Yes! I think I've had more than enough rest. However, thinking craziness of school turned me down a bit. I was nervous, as usual.

We were welcomed with pizza for lunch on our first day of school. There are much changes in our department, and we, students were given update for what to expect this semester. I am glad for the changes. Our program is a brand new, yet there's thirty-year preparation behind it. I believe the changes will make it better. On that moment, an excitement filled me. I was glad to be back to school! Besides that, our studio is the same as that of last semester. I loooove my spot. It faces window where I can see a lot of activities down there and old-stone library as a deep foreground. This picture was taken at the end of last semester. At this moment, my desk is still clean, so does the entire studio. Soon it will be packed up with trashing papers, drawings, models, pictures, books, etc. This studio is my second home. Some students will bring sleeping bag, blanket, sofa, electric kettle, microwave and refrigerator. You'll see some unexpected stuffs like hammock, iron, grill, and toaster.

First meetings of class somewhat make my stomach queasy. Now I know the pattern. It's when a professor read the schedule and grading point. I thought I would treat this grad school easily, and wouldn't care much about grade. I thought getting stressed out about not getting good grade is so undergrad and so vain. The more I tried, the more I know my nature But, I still don't get the point of too emphasizing on discussing grading point. Professors will repeat this again in the middle and the end of semester. Moreover, I don't get why people like to calculate what grade they have earn as semester goes on to know how many more they need to get an A. Such a wasting time. I hope they don't miscalculate. I would just do my best.

I've step 'the' conveyor belt - I'll get 'moved' whatever happens. Once I realize, it would be next week, next month month, spring break, Easter, then the end of the semester. I am busy already. Busy with homework, work for my professors, my freelance work & cleaning my house. Like what I said to my friend, I complain a lot, but I enjoy my life
