First Academy will keep me occupied
First off, the title. I don’t mean that updates on this blog
will halt again (why do I keep posting about how my updates will halt anyway?);
and I don’t mean that First Academy will give me an occupation (my God that’s a TERRIBLE pun!).
So what’s the deal? I’m currently taking up Saturday classes of the Web Design
course, and it takes around 4 hours per session and 11 months to finish.
All of this, of course, takes place on First Academy of Computer Art; it’s a
school of some sort and it offers training to a lot of art-related computer
skills such as web design, digital arts and 3D rendering. Located at Buendia
near the be-seen-places-of-college-students-trying-to-look-rich
(a.k.a. Rockwell or Greenbelt, pick
one), the school promises to provide rigorous trainings and to ensure that
students come out well-equipped in their chosen subjects. I choose web design
largely because I do plan to create a web site dedicated to how awesome I am (but
that’s a secret, so please don’t tell anyone. ^_^)
Today’s the first day of class, and I’m expecting that I’ll be quite busy for
the next 11 months just catching up with my studies. Hoo boy, do I miss the
kind of pressure unique to any academic curricula! So anyway, was my class
today any good? Yes. I learned quite a few. Although some of the concepts of
HTML have been pretty familiar to me, I feel like this is just the start of the
vast arrays of knowledge that will come in this short time. There’s an
"encouragement" for students too, to assure that they don’t go home
lazy and drunk and forgetting the concepts. After each meeting, all of us are
given a few assignments that we have to submit the next meeting; so of course
there’s coercion for everyone to apply what they learn. And you know what else?
We will have a project and a final examination! Awesome to Whoopie-dee-yay-do joyful
onomatopoeias ensue!
If the previous sentence sounded sarcastic, let it be known
that I’m saying this without any irony: I’m enjoying my class. I feel like I’m
finally fired up to do productive things again after weeks of procrastinating
what, I don’t have a clue. I like this feeling. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt
that my teacher is absolutely appropriate for teaching how web pages should be eye candies. I have to stress though: her good looks are ancillary, the same
way as how you don’t read my blog just because I’m cute ^_^.
So yes,
Flirts Academy
… oops…
First Academy sounds fun!
P.S. The conceited remarks are all fictional : P. I don’t
think this highly of myself; I’m just bored and desperate for antics.
