"I wish everyone a happy semester at school."
Mona's opening speech lasted about ten minutes and then came to an end.
"In addition to the above-mentioned campus activities, Mr. Principal also asked me to convey some notices to you, mainly for our 13th grade students."
She folded her speech in half Putting it aside, he pulled out a brief note from the folder on the podium.
The first grade of Dulwich International School is a foreign language preschool for five-year-old children, and the 13th grade is the highest age group who are about to enter university.
In the next six months, they will spend their last semester in middle school.
"As usual, there will no longer be a fixed class schedule for the last semester. If there are students who do not have enough credits, they can re-take courses in the lower grade group. This year's university admissions meeting will be held at the end of the semester. Please be sure to prepare your portfolio in advance. This is your best chance to apply to your ideal university."
Mona glanced at the senior students in the front row.
Even those students who were usually known for their cynicism rarely looked serious at this time.
With such high tuition fees in international schools, apart from the teaching environment, the most attracting point is the convenience of applying to partner universities
A good university means more Bright career prospects.
Just a few seconds later,
Mona’s beautiful brows slightly wrinkled again.
She noticed that her childhood sweetheart was huddled in the chair with a sleepy look on his face, staring at the tablet computer not knowing what he was doing.
It seems that he doesn’t care about applying to college at all.
“I don’t know what it means, and I am irresponsible for myself.”
Mona was worried.
She shook the ponytail behind her head with a bit of annoyance, and heavily piled the ground under her feet with her leather shoes.
"I've finished my speech. Thank you all."
"Mona, please wait."
She shook her head and was about to step down. I saw someone in the front row raise their hand.
"Jerry, what's the problem with you?"
Mona recognized the tall boy with slightly naturally curly hair who stood up suddenly and called him Jerry.
Although this name reminds people of the classic comedy character in Tom and Jerry, this boy is not short at all. He is tall and masculine.
As the president of the female student union in the school, Mona has access to the background information of most of her classmates.
She vaguely remembered that Jerry was a mixed-race child, his father was a senior employee of a large German company, and his mother was a beautiful local woman in Yangon.
The other party’s family situation is very good. Every day after school, you can see the servant driving a BMW 7 Series to pick him up and take him home.
In addition, Jerry himself is a schoolHe is a member of the basketball team, so he has always been very popular with girls on campus.
The other party did not speak, but used magic to pull out flowers from the bag under the seat.
At the same time,
as if they had been rehearsed in advance, several students in the music and art class took out harmonicas and other small instruments from their pockets and started playing.
Listen to the melody, it should be the theme song of the movie Little Women fooforyou.
This is to confess
Coax
The auditorium immediately became lively.
"It's so romantic"
Some girls exclaimed in a low voice.
In European-style middle schools, love itself is a part of campus life.
Confessions of love are often seen in school.
But this kind of confession in front of everyone at the opening ceremony, with flowers and a band, is like a scene from a Korean school idol drama.
It is indeed very romantic.
Especially when the object of confession is the always aloof female student union president.
"This is the opening ceremony, not a private occasion. This romantic and brave little gentleman, you were detained after school." The principal in the front row stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
However, after issuing the punishment decision, he seemed to have no intention of stopping the confession.
He said with a smile and applause.
"But for now, I still wish you good luck."
Seeing that the principal didn't mean to stop the confession, he instead clapped and the atmosphere in the auditorium changed. Even more enthusiastic.
"Promise him"
"Promise him"
"Promise him"
Whistles and screams came and went, and many students They were all shouting.
This beautiful girl from India is one of the most popular girls in the school, and she has maintained a record of zero attacks since she started school.
Compared to the game, no one has ever cleared the dungeon, which undoubtedly became a more eye-catching garland around her.
Everyone is looking forward to which warrior can take the lead.
Mona on the rostrum raised her eyebrows and glanced at the circle of whistling boys.
This kind of situation where everyone is making noise together will put a lot of psychological pressure on the party being confessed.
Some thin-skinned girls are embarrassed to say no, no matter they like it or not.
However, Miss Mona is not a shy girl. The aura of the president of the women's student union suddenly appeared, and the screams and cheers in the crowd gradually became quiet.
