lost in void

After presenting my work for the "Promote Yourself" project in Digital Portfolio class, I felt so empty. Maybe it's because the tension has finally tuned down a bit, but it gets even worst when I saw amazing works from my fellow classmates. It makes me ponder about my work, my style, the quality the outcome and how the market will look upon it someday. Will they even glance at my work? Do i even have a chance out there? What can I really do??? What is my strength in this Multimedia Design ...WORLD?!!

Now i keep asking myself this. I am very very scared. But in a way, there are good things that comes during that period of presentation and the mentally torturous moment. At least it gives me the time to think more about improvement, self confidence, and making MORE MORE MORE effort in my work. Do more research and references!!! I realized i don't really do any referencing. It all just sort of pop up from my head just like that. It is a good thing at 1 point but I don't really think I improve much.

huh. I'm in dilemma. T_T maybe should go and see counselor.
I will do what I can to be better.

2) You have at least 3 kinds of tape. They are all completely different, and they all serve completely different functions. But you know what they're for.

3) The naked picture on the screen for figures class does not arouse or disgust you because you’re too busy trying to get an ‘A’ in the class.

4) Your lecturers almost never give A’s in figures because (and they repeat it often) it's not 3D enough, or your strokes are wrong.

5) You're not as surprised by crazy fashion senses anymore.

20) People are always shooting films or taking pictures.

21) Despite your best efforts, you still manage to get paint, pencil or charcoal on some part of your body, somehow.

22) Vision Art has run out of supplies at least once, and it was a long wait for the restocking.

27) You know how to pronounce gouache.

28) Your pencils and erasers beside you go missing but other stuff you leave in the open are still there.

29) Sleep is a privilege, a rarity.

30) You get tired climbing up 3 flights of stairs, even though you do that almost everyday.

31) You are not the only person (anymore) who has reads manga like a bible.

37) Out of the 30 people in your class, at least 27 of them are Chinese, and at least one of them wears the same clothes all the time.
