Hola?

Today a classmate asked me if she could take my picture because she liked the two birthmarks that I have in between my eyes... Hahaha. It was so random, but I was very flattered. Even though I see my face every morning in the mirror I never really took note of those two birthmarks. I remember when I used to go on elementary school field trips in Beijing, and the local people would stop my Caucasian classmates to take pictures with them, because they had never seen Caucasian people before. So this felt kiiiind of like that. Sort of... not really.. but it made me feel special anyway!

On another note, today I met up with a long-lost friend who I haven't seen pretty much since kindergarten/1st grade, from back in Hong Kong. I never thought that the next place we would meet would be in Barcelona! Turns out our moms (who are long-time close friends) are coming to visit us on the exact same day too. We are thinking of traveling to Morocco together... just the four of us. I am super excited :D.

As for school, this has been a killer week. My biggest final is due this coming Monday but it needed to get printed by this past Wednesday, which meant that I pulled my first full out all-nighter on Tuesday night. I was staying up until at least 3 or 4 am every night in between... Whew! It was exhausting but satisfying in a way? I'm still far from done with finals, but I think I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Today was our last Exhibit Design class before finals so our teacher invited us to have class in his design studio. It was a really nice way to end the semester. It's really cool being at another design school and experiencing how everything works compared to RISD. In terms of workload, it definitely has the same intensity if not more...

Anyway, time for bed now. Going to paint a mural at church tomorrow :).