"Miss Sandnu, I like you"
"Sorry, this semester is a critical period for applying to college, and it is also a turning point that determines the careers of art students like us for the rest of our lives. , I’m not in the mood for love.”
Mona rebuffed the boy's advances in a calm and skillful tone, just like facing a quacking duck.
For a popular figure like her, she would confess her love to a boy eight times if not ten times, and she had already learned how to handle it with ease.
If it were Gu Weijing, she might still hesitate.
Mona has already dealt with the others very skillfully.
A huge sigh of disappointment came from the auditorium.
"So Miss Sandnu, you don't have a boyfriend yet, right?"
Jerry was not discouraged.
Mona raised her head and glanced in the direction of Gu Weijing. When she saw that he finally stopped playing with the tablet, he looked up at her.
"At this time I finally knew I was worried."
Miss Mona snorted in her heart, turned her head, gritted her silver teeth and said, "No."
Jerry immediately handed the bouquet to Mona.
"Then after the admissions meeting is over, can I date you? Just treat it as an agreement in advance. I really like you."
Coax
The auditorium that had just been quiet became noisy again.
Many girls felt that the boy's polite and graceful response was a plus.
"How do you know you can go to the same university as me?"
Mona asked rhetorically.
"If you go to that university, I will sign up for that university." Jerry answered simply, and it didn't look like he was just having fun.
His tone suddenly became a bit sly, "And we have a traditional Miss Sandnu in our school who should be familiar with it."
Traditional
Some people in the audience have just entered school. The freshmen didn't understand the school's traditions, and immediately some seniors started to popularize campus culture in their ears.
There is a rule on campus called king and queen kgaaaaqueen.
This is not a unique tradition of Dulwich International High School. Many private schools and universities with long history in Europe and the United States have it. They select the king and queen of the school every year.
The specific selection process varies from school to school.
For example, KK from the University of Utah in the United States is the football captain who can lead the school team to defeat the rival Mormon Brigham Young University in the same city. Queen is voted the most popular by students online every October. For girls, some science and engineering schools will select the top student in a certain physics class or calculus competition to become the king or queen.
The king and queen will enjoy certain small rights on campus, such as free lunch and the best seats in the restaurant.
Trinity College, Cambridge University, allowed him to choose the boys' dormitory where Sir Isaac Newton once lived. Legend has it that the apple tree in the yard was the one that smashed the apple on Newton's head.
There is another right that is common to almost all schools.,
When you become the king or queen of your school, as a rule, you cannot say no to the first boy or girl you pursue.
On the contemporary Internet, people like to call doing some of the most spectacular things in school as gaining priority in choosing a spouse. In fact, it is the same as these long-standing campus traditions.
Of course, this is just campus culture.
Whether you are willing to comply depends on the other party's wishes, and you cannot issue an invitation to someone of the opposite sex who already has a clear lover. This is obviously shameless.
In Gu Weijing’s school, European and American campus culture is integrated with Asian traditions, and the selection criteria are a bit like good looks.
Every year at the school recruitment fair, the boy who wins the most admission offers based on his portfolio is elected as the campus king of this year.
The girl queen is the most popular girl at the campus fraternity dance.
It is not easy to be the campus king.
Dulwich International School cooperates with a total of twenty-six universities, and the world ranking of the Academy of Fine Arts ranges from thirty to two or three hundred.
Different from the admission model that clearly demarcates the score line, the portfolio has subjective judgment factors. Famous art academies each have their own characteristics, and the art academies also have their own different preferences and preferences for visual arts.
It is possible that due to style reasons, your application was admitted to a school ranked 150, but rejected by a university ranked 200.
It is considered very good to get two or three admission offers at the school recruitment fair every year.
Usually students will only prepare their portfolio specifically for one target school.
Unless you are a very outstanding student, your portfolio is recognized as good. No matter what style you like, professors can tell at a glance that you are a good candidate for learning painting. Only then can you get admission into many universities. offer.
The highest record in the history of the school. There was once a senior who received letters of intent for admission from eight schools in the school recruitment fair based on a 140-page portfolio that he prepared for a whole year.
