New Start

Filed under: School, All — Gina @ 5:01 pm

So I transfered to Ai California-San Francisco. After all the hassling between two schools and running back and forth to get all the paper works done, I had my first week in Ai. I attended all of my classes and trying to catch up a little bit. As I expected, of curse, I don’t know anyone in the class at all; I was so quiet and nervous all the time. Since I missed the whole first week(paper work, paper work, paper work), it is nearly impossible for me to “take it easy”; lots of homework are due next week already.
I think most of my classmates are in their second year to third year; they seem really happy and are good friends of each other. I didn’t dare to talk to anyone, though I should definitely try.
Unlike in Academy of Art University, the school life here is more intensive; I felt like I am back to Ai Vancouver. When I was in AAU, those courses were so fundamental that I got bored all the time; now my classes are really challenging and interesting.
I hope I can make some new friends soon, so I have someone to talk, have lunch and do homework together.

Finally I finished this class, it was a really nice experience. I learned a lot and sort of enjoyed this course, not so sure whether I am going to keep this thing going or not though. Anyway, I always think painting is just the matter of how-to, other then that, all I need would be just inspirations and practicing.

到 Arrived

Filed under: Life, Friends, School, All — Gina @ 7:47 pm

台灣時間1/19 23:25,起飛。
原本要約著見面的Karen鬧失蹤,四處連絡後還是放棄了。
往美國的班機還要多一次安檢,幸好放在手袋中的護唇膏和保溼凝膠都有順利過關。
昨夜平安到達San Francisco,算是一切順利,雖然Karen還是沒有連絡上,但也沒精神多管,梳洗之後便就寢了。
深夜終於連絡上Karen,說是明天才到,虛應一陣,蒙頭就繼續睡下。
一早去銀行開戶,又辦了手機,也看了幾間房子,但是都不合意。
舊金山真的不比溫哥華,街道又臭又髒,而且遊民也比較多,走起路來心驚膽跳的,好幾個街口,密密麻麻都是遊民,只得繞道而行。
當我上到nob hill要看房子的時候,竟然跟了一位流浪漢在身後,坡道又陡又長,我也只好無奈的死命爬,爬到坡上,那流浪漢竟然還稱讚了一句:strong girl!害我心裡怨聲連連,還不都他害的! :mad:
坡上的房子其實真的不錯,但是需要co-signer,所以只得放棄…
Karen終於在傍晚出現,但是我累壞了,連飯也懶得吃,早早就窩床上,連動都不想動…只希望明天一切順利了~!
