Waiting Is A Kind of Giving Up

After the mid-term exam and club exhibition, large parts of important mission in this semester have been over. There will be still two complete months then. It was also the last two months in my collage life. In fact, there is something we have ever wanted to, but we didn’t due to some reasons or even the excuse. The movies or some photograph works about some meanings might be what I want. However, such a works need lots of help by others. Composing music or performing music need also, but I have had a good environment and great partner in clubs fortunately. It was time for us to change, after I finished my lyrics works last months which I hadn’t tried for a long time.

I think the first works we have to do is about the photograph works. We have already found out some good material and subject matter. By a Chinese poem, we have to transform into a visual photo with a story. It wasn’t too unfamiliar for me. Nonetheless, to finish some works with other might felt more pressure than before. We would not be responsible for ourselves only anymore.

And then another works will be taking some films. In fact, we have to do two or three works at the same time. There are for some different purposes or even homework. It will be possible for us to conduct together, but some ideas might be exchange each other, said be mixing disorder. We had written the story and finished the script. It was the bigger works than photographs, because we have more scenes and we have to find some places which are not easy to go. However, we have more time to finish them. We might take in these two months, and cut and edit in the summer vacation, or we can also take some parts of them in the summer vacation. We are not sure at all, because it is hard to predict anything when you have to collaborate with others.

Another Practice

After the long story, I return to my own statue, not an engineer or even not a student. It is a gift which is from our own faith and values. Thus, I have a long span of free since March, and then I would have six months totally. However, it is impossible for me to just relax all day long during this free time. I have made some plan before finishing all exams. It was as same as the time when I was a freshman in the college. Each one might want to try something special which we hadn’t done before. The last time I wanted to learn some instrument and music composing skills. This time, it might be the Industrial Design, art, or even animation.

In fact, three of them connect each other. Visual works are always built on the painting skills, so we have to improve our skills first, chromatology and how to processing light and shadow especially. In the university, I had ever tried to join some clubs or courses about these domains. One was photograph and the other is architecture. It is helpful for me to learn these things certainly, but I still want to make some effort from the beginning.


However, it might be such a big plan that I couldn’t handle all of them at the same time. As a result, I separated them and put them in the different time parts. I think my life would be three different spans. One is from now until I would graduate from the collage. Before that day, I will have to go to school three days a week and I still have to spend some time on studying three or four courses. Having a full decision-making power of my own space might be an advantage. Thus, I need to learn how to use 3D Graphic Application and improve my drawing skills first. All I have to do most is practice and practice. I think I have found some good source material. Moreover, reading some books about art might get some motivation. It would be more than two months in the future. I hope I will make progress during these time.

Tunghai University

It was a special case for me to visit Taichung again. I always think that there are lots of my friends have lived in Taichung for many different reasons. However, I seldom visit them in fact. Thus, it was a good chance for me due to too much free time for me this semester. Except Taichung, I will go any other cities which my friends live in. This time, we didn’t have own vehicle. Thus, we have to go anywhere by bus.

As usual, we arrived in Taichung at ChaoMa in the beginning. The traffic in urban district in Taichung is awful, so we had always avoided these places as far as possible. The main goal of our plan was going to visit some school in Taichung which we hadn’t been before. However, I have been there for many times, it is impossible for me to go too much places where I haven’t been. Thus, we still made a decision to go to Tunghai University first. It was an old school which has bigger schoolyard than other private schools. On the other hand, the building in their school is famous for the different style. For example, such a flower garden might be in an engineering institute. The weather wasn’t so bad at that day, we just enjoyed stroll in the schoolyard. In fact, it was the second time when I have been here. Nonetheless, it was another yard where isn’t too far from the main yard. The department of music and some kinds of college of business is at there. The buildings in there are the newest, but they have to pay five dollar to take the bus for backing to the main yard.

Taipei Zoo

Taipei zoo, where our clubs (CKFGEISC) have wanted to go for many years. These years we take place many kinds of activities already, such as the camp for cadre members, traveling around the island by train, or even just going to Taichung or Ilan. However, we were always used to prepare bigger plan. The trip which is about going to the zoo might be such small that we always neglect and forget it. As a result, we thought of this idea when we were freshmen in the university, but it have never fulfilled since that day. Fortunately, due to the effort of some members, we finally decided to go to the zoo in this spring vacation.

Spring vacation, which is about five days’ vacation, is in the first week of April. Nonetheless, there are still some differences between different schools. Some started earlier and some even had none. We choice the Friday for such a trip, some still could not here though owing to the difference of vacation.
