(click to enlarge &#8212; full article PDF below)</p>
<p>a couple weeks ago, i was interviewed by felicia chen, a writer for <a href="http://www.thesheaf.com/index.php?option=com_docman&#038;task=cat_view&#038;gid=91&#038;Itemid=64"><em>the sheaf</em></a>, the university of saskatchewan student newspaper.  she came over to my apartment.  this was only my second time being interviewed so i was still nervous, but she was very friendly.</p>
<p>the interview lasted for three hours.  even though it was a long interview, surprisingly it wasn&#8217;t long enough to cover everything i wanted to say, partly because my answers tend to be meandering.  it&#8217;s hard for me to talk about what i do, and especially hard in english if i&#8217;m a bit nervous.  i get really excited and i can&#8217;t put my thoughts together.  when that happens, people who know me can understand what i mean but for someone i just met i&#8217;m probably confusing. :D</p>
<p>after the interview, i felt i hadn&#8217;t explained my thoughts clearly enough.  so i wrote my answers to her questions and some additional information and sent her an email.  it was a good exercise for me.  a lot of the questions were about my artwork.  i don&#8217;t like to talk about &#8220;<strong>ART</strong>&#8221; in general and i have a hard time explaining what i&#8217;m doing.  so i thought about it for a long time and wrote a really long email.  felicia was very nice and read the whole thing and some of my ideas showed up in this article.</p>
<p>i&#8217;m very happy with this article in the end.  it&#8217;s really good at showing my floating thoughts.  like i keep saying, my mind is everywhere.</p>
<p>you can read the article about me and see the whole newspaper (PDF) at <a href="http://www.thesheaf.com">the sheaf website</a>.  there&#8217;s no way to link directly to the article yet, so i&#8217;ve uploaded the two pages here.  you can open them in PDF and read the small newspaper text.  there are 2 files to open, one per page.</p>
