My first post for this BLOG





Listening to music that sister made for herself and that I took it away from her. They were good. I have been listening to them only when I get a break like after each BIG exam, called mini.

On my way to campus, my landlord said HI to me from behind, I completely ignored her, thinking that whoever yelling out was one of those creepy people that I dun want to be assoicated with.

Greek Guy, who is also FIRST semester, was sitting on his patio, smoking cigar, playing guitar, and drinking rum. This is how he relaxes after exam. Some went to bed early. Some watched Video with friends. I, on the other hands, came to campus to get water & organize studying material for FINAL. No idea how to approach it. At the same time, final is a big part of our GRADE for this semester.

"The imprecision of their goals means that these artists rarely feel they have succeeded, and their careers are consequently often dominated by the pursuit of a single objective. These artists repeat themselves, painting the same subject many times, and gradually changing its treatment in an experimental process of trial and error. Each work leads to the next, and none is generally privileged over others, so experimental painters rarely make specific preparatory sketches or plans for a painting. They consider the production of a painting as a process of searching, in which they aim to discover the image in the course of making it; they typically believe that learning is a more important goal than making finished paintings. Experimental artists build their skills gradually over the course of their careers, improving their work slowly over long periods. These artists are perfectionists and are typically plagued by frustration at their inability to achieve their goal." Something that I found interesting..