The senior heard that he was now a contracted painter with the famous French gallery Yvon. A painting could sell for tens of thousands of dollars, and he was officially on the road to becoming a professional painter.
"Let's do this, I'll give you this opportunity."
Mona glanced in Gu Weijing's direction again, and suddenly took the flowers from Jerry's hand.
"I like people who are persistent and serious. If you want to impress me, you can. If you can get the most offers at the admissions meeting, I will agree to date you."
"This invitation is valid for all boys."
She took out a flower and pinned it on the collar of her school uniform jacket, and then crowned her courtiers like a little queen, Additional bouquets were thrown toward the senior section of the auditorium.
Such an exciting scene,
not to mention that many boys are excited, even manyGirls all think Mona looks very cool.
Many students stood up from their seats and wanted to catch the petals flying in the air.
The corners of Gu Weijing's mouth twitched slightly.
"Hey, what did you do to make your girlfriend unhappy?"
Kou Kou chewed bubble gum, turned her head from the seat in front, and looked curiously Pay attention to the scriptures.
"Kou Kou, Mona said she doesn't have a boyfriend." The round-faced girl next to Kou Kou who looked intimate with Kou Kou puffed up a big bubble. She looked like Kou Kou's current girlfriend. Female companion.
There are many different love orientations in school, and Kou Kou is a master of bisexual love.
There are not only playboys on campus, but also many Neptune daughters. During middle school, she had at least three or four boyfriends and twice as many girlfriends.
This round-faced girl with a silver nose ring on her nose looks like Kou Kou’s new love.
"Tch, it's too innocent."
Kou Kou smiled and pinched the cheek of the girlfriend next to her.
As a high-ranking female Neptune who has many love affairs, Koko relies on the intuition between beautiful girls, and she is ready to capture the small movements on Mona's expression.
She knew that the student union president must still like Gu Weijing in her heart.
What happened at the opening ceremony was just a small episode.
The students’ lives are anything but leisurely.
For the graduating art class students, the school basically has no fixed curriculum, and all cultural classes have ended.
The portfolio is the only theme of life.
Generally, a normal portfolio must include at least more than 30 mature works in three parts: sketching, creativity, and free proposition works, in order to fully demonstrate your artistic characteristics and painting skills in front of the admissions teachers.
At this time, there are only more than three months until the admissions meeting at the end of May.
On average, at least ten works must be completed every month.
Everyone is basically too busy.
The public art studio in the school is often open until nine or ten o'clock in the evening and then closes.
Gu Weijing, who was not prepared to make a traditional portfolio, was not affected by the fanatical atmosphere in the school at all after school.
He went out and took a taxi and went straight to the Lucky Orphanage.
Now Gu Weijing is very familiar with the staff in the orphanage. He comes here almost every week. After a few discussions with the headmistress, a room in the orphanage was cleared. It serves as Gu Weijing's studio.
Gu Weijing feels that this is much better than the studio at school or at home.
He always remembers that there is still one last step to complete in his professional mission.
The series of tasks gives a first look at the career path and the final task
The current task is to complete a work of any theme with a length of more than 8 inches., and reach the emotional rating of feeling something, that is, above.
The ultimate reward of the series of tasks is a random legendary skill
Perhaps it reflects the classic sentence of the Qing Dynasty poet Zhao Yi, "The misfortune of the family and the country makes the family happy, and the vicissitudes of life are reflected in the poem." Change jobs."
Whenever Gu Weijing walks into the Good Luck Orphanage, his emotions are often moved by various human tragedies.
The realist painting school in the late Tsarist Russia believed that illusory classical myths and legends, great heroes, romantic literary legends and illusory exotic customs are not as profound as depicting simple reality.
The dark side of society is the best teacher for painters.
This sentence is very reasonable.
As Gu Weijing learned more about the lives of those poor children, he relied on his own efforts to change the living conditions there little by little.
It is easier for him to inject his own emotions into his paintings.
Gu Weijing felt that
he was only a shallow layer of window paper away from being able to create a painting that met the task requirements. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
