Well, that's about as far as I can write in Japanese about the great difference in temperature. I used to feel that my workplace is very cold because my boss sets the temperature at 23/ 24 ˚C and I always change it back to 25˚C. But now, it feels very nice to be in a cold office. October isn't supposed to be so hot though. It's like July and summer all over again. I get reminded of the summer holidays of Roxas ( where he didn't really get one and that's why I have a grudge towards Soran) , and I am working during my holidays. : / It's very strange too, because for an admin, I'm doing an awful lot of designing for posters, brochures and stuff. Not that it's a bad thing, but I think my efforts are rather amateurish and I have to consider printing cost. I do the printing on the office's multifunction printer. Recently, I've just finished printing and cutting about 260 A5s myself using a long metal ruler, cutting mat and cutter. I feel so accomplished. Hehe. I did 2 poster designs this week too, one for advertising courses ( I literally used it to explore composition space ) and another for the Esplanade concert ( Italian music playing musicians in an Italian painting ). Rush work but I like it. I wished I had more time to make the name plate look more realistic.
I don't feel like doing my homework. It's been a trying semester and I suspect the typography lecturer is biased. She likes the works of people who do and rush their work one day before and completely disparage the efforts of others. I'm switching lecturer next semester. I won't be learning anything much. I have better crack open the typography book I bought last month to learn by myself. I got the inspiration to do my locker design after reading a Dummy's Guide to Graphic Design and thinking about KH.
Every time I use Illustrator, I learn new stuff on drawing with pen tool. Still getting used to it. My Adobe version is CS4, and some of the stuff have different shortcuts. Maybe at the end of the year, I would try to do a full digital work on Illustrator.
Jun Hui and I made crack sentences in Japanese class last week. We were to use the directions to make sentences. She started it with アンーゲアルと ギンーネシーの 間に ザークが います。(Lit. Between Angeal and Genesis, Zack exists .) So I went 神羅の 外に クラードが います。(Lit. Outside Shinra, Cloud exists. ) And then our Japanese teacher came by. O.O -_-'''''' I think she was wondering why we were laughing so hard.
Jun Hui: 私の 後ろに シェーフィロンウが います。
Me: 彼が 大好きですね。。。愛してる？
Jun Hui: いいえ、アーリス ナインが 愛してる～
Me: '_' * looks at card * 隣。。。キングダムチャインの 隣に 約束の御守りが あります。(Because I can't remember what's Oblivion's name in Japanese. Omoide something )
Because of Sora's singing Under the Sea, I was singing it on the way out of class. On crack, I was. I wish Geraldine was in the same class.
ソラ：隣の 海藻は 青く見えるさ
セバウチアン：陸に 行くのは 大きい間違い
永遠いの 見て ごらん
Under the sea -> 海の 下に？
Jun Hui says it should be in the sea. So it's 海の 中に？ Sounds like the sea swallowed Sora, Ariel and Sebastian…
Geraldine and I were trying to figure how to say Axel is in hospital. Our textbook says 「アクセルは」病院です when someone asks アクセルは 何処ですか？。But that's like saying Axel is the hospital. So I think it should be 病院に です。However that seems to answer to アクセル？So maybe 病院の 中に アクセルが います。That sounds like the hospital ate poor Axel up so Axel in inside the hospital. I need help in verifying. JPLT 4 and above people??????
I'm looking forward to the work holiday at the end of the year. I'm going EOY 09 to cosplay with friends. Then rushing works for sale for SOY since Geraldine and I decided not to get a booth for EOY ( it costs $45!!!!) -__- Probably will work on the artworks after History of Graphic Design exam on 30 November. All of my exams finish in 8 days. Introduction to Asian Art (Japan) and Japanese Language Level 2 are on 23 and 24 November, a day after AFA 09 which I am thinking of skipping because I feel that Kairi wouldn't finish in time and I want to study. But I want to see Kaname, that Cloud cosplayer. He's damned good.
