Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

Today, I applied for graduate admission to take self-improvement courses at my old school. Self-improvement courses will give me time to build a portfolio and get my hands dirty again before officially applying to the graduate program. Some of the requirements for graduation really scare me, but since I know nothing about other graduate programs, I don’t know how it compares.
Students are required to complete the program in two years. The good news there is I can’t rack up more than two more years worth of student loans while I flounder around the way I did with my undergraduate degree. After the first year, there is a mid-program review in which the student will either be allowed to continue in the program, or be asked to withdraw. Um, gulp.
At the end of the second year, there is a thesis exhibition and an oral defense. I’m thinking a thesis exhibition would be the proudest moment in my life, and the oral defense one of the most stressful. I’m having difficulty visualizing an exhibition, so that makes me wonder if it could really happen.
I’m getting way ahead of myself though. First, I need to get through the application process and register right away. Then, I need to focus on getting my portfolio together. And then we’ll see.
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
