the exam

we are having the final exam of our graduation course. it was long expected... but now we could realize we are going to miss something. the exam will be over within 8 september. i don't know what i am going to do then... i have an offer to start a full time job in my current office, but when i think about working all day long under a concrete roof... my breath stuck under my chest. it really hard to imagine...


in our graphic design department we are having a 48 hours long (12 days) exam- 'publicity campaigning and packet design'. its so boring. we have to paint a 15" x 20" poster, a 7" x 7" sticker and a packet for 12 pencils. the way of working is so conventional... no use of computers or any other digital media. its good that we are learning but i think its not a proper way of learning.
