Give me some more time / 再給我一點時間

這幾天很累，累到圖畫不出來，卻又不知道可以做什麼，走在路上只能東看西看，試著找一些靈感。例如說，我在猜這個白馬桶是自己逃出來的嗎？但為何不跑遠些呢？

I was more than exhausted during the past few days, so tired that I couldn't draw. Meanwhile I wondered what else I could do. When walking on the roads, my eyes searched for interesting things so that I could find inspirations. For example, I was curious if this toilet made the escape itself, but if it's really so, why didn't it run further? 

氣溫有逐漸下降的趨勢，但秋天還捨不得離開弗洛登路，天氣晴朗的時候，楓葉看起來就更美麗。

I have the feeling that the temperature is slowly dropping, but autumn still can't bring itself to part with Flodden Road. When there are sunny spells, the maple leaves appear even more charming. 

星期一在畫室裡的任務是拿上週發展的想法繼續發展下去，老師要的是小圖的速寫，每張不超過五分鐘得畫出來，我想我的圖還不夠多元，因為最終要能生出兩個廣告表達同一個想法。

The task on Monday in the studio was to develop one of the ideas we had formed last week. The teachers asked for thumbnail images, each of which should be drawn within five minutes. I think my images were not diverse enough because in the end everyone of us has to come up with two different ads for the same idea. 

今天之前我有種什麼也想不到的枯竭感，早上起床時，我終於復原了，我對自己說，如果我不喜歡我生出的想法，明天我根本無法上台報告，所以無論如何，我要用愛好好做作業。

Before today, I was sucked dry. I couldn't think of anything and I didn't like what I did. This morning when I woke up, I recuperated mentally and physically. I told myself if I don't like my ideas, I won't be able to present them tomorrow. So I have to do the homework with love no matter what. 

雖然我想快速地進步，也容易沒有達到目標感到沮喪，但怎麼說我都在前進。和蔡女士視訊時，隨手畫了一堆肖像，以前我是不會畫這些東西的，這應該是我的改變指標之一。

Though I want desperately to make progress and I am likely to feel frustrated without achieving my goals, I am moving forward anyway. While Skyping with Mom today, I did doodles of everyone's portraits. I wouldn't draw so spontaneously like this before. It is an indication of my change. 

再給我一點時間，我對自己說。

Give me some more time, I say to myself.
