visa's applied, guidebook's bought

After 3 steamboats and 4 yu-sangs, the CNY celebrations are pretty much almost over. And CNY had been a convenient distraction from the fact that I am going to fly very soon.

Only a couple more things need to be settled, and a couple of last-minute meet-ups with friends. I'm flying in a couple of days, and that has sunken in well.

It struck me the other day I will be going back to studio life, well, in a way, once the semester starts at Tsinghua. I'm not sure how comfortable I will get at the foreign studio, and how confident I will be with the designs I will need to churn out. Despite having promised myself to improve my sketching since Year 1, I am still uncomfortably unable to sketch in coherence to my thought process. Dunch know how reactive I will be to the design process taught over there. Feels really unprepared.

A thousand things are now swirling in my head, and I don't even know what to feel.

The visa's applied, and the guidebook's bought. I only know it's kinda time to go.
