Feb. 04 2006 ....traffic in downtown is always like this?

Saturday.

Design 1 instructor Margaret Griffith sent mail and invited whole class to a group show gallery reception that included her works this evening, next to downtown LA.

I took off at 16:30 and I was sooooo lost in traffic, and sincerely this is the first time that I've ever been in downtown this late. The reception started at 18:00, when I smashed myself out of traffic to Carl Berg Gallery, it was already 16:40. I was badly faustrating because I promised a friend to arrive on time.

The gallery was basicly jam-packed since the moment I stepped in til I left like the traffic outside. There were not too many artworks in the show, but all wonderful by the meaning of craftmanship, idea, or skill. Margaret's piece was the lagest, hanging on the wall with her constant architectural style, right by the entrance hallway, very identical. There're two interesting drawings in the back that use charcoal pencil to do ink brush-like overlaping and smear over with cotton bud with water....I could not really tell the process but the overrall was incredibly complex.

Didn't meet the friend, Margaret said she left few moment ago before I stepped in. Right now typing the blog I feel soooo sorry. :(

Phone rang.





"What!!!???????"

"Your NEWclass will start on Thursday at nine o'clock in the morning.

So I'll need to check out the funny situation.

Time: 13:00 Wednesday
Class: 08:00~13:00 16:00~19:00
Status: homeworkgalore, confused.
Loc: Enrollment Office

"You're moved to another class?"

"I don't wanna be schedualed on Thursday morning."

"I checked the note, you cannot go back to the original class."

"....but I..."

"You can't."

"I want to know why."

"You need to talk to =========, will open the office after half hour."


Half hour later.


"I'm not in charge of this, talk to ++++."


Ten minutes later.


When I arrived on the office, two other classmates are already there with same problem.


"Why didn't we get notified? You should've told us that earlier."

"You are moved because it's back-to-back with Ann's Illustration Now, she said the class will get longer so you won't make to South Campus in time."

"So you just plugged us out in the third week?"

"Other students already noticed the back-to-back problem, only nine of you are forced moved."










".....hmkay, what about the homeworks and grades from the previous class? The new class?"

"You have to talk to the new teacher by yourself, here you go, glad you miss one week only."

"......."

"We are very sorry about the situation. :)"

"..........."



So I walked back to workshop with new handouts from my new instructor while homework full-handed.




Cheers, I love writing. :(
