Is it me or is it what I think it is…
A while ago I was attending a class about sound / music. Our teacher was a friggin’ hippie!!! Long hair, Chucks, torn jeans and a black shirt with a flaming skull in front and a skeleton hand giving the finger with the words "F*ck Yeah!". Damn, you don’t see teachers like that in the P.I. f*ck no, HELL NO! But anyway, he was cool and a very kind teacher IMHO. Anyway the class is all about editing and arranging sound effects…pretty cool huh? Yeah the subject is cool but my classmates weren’t.
We were supposed to be grouped in 4’s unfortunately…no one was willing to approach me or even talk to me…I can sense something here…is it just me or is it what I think it is.
White people stay with White people, Black people stay with Black people, Asians…well they tend to be alone. I am one of them. it was like 3 Asians in that class…I think, I’m not sure if the other guy was Flip or not.
Anyway, is it racism? Or is it my abrasive personality? I have long been a loner except for a VERY SELECTED circle of friends whom I have close ties with. Anyway is it me or is it the system here? I’m not so sure myself. I perceive, sense it and I perceive. Although it is too early to say anything about it…I’ll be giving it a month or two and see where I goes from there. So far in this assignment…I’m going to be all alone in this "supposed" 4-man team assignment.
The second subject was fun…finally a class that will teach me Adobe Illustrator. The way they teach is very fresh, new and exciting for me since the f*cked up P.I. has this form of "formal" education where they just teach you and that’s it. Here f*ck no, we have a PUB night…sponsored by our Program Coordinator Mr. Tedford. Booze, pizza, cigs and best of all, creativity. According to him this is where all the "Artsy-Fartsy" students gather in the college, go to the "Hive" and party the night out. Yeah, you read it right, PARTY the night out. Man I wish I could go but I have no mode of transportation, no "close" friends and it’ll be like I dunno. I’m afraid to go, maybe when I do get close friends…I’ll be able to participate. Oh yeah, they’re also selling 3DSMax books for like $150 a book, check out how much it’ll be in the market. ~__~ And one lucky student will be given I think a CS2 suit courtesy of Adobe. Sounds fun eh? I wish I could really go and get my hands on that original CS2. >__< Oh well, back to my portfolio…
Among other things… -12° C today, the snow was around 5cm to 6cm thick and I couldn’t be…happy? LOL This negativity in temperature has made my ears, nose and hands to fall off. I’m serious…I could not feel them. And yet back home when the X-mas season was kicking in or the month of November when the cold winds were blowing…I was like a cat drowning in freezing waters. ~__~ Well I think I’m gradually getting used to this negative temperature, I’ll be living here for quite some time or even the rest of my life so I’d better start getting used it.
Meh…in the end…I have assignments. ~__~
TTYL Y’all.
