like what I would have done for a month in the earlier institution I was in!
I'm going to come down with a bad sore throat and I hate feeling sick. Urgh.
Classes here are intensive. Lesson plans are well arIranged and time is fully utilised. And I mean FULLY utilised - I don't even get any breaks for some classes that could stretch from 5-8hrs long. This is especially tiring when the drafting needs so much brain work from someone so greenhorn.
BUT I'm really happy and motivated. I see the pictures in my head (well maybe except for draping class) and I am living my dreams! Well the first part of it actually.
Friends are envious of my situation. But not many people can see the sacrifices I have to make and the negative side of the entire thing. I think most people see it as a fun, glamorous, creative thing. They only get the creative part right.
A friend told me how her friend was saying that there is this attitude about fashion design students here. And we have seen it with our own eyes. It's really unpleasant. But I guess we can't be blamed. Given the rigourousness of this school and course, and the nature of this industry, I think some designers just have to be like that. The environment molds us in a certain way.
Anyway! I don't have pictures to share cos I was too busy Trying to understand the demonstration and getting my work right.

Excitment and anticipation!!!
Completed my intern job orientation. 2 days and the experience is good so far. The culture of the workplace enable me to do my designing properly without much disruption and stress. I guess most of it comes from being an intern - they don't chase after interns for deadlines.
Was tasked mainly to create fabric patterns for bottoms, and some colour blocking for some clothes. While trying to create another design, I accidentally made this: (it could make a very good logo for my own clothing line if i ever have one!) (FYI AJ stands for Ariel Jin Yen)
School orientation tomorrow! Excited to meet my classmates! Because of the nature of this course, I'm pretty curious what kind of people (and the age group of course) that would take up this course. (:
Oh and in just half a day, I picked up some basic skills in illustrator and also roughly figured out how to use a Mac! Oh my. I am a mac convert now. HAHA.
