Portfolio Day at Emily Carr (beware: long post)
Yesterday was the National Portfolio Day, held at Emily Carr Institute Art + Design + Media~ (<-- what a long name...)
I spent Friday night packing my stuff and organizing them into the right order. I was surprisingly kind of nervous for it...I thought I wouldn't be.
My Portfolio all packed up~
I left at 10:30 and got there at about 11:00. It wasn't as cold on Granville Island as I thought it would be. Or maybe it was because I had my big puffy jacket on. I went to check out Emily Carr and people were already lining up for their art schools. There were in total 24 schools there including Emily Carr. I only had to line up for EC so I wasn't that desperate to get in line that early. Besides, I won't be able to go to the washroom once I get in line. >_>
So, I went to the Market Place to relax for a bit. Mostly to find a place to sit down with my load of crap (I had my big and heavy portfolio case and two bags containing my box and my mixed media piece). When I sat down, I couldn't eat much, which usually happens when I'm nervous. My sis bought me a cup of coffee to give me energy for later. Then at about 12 something I went back to EC to line up.
I saw the twin sisters from my studio in line. We never really talked before but Portfolio Day does something to everyone. They told me where the end of the line is so I migrated there. A person with an "Ask Me" name tag gave me the form to fill out along with EC's 2003 Catalog book thing. It was really hot for the first half of the line-up cause I think there were less air conditioners at that part of the hallway. I was too lazy to take off my jacket (I took off my big puffy one before already) and if I did, then that would mean one more thing to carry. As if I didn't have enough crap already.
I had nothing to do during the line-up so I just stood and...well did nothing. Oh....my studio teacher was there walking around. She went by me twice and even gave me a box of tic tac~ ^^ It was the orange flavour one too! hee~
Now let me tell you about the one major thing that totally pissed me off throughout the whole line-up. There were these ANNOYING people behind me and they were so UGLY....so LOUD and so STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap....they were two couples to be exact. The first couple were the loud, stupid and ugly ones. The other couple were only stupid and ugly (yes, they were A LOT quiet). The first couples were smooching sooooo freaking much!!! They were soooo loud when they were talking and their laughs hurt like someone rubbing sand paper on your face. They were so ugly, they wouldn't even have to dress up for Halloween. Once, the girl even had a tambourine which she played while singing a song she randomly made up on the spot. That made me SO ticked off it wasn't funny! The tambourine was REALLY loud and sharp....my poor ears...T_T
Then during the middle of the line-up, that crazy couple left for a while to go somewhere....you did not know how happy I was. XD All of a sudden the place became so quiet like a huge storm just left. The other couple was still behind me though...but they were more tolerable. When the first couple came back later, I was too tired to care anymore.
The line-up lasted about 2 hours for me (My feet were sore then). By the time it was my turn to go in, I was brought into a big room where all the EC counsellors and chairmen were. The first thing that I noticed about my interviewer was that shes and old lady.....and an old person = possibly one of the chairmen!(My teacher told me that) If that lady really was the chairman, then I would get into EC!!! I would be sooo lucky cause there are only two chairmen out of all the other 30 something counsellors in the room, and those two are the only ones who can accept students into EC on portfolio day. I'll have to wait for the letter to see if I got in or not. It would be around the middle of this month when I can recieve the letter. bah...I can't wait that long! >_<
My interviewer was really nice. I think she said her name was Elizabeth? I was too focused on getting out my stuff to pay attention. My interview didn't take that long. I wonder if thats a good or bad thing. The only thing she criticized about my stuff (mostly about my notebook) was that its all too "complete". She wanted to see more rough drafts, experiements, and stuff that showed the process of my works. Other than that, she complemented on my skills, organization, and ideas. So I really don't know if she liked my stuff. Oh well...My teacher told us not to take our interviewer's comments seriously. I'll just wait for that letter patiently.....very patiently...
Okay...I'm done rambling. If you finished reading this whole thing, you have no life.
My left arm is sore. I think I slept on it funny...
