"I finally saw my grades online and my prayers were worth it! It’s my first time to have a 3.0 grade but at least it’s a passing grade. I’m glad I didn’t fail Figure Drawing even if it’s a subject that I’m not really good at. I don’t need to take a summer class and for that, I shall keep my promise of 7 church pilgrimage on Friday to thank God for all the blessings and his unending guidance throughout my struggles this second year college."

OWYES, look who's not taking a summer class!!!! :D

HELP!!!!! :O


RIP to my friend's (Jan) laptop.

So my friend's laptop finally rest in peace after weeks of battling with a virus. Apparently, she's not the only one experiencing that.

The virus came from Joli's (an art supply store nearby our college building and the only one that offers various printing services). It affected a lot of USBs (including mine) and to the point that some files became corrupted and became nuisance for my classmates who were supposed to be submitting files in various subjects. When I noticed that my USB is acting strange, I decided not to use it anymore until I get a decent anti-virus. Good thing that email, Dropbox and Facebook are there to store my files for me. It's a hassle to log in but at least I'm sure that my files are safe.

I also tried searching for alternative printing shops as well. There are some that's much cheaper but I know there will be times that I'll end up in Joli's. I'm saving up to buy an extra USB that will be a temporary one (a USB that I can format immediately every time I print again and again).

Do you guys know a good anti-virus that works well and for free? I don't want a noisy one like Avast for the love of Christ.

:) :(

I’ve been very busy and my hell works really got into me since February. I suffered arm/shoulder pains, sleepless nights and even getting a week of fever with coughs and colds on my actual prelim week. I also got depressed because my grades aren’t satisfying and my art skills are even worse than before.

Last Wednesday, I have completed my submissions for my major subjects. The time and tension was tougher (along with the minor subjects) but even though we stayed up late (or didn’t slept at all), it was all worth it. I still have one major subject (Photography) but I’m just gonna choose my best shots to be uploaded on Flickr.

I’m afraid I will fail my Figure Drawing subject though. My prelim grade was low and my final was a failure (and I feel so bad because I was very satisfied with it and I had the hopes that it will pull my grades higher but no). I’m already expecting to fail that subject since last semester anyway. I hate to take a summer class but it’s much better than taking it next semester. At least, I’ll be doing productive things this summer and I’m also practicing my art.

depressed

I've been working hard on my art on all subjects but the results are either unfinished, crappy or given a low score that was far from what I expected. I'm already getting sad by my lack of artistic skills. I'm always intimidated by the works of others and I'm always wondering why can't I do the same? I'm always working hard but I'm afraid I can't meet the expectations of others, especially my parents.

I'm very passionate with art but I'm starting to doubt if this course is really the one for me. I feel like I'm just doing my art just for the sake of academics. The way I do it is no longer as passionate as I always did before.

I don't even know if I still want to continue or just give up. I know I can't quit this course, not after all the huge expenses on my tuition fee and materials. I don't even have the guts to tell my parents about how I've been feeling lately.
