it is now that time I report of the interactions with NABA (Nuova Academica Belle Arti, the school i attend in milan, the city that i live in in italy, the country i live in on this earth, the planet that inhabits life....). so, school has begun and i haven't got my schedule yet but that is okay because that is just how the system works apparently. I came to a few realizations today. First, was to let go and just go with it, not because i don't have a choice, but because this is how it work. Thinking about this and writing it down has made me come to another realization. This has been the game since i even decided to study abroad. walking into a dark cave and not knowing what lies ahead but thank God some tools drop down from the sky and find the holy grail. Anyway... back to school. so it was raining quite hard today, and I wasn't sure which presentation i should attend because i haven't go my classes yet so i planned to attend both. The first one i believe was more on my level but the second one was quite entertaining. I must say though, I'm glad i have chosen a major in visual communications because without the visual aides i think i would have had a difficult time following. This is when my other realization came, I'm going to have to work twice as hard, to grasp an understanding of what is being said plus produce work and learn new skills and techniques and exams! wow. haha. anyway. i'm in for a ride. and inspired to create. i can't wait!
cultural awkward moment: after the presentation everyone rushes to the back table to sign the attendance sheet pushing and grabbing and i just stand there waiting. but i'm not even on the sheet, that is probably because i'm a foreign student i guess. i think. yeah.
wow Kristi... that touches my heart how you wrote about letting go and going with it ever since you had this idea of studying aboard... inspiring tears roll down my face as I write this... I hope the CS4 collection is put to good use over there any you are able to use it :)

ReplyDeleteSometimes walking into a dark cave is the best choice you can make. I know it will work out well!
