[ 夢土上 ]

It's a rainy and chilly day in spring. This afternoon, I went to see a house off campus and meet with the landlord who is going to rent a room in the house for me. That was a sweet tree-floor house, which was in a elegant style, decorated with claret wood wallboard and sharp roof, and had flowers and bush surrounding by. It is just like a house that I always dreamed about when I was a child, watching all the cartoons and reading fanciful story books. My room will be at 2nd floor. It' would be even better if I could rent the attic. Besides, the location was perfect. The house located just across the campus, and it means that I can walk to the art building within 5 minutes in the future.
.
As you've known, I am going to move out of the dorm next semester, and start my new and exciting life in fine art study again. I miss the smell of oil paint that filled classrooms, stairs and hallways. I miss the life that only thinking about what's the new work I'm gonna do next.
.
And of course before all of these, I will come back to Taiwan soon. There is a dreamily beautiful summer waiting for me.

SO LAZY~~

Sunday, the last day of this break. ...繼續閱讀

10pm...It's spring break already...
.
The New Paltz campus is so quiet...and there are only few international students still stay in my dorm. This building is suposed to be closed, but we asked our RD to let us stay secretly.
.
I'm going to Montreal and Quebec in following a few days.
Yes! I'm going to Canada! SEE YOU~~

There are two news...
.
First, I'm going to the Armory Show in New York City tomorrow. It will be an extremely huge gallery fair which promotes new artists and famous art works to collectors and patrons. Yes, it is a business place, and I'm going to see how expansive those works are! Art can and should be a good business in certain ways. It is what we have to learn in New York and bring back to Taiwan. I'll take pictures as many as possible and show them here.
.
Second, I got the first acceptance today...Oh...finally! :)

Yesterday was a chilly day. It just snowed a little bit, but wind was so strong. I went out in this cold day with my friends to Bard College, which is a private school close to New Paltz, on another side of the Hudson River. It wasn't an interesting trip, but I didn't care...I was glad to have a chance to hang out with friends. It's always good to go somewhere, not to stay in a small room. There was a special theater on campus, designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, who also designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain. The theater wasn't that amazing and beautiful...at least this building didn't give me a big shock when I saw it. However, I did envy this architect so much because he can materialize his crazy ideas to beautiful buildings.
.
We couldn't go inside because the theater was closed on weekend. After a short stay, we walked back to the parking lot in frozen wind.
.
I got a rejection letter from Rutgers when I checked my mail box after coming back. "It's so fast..." I thought. "But...I still have 7 schools." I was depressed, although I tried to tell myself that the result will be good. Whatever, I'll go to NYC...somehow, somewhere.

What's going on, man! Isn't it spring?
I've already put my boots and snow jacket in the box...
And is it going to snow again?
Ha!

Uhhm...I got a box from the mail room today...
Emmm...I think...
The weather is good today, isn't it?

Last night, I went to Galleria Mall and Wal Mart in Poughkeepsie with my friends. I bought a detergent, a piece of Hershey's dark chocolate, some grapes, 5 California navel orange, and an American Eagle white track jacket. After shopping, we ate dinner at a Chinese restaurant "Dragon Buffet" there. The food was not good...but also not cheap though. I miss Dim Sum in Boston Chinatown...
.
It was about -11°C last night, and also windy. When we carried our stuff in the parking lot, I really didn't feel very good…ha... The temperature was still pretty low this morning. When I went out for my bagel and hot coffee, the earth and grass under my feet was cracking. Lately, the earth is abundant in water because snow has already melted. When the temperature turned cold again, the water in the earth became frozen and hard. I love frozen earth so much. The color is light brown and there is usually some frost on the surface. I like to walk on it, feel the little cracking under my sneakers, and also look at the beautiful shining frost under the early light.

It’s the beginning of my Sunday morning.
