An egg rolling and tumbling on the table, as if it was struggling for attention. Trying to break free of it's shell, was a chick, yet to be born. Looking at the senario breaking out in front of me, somehow, i felt like that little chick, that little egg.
headlines, "science student fighting for a seat for the Bachelor of Fine Arts", that's me. though i admit my lacking in artistic background, unless you take primary school arts club as artistic background, but i will not concede defeat. i believe in the idiom, "where there's a will, there's a way", the exact believe that pushed me on to reach the top of the mountains to see the worthy view from the top of the world and drive me towards being a top-notch bowler. a target i will not miss: grabbing BFA, failure is not in the vocabulary.
i'm such a muddlehead to have forgotten to solve the mystery behind the headlines. my interest in designing has never failed. i've never really been a good writer or a fast one -- the reason behind not being in the arts faculty, because it would mean failure -- but my imagination and designing hasn't left me, they're in my blood. but yet again, i really haven't had a chance to design something to show off, unless you count designing the school team shirt and being class designer.
but not just interest, i'm thinking ahead -- my career, and where i'll be deemed worthy. that internship in ARCstudios, an architecture firm, prodded me into action to persue my dreams. in that month, i dragged myself out of bed at 6:30 to get to work, but everytime i step into the office, i felt life injected into my veins. although work was tiring (because there wasn't a day where you won't work more than the actual working hours), but it was enjoyable. turning a dull rectangle into a sky scraper people would admire, crushing a piece of lined foolscap to make an exceptional design, making sponge tree models, those were the things that most scientists, lawyers, accountants would laugh at (exactly what happened when i tried to invoke some creativity during my stay at AIA). but to designers, those were worthy masterpieces.
i can't turn a dull eye to where my interest lies, i can't just become an engineer to earn bucks and hate my life. this is the turning point, where the ore is refined to become gems. it's not just why i choose BFA, it's why BFA should accept me.
