so for anyone that knew in the few months leading up to my departure know my struggle to get my class schedule worked out. after 5 adjustments i finally got one that pleased the school which was 2 chinese painting, one landscape, one flower and bird. i wanted just landscape but i could because i cant travel with the class. i was going to take photography as my optional course at the end of the semester to be somewhat productive.
i went in to talk to the foreign affairs officer about something problematic with my class. so it turns out that the photo class is full and i cant take it. awesome he only knew 3 months before the semester and about 7 months before ill take the class but now once again he realizes that it wont work. though it turns out that it was a intro class so it wasnt too bad i guess. now im taking a color chinese painting class which should be cool actually. but im starting to feel like a trip that was intended to be a way to study photo in china is becoming a frivolous pursuit of chinese calligraphy and painting. im just gonna have to work more on my own i guess. im hopefully gonna get access to the lab once i go through some application process or something else ridiculous just to develop some film. gahhhhh, there is soooo much stuff i CANT do at this school. im about to sneak into the lab like i have to sneak away with my class to go and do some actual landscape paintings.
i think the school just really doesnt want me to learn photo from it.
oh and we're going on 5 days of straight rain, i havent seen the sun in 2 weeks
