I'm walking in a gallery space, it's very big the ceiling is very high. The walls are white. Me and my class were preparing for an exhibition, we all made very big paintings (think 5-8m long). Some canvases were hung, and some papers around the same size were laid out on the floor, one next to the other in a grid. And although they had been painted by different people, they fitted seamlessly together. I think it was an abstract forest scene. I was walking on top of it (there was no other way) while getting a tour of the build up. One guy was painting white splatters over on side of the forest papers and another guy was doing something similar on the opposite side.

On the same festival the exhibition was part of, I saw Lin, a girl that was in the first year of my bachelor. I tried to get her attention, by playing with something that looked like it was made out of round beer coasters, but they were hung together by a string and they were a cup holder of some sort, and it was for birds. My pathetic cry for attention (playing with something while she was near), instead of just calling her name of waving, came from the fact that there were a lot of friends around her, she was super popular now, but in a way that was intimidating and not really fun. In the past she used to be silent and introverted, but whatever she said was super funny or sarcastic in some way.
