It’s sigsheet submission day and I completed my signatures just in time! Whew!
I had the pages wire bound and I dressed up the covers for a little style. The tabs on top makes it easier to navigate to each person who signed it.
The front cover expresses my thoughts on Interior Design and the Design Core org
The back cover tells a little something about me
Next org activities:
Though happy from yesterday’s idleness and the little break I deserved, it’s back to reality once I got home. There was still so much to do for the group report on Indian architecture and interiors!
The powerpoint presentation was assigned to somebody else, but I had volunteered to source out movies with architectural references that we can show to the class (as an extra feature, rather than just the usual presentation). I found Gandhi (which is a treasure trove! Good thing I remembered we had a DVD of this), Slumdog Millionaire (which wasn’t much help besides images of the Indian slums and Taj Mahal), and The Love Guru (which had more use than Slumdog but is so very very Hollywood-ized so we can’t really take it literally). I spent most of last night and this whole morning (I had to miss my tutorial class, too) to finish scanning each movie for usable scenes and noting the time stamps.
I don’t really want to talk much about the report. Just that it was disappointing. I really have high standards with these kinds of things and if I were the prof I would fail us for doing a pathetic job. We did give some useful information but the organization of the report was far from perfect. We could’ve done better, that’s all.
Oh well. Big sigh. At the moment, though, I was just happy that it was over and done with. So that’s something to be thankful about.
It’s submission day for the 20th Century Chairs plate! And the Egyptian, Greek and Roman furniture plates as well…. right? Apparently we were supposed to render the latter ones in class for the next two meetings. And I finished them last night.
So while our prof graded and commented on our 15×20 boards, the class was supposed to render their plates. And I finished them last night. Yuz. Last night I finished them.
I watched my classmates paint.
Oh, and our boards were returned on the same day, which I hadn’t counted on. I’m all dolled up for a monthsary date after class and now I have to bring along this board all around Trinoma! I even ended up attending Starbucks Coffee seminar with it. Yay for student-plate bonding! yaaaaaay~
Wasn’t I supposed to do this when classes were suspended?
Yeah right. What student in their right mind would do what they’re supposed to do at the proper time? Haha! Give me a break!
Fresh from last night’s cramming session (which I submitted properly and on time, by the way), here I am again doing what I do best. No, I wasn’t referring to drawing or painting. I meant cramming. Part 1 of the plate was an Egyptian furniture piece in watercolor. Nothing special about that. So far all my rendering/drawing plates have been in watercolor.
an Egyptian folding stool (minus the seat, tho)
To redeem myself from that cramming stint for ID10, my plate for ID24 this afternoon wasn’t crammed at all! All my classmates were in a frenzy but I was cool as an oyster shell in a seafood bar.
Oh wait, we did cram the handouts for the India report, tho. argh!
But of course, how could my dear friend Procrastination leave me? We’ve been together for so many years it would be unthinkable for us to part ways now.
So I found myself cramming again. But to tell the truth, I actually enjoyed this particular cram session, maybe because it was rummaging through magazines to cut up and arranging them and gluing them onto boards. In short, it was my ID 10 scrapbooking project. (more…)
six more to go! …orz
Spanish Colonial Motifs
American Colonial motifs
Whew!
For the first time classes in the College level are suspended due to rainy weather. The handouts for our ID 24 report were supposed to be submitted today, but I got a message from my groupmate that Chancellor Cao had declared the suspension of classes (FYI, UPD is not covered by CHED suspensions/announcements/declarations because of our autonomy despite being a state university).
With a brief (though unresolved) exchange of messages with my other groupmates, we ended up not submitting our handout (which wasn’t ready anyway). Then I remembered that we were scheduled to have an in-class plate on my supposed class today (ID 114). I texted the prof directly because I didn’t have any of my classmates’ numbers. She said to just do the plate at home and submit next meeting. Okidoki, then.
It never fails, though, that when classes are declared suspended, the rains cease to exist.
Nah, not fame. I just spent around 15 minutes there in the library before it closed. It’s more like non-fame, since I did not know anybody nor did anybody know me. Well, it has been three years since I visited (except for one nighttime talk I attended more than a year ago).
After class and another CHE library raid with my classmates I ran off to Arki to meet with my 2 groupmates. I was supposed to be there earlier but I wasn’t so they were already going out by the time I got there. Not wanting to waste any time and effort, I decided to go ahead to the library and squeeze out what little time I had left before it closed at noon. I got a tiny bit of info, but the library was closing for lunch and I had a ton of work at home so I’ll just have to go back some other day.
Work is catching up on me:
ID 24 Handouts and Group report on Indian architecture and interiors
ID24 Motifs plate – 12 Ethnic, 6 Spanish Colonial & 6 American Colonial motifs drawn and rendered on watercolor paper
ID114 Chairs plate – 10 20th Century chairs (from Arts & Crafts to 1990’s) with description on 15×20″ board, mixed media rendering
ID114 advance reading – furniture and interiors of Ancient civilizations: Egypt, Greece and Rome
ID10 Scrapbook – depicting the 7 educative goals of the College of Home Economics and relating them to Interior Design
UP Design Core application – progressive
Whew! And that’s just the academic/UP-related stuff! I still have volunteer tutorial and the occasional sideline. Busy, busy, busy!
