Inspirational words

January 24th, 2010

Feeling: hopeful
Melody: Kimi no Shiranai monogatari – supercell

Hope is the fuel that the human heart runs on. A car crash or a driving accident can paralyze a body, but the death of hope paralyzes the spirit.
Hope is what prompts a young man and woman to stand before a preacher and promise “I do” even though they have no guarantees.
Hope is what fuels the same couple, many years later, after broken promises and broken hearts, to give their promise another try.
Hope is why human beings keep bringing children into a fallen world.
Hope is why there are hospitals and universities.
Hope is why there are therapists and consultants and why the Cubs keep going to spring training.
No composer would agonize over a score without the hope that some glimmer of beauty will emerge from the struggle.
No parents would agonize over a child without hope that the child might live a better, nobler, happier life than they did.
When he was an old man, the master painter Henri Matisse was crippled by arthritis. Wrapping his fingers around a brush was painful; painting was agony. Someone asked him why he kept painting. He answere
d, “The pain goes away; the beauty endures”

That is hope.”

Some inspirational words I read this week from John Ortberg’s “If you want to walk on water, you’ve got to get out of the boat” book.

Back to life

January 12th, 2010

Feeling: hmm….
Melody: Beethoven’s Tempest Sonata No.17, Op.31 – Movement 1

Speaking to you from class xD (yes the picture there is what I’m seeing in class)
And I’m eating dinner right now at the same time.

Anyhoo,

First week of school. Well, no, now it’s my 2nd week. But 1st week went alright, still can’t believe I ended up with….7 courses this term though eheheheh…..^^;;;

This term:
-Intermediate Japanese
-Piano Accompanying
-Classical Piano Performance 3
-Time Based Communication 2
-Design for Public Awareness
-Self, Society and Design
-Design Internship

So mostly lecture courses aside from the first 3 which are year-long courses so those started in September. Time Based 2 is my only studio/practicum (as we call them) course which sucks cause I wanted to take so much more T____T  *sigh* oh well, my grad year is going to be really…..fun then xDDD;;;

Design for public awareness I think is going to be an awesome class cause we’re actually going to be participating in community projects in the area so I really wanna do my best there to have something cool for my portfolio x333 And…yep, so not a total loss.

Yep….other than that….the next few months will be devoted to school and portfolio work.

Internship.

Both a scary and exciting thought. *x*

1.5 hours to go in class…
