The course almost gave the feeling of being invincible, it inspired in me such fervor that I dreamt of being boundless, it made me dwell on the possibility of choosing art as a profession. Everyday realities became revelations and creativity flourished in every speck and every whine until of course time disillusioned me. Now this remains as a beautiful dream that caught my fancy before fading away from memory.
