Over the past few weeks, especially with the Grade 12 graduation out of the way, it has hit me: we are the new graduating class. With less than a year to go, I look back on high school; it has had its ups and downs, but I think that I'm coming to a place where I'm finally at ease with myself. And now, it's almost time to go? It just doesn't seem fair. The bright side, I can see is the new experience university will bring, but even then, I don't know WHERE I am going at all. Be it, the USA or England, Canada or Belgium, Italy or France, it's all new to me. The worst part is, I feel like I have grown attached to UWCSEA, so much so, that I don't know how I'll react when it comes time for me to let go. I'll miss the UN Nights, the plays, the SEASACS, the chance to be an activist everyday, bubble tea trips (not like I ever made any..but still) the canteen lines, the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm not sure where that's from, but its overused. That doesn't change the fact that I just used it too. Oh well.
I do realise that I still have a year left (thank god!) and there is so much I have to do. But as I've been told by my dad and spanish teacher countless times, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
OOH casual epiphany; I have decided art is what I want to do. Fully. Completely. It will take a while for me to allow myself to cast off the liberal arts safety net, but it will go eventually. Art is an extremely powerful medium, in such a way that words cannot describe. (that works in more than one way hehehe (: ) Watching Shirin Neshat's video, is just one way of how far art has touched upon global issues. Who knows? Art could be extremely important in the future, what with the importance of the proletariat (should I say) increasing in today's political movements. To me, art is a way of the future.
