Graduating

I’m graduating… and I finally feel at ease saying that out loud. Tonight is the college graduation, tomorrow is the university graduation. And I can’t be more excited for this. Why?

I’m cum laude.

I found out when I was paying my graduation fee yesterday before the general rehearsals. I was wondering why there were red words next to my name in the list. Then I found out my grade reached the cum laude standing…

All I could say to myself was…

What did I do? Cum Laude? Ohmigosh!

My expression was so different from the 19 other people in Fine Arts that got the title. They were so proud and actually expecting more. (It’s a general view, not everyone had it). But I was happy, and content and surprised all at the same time.

No, really. It was highly unexpected, no matter how many people keep telling me that they think I can make it to the rolle. I never expect things like this, because I don’t want to hold onto something that I might not get in the first place. Especially when I don’t work as hard as the other people around me and I feel that I haven’t done much to the fullest of my capabilities. (Remember me ranting about that Humanities 2 paranoia of probably not being able to pass it? I have a grade of 1.5, thank you very much.)

I’m just really glad things turned out the way they are now. I’m intoxicated with the happiness am feeling right now, I think my heart would burst. After all those sleepless nights, stressful plates and reports, challenging exams… here I am.

And it’s another proof that life does get better, each time you fall harder.

What’s next? Find a job? One step at a time I guess. One foot after the other. No skipping. It really feels odd now, that I’m graduating…

Finally! Me getting the job to make that HaruToki Fanlisting has been approved! Now, I have another site to create and finish in time!

Life Does Get Better

After all that’s happened, the feeling of restlessness has subsided. No longer worrying about the panelists’ reactions, no longer thinking so much about acads. Finally, the long wait will soon be over.

It is almost upon me…

I don’t want to pre-empt such things so I won’t say the word. Since I am still unsure of the things ahead, but at least the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter this time around.

In response to the last comment before regarding how I think I did in the presentation, I was actually unsure. All I am sure of is that the tension came first before I even spoke. And that made things a bit different than I planned it. Even my adviser told me I seemed tentative answering the panelists’ questions. And I admit it. I have never been good at public speaking…

Now, thinking about it– I can no longer do anything. What’s been done is done, so I shouldn’t let my mind linger on to that and look forward to (at?) the things ahead. Which I am!!!

I’m up for that summer schooling for that short course and will be applying for ‘internship’ at a big TV Network. Whooo… Really looking forward to it!

And down the stretch I come

Yesterday, my dad and I had my 3 4′x4′ works carried to the car to be framed at home. Will bring my staudies home next come tomorrow.

Collectively, all the three large paintings are heavy. Up til now, I still could not understand how I helped my dad carry all three of them into the car. Most probably adrenalin rush, since I still had a class to attend that morning and I was getting late. It was a good thing I wasn’t tempted to skip that class. I came in late and saw that we have a pop quiz/ exam. Lucky for me, the adrenalin was stil flowing and my brai was working.

Hehe.

Came the dreadful Humanities 2 class, and lo and behold! I got 17 out of 20 items in our quiz right. My all time percentage high for the class! That shows some promise smiley

Okay, I said this was a thesis rant, so I’ll go ahead.

Thesis Encounters

It will no longer be installed to be hung on the wall, to my relief. The works are not totally dry yet and I had the fear that the whole thing could drip while I was defending it. Just because I mixed different media that aren’t usually seen together -_-;;

And it will no longer be framed in glass to my disappointment. A thin frame of aluminum that is virtually impossible up front will be used instead. Just so, the sides are clean. My adviser had a point. It shouldn’t be obstructed by a thick frame since you’re looking at an ‘unlimited’ view of a landscape. And at least, it won’t cost as much.

And I just recently found out that I can’t leave my works under extreme sunlight or heat. They melt, being oil-based are most of the mediums. -_-;;

.. . … . ..

Thesis Defense is on March 31. Goodluck.
