Life is so boring. I can't find any purpose for it anymore.

Just came back from chalet. It was fun! NSRCC is isolated so I stayed there throughout and we bought plenty of food and prepared our own meals. So fun! Watched movies and BBQ and played cards and bowling. On the last night we sang along as someone played the ukelele (so cute!) and then we opened the lightsticks and sparklers that I brought and went down to the beach to take photos and sing nice songs while someone played the guitar. Haven't felt like this in a very long while. Having fun without a care in the world. Stands to reason one of the songs we played was Fun's We Are Young. :D Times like these are hard to find.

SCHOOL. SCHOOL.
SCHOOL. SCHOOL. SCHOOL. EVERYDAY I'M SCHOOLING. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. EVERY SINGLE. BLEEDING. DAY. Fuck. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF IT. SICK. AND BLOODY TIRED. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH ONE CAN TAKE AND EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING DAY I AM IN SCHOOL. I'M GONNA GO BATSHIT CRAZY IF I DON'T GET A CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT SOON.
In all honesty i like what i do and i enjoy it. I still do. But this has been one of THE CRAZIEST SEM EVER. AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SWAMPED WITH SO MANY THINGS AND EVERYDAY I GO TO SCHOOL. THATS THE THING ABOUT PROJECTS. YOU CANT DO SHIT INDIVIDUALLY (not all the time) SO YOU END UP IN SCHOOL DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. And eventually you just get so sick and tired of it.
I consider myself lucky. In the slums that is our studio I have a table to call my own. It ha been hardwon, staked out, and beaten into the collective concsciousness. The jungle. When we shifted studios we weren't supposed to have personal table. But NO I needed a space to put my things. Especially my sleeping bag and safari bed. So I kept returning to that table and claiming that chair until it was MINE. Automatically mine. When studio started kicking in and models littered the entire place and people complained about not having places to work, my table was still mine.
I have a safari bed and sleeping bag. Combined, they are the height of luxury, the Ritz-Carlton to the Holiday Inn of the hard surface of the tables. Comfy and blocks out light. And yet, despite these possessions and this territory, I tire of this place. EVERYDAY. I CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH IT HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON MY SANITY. I THINK I AM ONLY FEELING IT NOW. I WANT OUT. TODAY I WAS HERE AGAIN.
I thought tomorrow I could meet outside. Edit our book. Then print it and be done with it. But NOOOOOOOOO we have to shift it back to school to meet again. AGAIN? AGAIN. YES FUCKING AGAIN. BECAUSE SCHOOL IS MORE CONVENIEN. Convenient how? Convenient in the sense that both of us have to travel 1 hour each JUST to meet in this hellish flourescent-lit dungeon where cell reception enters a black hole and no natural light enters and there is no night nor no day nor no concept of time. This is hell(physical environment-wise) compared to other people's school.
SEE.
I think it's a miracle we can even do creative things here in such a monotonous environment. I think I've finally had enough of it this semester. I seriously need to get away; to get out of here. I still have to endure until Tuesday. Tomorrow once we are done I AM GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS MY LEGS CAN CARRY ME. THEN TUESDAY I WILL FINISH MY PRESENTATION AND GET THE FUCK OUT. I DUNNO HOW MUCH LONGER I CAN STAND THAT TIMELESS BLACK HOLE.

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe some congratulations are in order. I have managed to survive this week, unfortunately at the cost of lack of sleep causing me to oversleep and miss two morning lectures. Sigh. =X Not intentional, I promise! I have managed to do my interim presentation to the company and also banged out V2.0 of my mobile app to show today. 4 hours of photoshopping last night till 430am. But, all is not over yet.
That's why I don't use silly terms like Hell Week. Pffft. It would be so hard to keep track of how many there were. Complain so much for what anyway? You're better off spending your time doing work. Pshhh. Do le then it's over.
Over the weekend I have to:
1) attend a design event on Saturday,
2)group discussion after,
3)and then celebrate my mom's birthday on Sunday.
4)Also need to fit in time to sketch stuff for my biz module,
5)do up graphics (brochure storyboard etc),
6)then discuss further for Tuesday studio and show more development,
7)do up a nicer app for Thursday
8)oh one more thing, study for my midterm on Tuesday.
Tomorrow I need to collect my 'A' level cert to fill up my DUO exchange application before the 15th. Hmm. Don't know if I need to start work on Materials class. 2 more things to do. Outstanding.

OMG what is this. I feel damn stressed. I feel damn fan2. =( Is this how being stressed by school feels like? So far I've always been happy with what I do but this sem seems amazingly busy. A long line of things awaiting me to do. Having to coordinate everything is killing me. It's a stressful time for Tues studio cos we're presenting to the company next Wed! Need to ideate more, sketch, and review the stuff we saw and develop our 3 concepts further and make quality slides. I'm fucking soloing Thursday studio cos if u ask my groupmate to do anything might as well not do so because it's won't result in anything presentable. Last week it was fun but I had the advantage of recess week and I don't feel like touching that project now dammit cos of the sheer number of changes I have to make in a Photoshop file that has what, 130 layers?
For my biz mod the students refusing to do online survey preferring us all to ask 5 people each a set of question. Apparently what my SMU friend tells me about the importance of market research does not apply to NUS biz. This is a super busy week and my Urban group is asking me to do work but I keep on being occupied by Tues studio. GAAAH. Weekend do Tues and Urban, then it will be gone in the blink of an eye. I still need to do my survey for biz! And find time for Thurs studio. I dunno whether to laugh or cry.
