intership offer

on saturday i skipped class
to attend International Creative Studies workshop
its a company who wants to educate the future designers
and offers classes that school or any other places doesnt teach

the company, ICS, was organized
by real working professionals
that also teach at several colleges in korea

it was one day workshop
in short period of times
i had a chance to take three classes
1. 5mins and 1 hour: design exercise class
2. sound design
3. theory of color
most interesting class was color class
it def opened my eyes in different way
i wish it was longer
the professors there were very talented and well educated
couple profs. from pratt
one prof from cranbrook
..etc
it was def honored to meet real working designers/professors

the end of the day
we watched the movie, objectified
and had wine party/protfolio reviews

i only had two projects in soph.

and current projects that i was working on-

i had good critcs from those professionals

and unexpectly, the designer who graduated from cranbrook

asked me if i need an internship-

and he would like to work with me winter or summer

i found out those designers also own small design consultancy called, FEIT

we shared our business card and ended the day

hopefully i get more offers

so i can choose right internship for next summer//

it was def productive day!!!

(also i get to see my friends too!)

yay me!

letters

i love letters!

i love email, facebook, chat...video chat

but mostly air mails are the best

i dont care i receive it or not

just the surprise and happiness the person

who will see my letter in the mail box

makes me so happy!

(even though i have to wait 2 weeks for the person to receive...)

(i can be so patience when it comes to air mail)

so far i received five letters from two of my friends :D
