Post-mess

It’s been a month since I last updated. Well, ya all might think I’m as free a bird now, but no. What people need to understand is that our Diploma show is in a week and we still have many things undone. PS: Diploma show is what showcases our 3 years of hard work through models, animation and a yearbook. And of course, display needs design too.

So I’m in the box committee as well as the PR of the communications team. The box committee is basically well, simply put, to paint boxes to display our works. Thing is, our theme is Spectrum of design so we need 40 boxes, each of a different colour representing one person. Good thing’s that the boxes are almost done. But it’s labour intensive to have to move everything to the Design Space and decide how to maximize the use of space.

The PR’s a little more complicated. I’m the face voice of the team. Calling up people to ask them to sponsor our year book (compilation of works in a printed form), inviting guests to our event. And invitation might sound easy, but my in-charge says we need 3 waves. Once to send the teaser to get them excited, once to send the poster to show the main details, and once to invite-invite them, be it through phone calls or emails.

Of course, I shouldn’t be up so late but I think this place is forming cobwebs. Oh did I also mention I have to send my online portfolio? Marcus (lecturer) gave me till tomorrow morning, but I plan to do it when I wake up, avoiding him by not going to school. Since I found out I’m not the only one who hasn’t uploaded the things.

Wow, thinking of all these is started to make me feel a wee bit stressed.

Oh yea, also helping my plus one to do his summer holiday project, but we have to do it secretly in school because he’s not supposed to be in the workshop. And he can’t operate machinery either.

After this Dip show wave, I’m going to help mom set up a booth and an online website for her future business. I’m excited for her but at the same time worried. Who wouldn’t be when your parents have tried so many times to start a business? The worrying is not helpful in motivating me to help her. But of course, I’ll be paid. I’ll be a designer with a diploma by the end of April. (if all goes well).

If we run out of things to sell, I’m considering working at Scruffy’s. Where da jie is currently holding a part-time job. The people and the environment seems nice. But I guess prayer is more important.

Alright, enough with my ranting, says my left eye.
