My First Day At Art College: There Was None

During orientation, they briefed us on what to expect for the coming semester.

They also said, "It's been a trend that the Comm Design students will slack during the first 3 weeks, some even the first 3 months,"

Gasp! 3 months is basically one semester lah!...

"So we're going to give you a small assignment,"

Assignment: Avatar/Artifact
Create either an avatar or artifact that communicates your personality.

Today is induction day. And then I realised a HUGE problem.

Where do I go for induction? I must have missed out on the details during the briefing. Do I follow my timetable?

Oh wait, I DO NOT have my timetable!

I cannot log on to the Student Portal to download my timetable because the username or password they sent me does not work. I e-mailed the service desk for help last night, but still haven't heard a thing from them.

I was on campus this morning, hoping to get to speak to a human, since I needed immediate attention. I dropped by the IT office, only to find myself not able to get any human to speak to. I was only asked to write down my particulars on a SPARE PIECE OF PAPER and was told, "They will email you to your personal email address," in Pan-Causeway accented Mandarin.

I walked off giving no response whatsoever.

Then I tried calling the lecturers. None of the two were available. So what was I to do???

First day at art college; basically there's none at all lah, huh.

I suppose this first semester week is still very messed up. Perhaps I should just cut them some slack, seeing that they might still be busy settling in the new campus.

Anyways, during the briefing, they did tell us about our project.

They said we were doing on TYPOGRAPHY!!! Yay!... I love typography!

There's this lecturer who wore Cheap Monday skinny jeans! See lah, art college is just different lor. I got a very positive first impression.

And talking about skinnies...

The crowd at Lasalle is fabulous. I absolutely love it. PEOPLE PUT IN EFFORT TO DRESS UP.

That, for me, is very encouraging and extremely pleasing. I mean, for once, I won't feel like I'm over-dressed. A huge sigh of relief.

However, it is true that most people dress similarly:

Skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans, skinny jeans...

I believe that the art college has the highest occurence of people wearing skinnies. If not skinnies, then leggings and tights.

Of course there are the occasional 'fashion misfires' lah. You have people looking like freakshow escapees, no doubt, but at least there's the effort right.

Maybe it's the light through the fibreglass roof, but the people are looking hell GORGEOUS! There is a very high concentration of gorgeous people, for some very strange reason. I have to admit that I've never seen so many GORGEOUS people gathered together.

No wonder they built the school with glass through and through. BECAUSE GORGEOUS PEOPLE DESERVE ONLY THE BEST AND GORGEOUS PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE SEEN.
