Mondays

I think I have a love-hate relationship with Mondays this semester.

On the down side, my Mondays are my longest days. I start school at 8.30am and have a second class from 3.30pm to 8pm. Between classes, it is usually filled up with meetings. So essentially, I can vote it as my longest day in my whole SMU life.

On the up side, the company is great. I spent my Mondays (8.30am to 3.30pm) with my SP groupmates: 3 year three boyos who have been doing projects together. They make the lesson and the meetings erm.. entertaining… with crap talking and jokes. Vf is the head crap talker, and tk is the backup crapper who sides vf cuz he know he will lose the battle if he takes his own stand :P. wj is often on neutral ground, sometimes on their side, sometimes a receiver of their jokes too. I seem to be always on the losing end, though I try my best to hold my ground… the rest just goes right past me. I think my ignoring skills have improved 

Although I have to admit that at times hanging out with them is rather draining (considering that I tend to have very little energy in me in the first place. My ‘energizer’ battery only functions up to Week 2 of school term now), I still do enjoy it.

Last Monday, I had two virgin experiences. One was my virgin non-caderas related Frujch experience. The library is soooooo dammmmnn crowded on Monday afternoons that Frujch might just become my new hiding spot. Had a Chocomint milkshake which did a pretty decent job on brightening my Monday. 

The second virgin experience was me finally doing my own design using Photoshop/InDesign for my VDM (Visual Design in Marketing)assignment. I’m sooooo proud of myself. LOL. Really! VDM classes usually work like this: Prof will first start class late, he then teaches for about 15 mins to half hour about some concepts of design. For the rest of the class, we are grouped randomly to do the assignment for the day. The practical assignments are a really good idea, but it is ABSOLUTELY DEPRESSING when you DO NOT know how to use Photoshop! (My OS system dieded so I did not have my lappie with me for several lessons). And considering the time limit and a missing lappie, I never got the chance to get hands-on experience. Last week was an exception cuz the assignment was pretty much an individual assignment….and I’m just so proud of myself! Haha. I know.. a bit bhb, but I suppose I finally learnt a tweeny bit of photoshop? It’s far from fantastic. but nonetheless a stepping stone? And I think I get a high from using Photoshop.
