69-2279 - New colours for 2023

69-2279 – New colours for 2023

For Christmas I was given a set of watercolour markers by my daughters partner (Mont Marte brand). This is the first time I’ve used something like this – they worked very well and the colours blended nicely when I added water, even if my sketch ended up a bit messy. Wed-11-Jan-2023

Final College Blog Post- My Thoughts on the Film "Amélie" by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Analyzing and watching the film Amélie by Jean-Pierre Jeunet was a delightful experience. My mother and father had seen the movie before so we decided to watch it together while I wrote a few notes in my notebook. I first noticed that the narrator described everything the same way Amélie sees the world. There were a few events that happened in real life that connected the movie with its setting: the Montemarte section of Paris in 1997. The lighting was warm and yellow throughout most of the movie, which depicted a very sunny depiction of the ironic sadness and isolation that Amélie experienced during her childhood and the plot itself. Her father didn’t pay much attention to her, and her mother homeschooled Amélie for most of her life until she died. This was soon the cause of Amélie’s very quiet and quirky personality, finding little details and delights in life to cover her inner sadness, while seeking solitude from the intimidation of human faces. There were quite a few shots and special effects used to depict Amélie’s vibrant imagination. Red and green with a touch of blue were used here and there to depict hope in finding a happier place in the world, and while the real world was depicted dull using filters, Amélie’s imagination sequences made the colors more brilliant. In one imaginary sequence, the TV scolds her for being an introvert and messing up her life; in another, the animals in the paintings and on the lamp talk about her. Time seems to fly by when Amélie is incredibly focused on something, as shown in some of the montage scenes. However, one of the most frequent obstacles to making a friend or learning about love was Amélie’s fears and social anxieties, symbolized by great distances, trains crossing in front of her, or panes or lenses of glass. But as she helps out the people in her neighborhood (except the grocer) and her crush, the fragile painter she talks with sends her a message that if she lets opportunities like this pass her by, her heart will become as brittle as his bones. This theme is spread out throughout most of the film: to make friends, you don’t just have to take the initiative to talk to people and help them out, you also have to let them in. This was also well-illustrated with the very first person that Amélie helped: after receiving the box of his childhood, he sits down at the Two Windmills Cafe and talks about how his daughter now has a younger son and how he should reach out to them “before he’s in a box himself:” the box becoming a metaphor of not just death, but the walls of social anxiety. The music beautifully expresses the emotions of the plot as well: the whimsy, the mischief, the frantic pace of a scheme, the beauty and culture of Paris seen through a person who has been isolated nearly all her life, finally letting someone in.

Even with my analytical mind turned on, my personal perspective was still the strongest part of this analysis, as I related so much with Amélie. We both have vivid imaginations and are very quiet at first but with quirky personalities. Both of us are ‘young-hearted’: having a sense of delayed maturity, especially when it comes to processing emotions. Amélie, her crush Nino, and I collect various objects or concepts: Nino collects footprints and torn photos, Amélie collects flat rocks to skip in the river, and I collect rocks, trinkets, and stories from the Internet or through other media. It was made incredibly obvious in the movie that both Nino and Amélie have something like social anxiety, which I also have. Amélie’s parents also had noticeable traits of OCD having to do with cleaning out their spaces (the purse and the toolbox) and seemingly had different types of anxiety. Since autism is a genetic mutation passed down through generations, it made me wonder: if they had lived in the 21st century, would Amélie have been diagnosed with a high-functioning form of autism like mine? Even in the late 90s, there was a bit of autism research being developed, but it was still a misunderstood disorder at the time; people were just dismissing neurodiversity as “Oh, they’re just slightly different from us; let’s bully them.” Now that technology has improved, I’m glad I was brought up in an era that was more supportive and accepting of neurodiverse people. The message of this movie is a brilliantly happy yet poignant one, expressed beautifully through the use of special effects, lighting, music, and the pure emotion expressed by the actors. Beautiful film overall, would watch it again if I wasn’t so busy with schoolwork.

Drawing as tax. Made in Apple Freeform, lol. Future action/documentary movie poster on my life, possibly? "She has everything she needs now. All she needs to do is use them at the right place and time... SPARRO\^/HAWK- Coming soon to theaters near you"

The Journey of a Lifetime

~by Riley Fecker

Two overarching goals govern my life: the first is to learn as much about the world as I can; the second is to travel that world. I chose the Oxford Study Abroad program because I believed it would allow me to work towards both of these goals at once. This program has been a dream come true, and I can wholeheartedly say that it has allowed me to start on my journey of fulfilling these goals.

Our first stop was Paris, and to be completely honest, I had little hope for the city, thinking it a mere tourist attraction, and ranking it very low on my list of cities I wanted to see. It was Paris however, that completely blew my mind and took my breath away, single-handedly making me realize the beauty that the world, and its people could exhibit if they only tried. It was Paris, where I walked by the bank of the River Seine at night and took in the friends, families, and acquaintances, sharing a bottle of wine, or a cigarette beside the river, faces brightly lit with interest and laughter at whatever conversation was had. Not a single phone could be seen. These were simply people, reveling in the moment at hand.

It was Paris, where we climbed to the top of the only hill in Paris, Montemarte, to watch the sunset. There were hundreds of people around us, enjoying the end of their day, talking and laughing. What seemed to be a couple, danced a jig behind a bush just uphill of us, and a street performer juggled a soccer ball between his feet, arms, and head, to the delight of the children below him. A biker gang rode past, to the cheers of all the people around us. Locks (declaring love) littered the fences around us. I remember thinking, this is what it feels like to study abroad. Those moments when you feel like the people around you, and yourself are sharing a moment of significance.

It was that same hill, that we crested to reach Sacre-Coeur Basilica. Entering this church was a truly ethereal experience, you pass from the loud, bustling of a happy crowd outside, to complete and reverent silence. As I walked through the church, I realized something. The reverent respect in this church was not in accordance with any rule, any thought that you were supposed to be quiet and respectful. It was there because people wanted it to be, they chose within themselves to respect what was around them.

There is something beautiful about the culture of France, and the stark contrast I saw in it from the United States. Here, people stopped to chat with each other on the street, every person we met loved their jobs, and children walked to school through the city alone. It was truly a beautiful experience, which showed me a number of things I thought I would never see. The first, was the realization that even in a digital age, we are not all attached to our devices, we can enjoy each other’s company in real-time. The second was that respect, kindness, and enthusiasm for other people, is a concept not so few and far between among the general population, as it may sometimes seem in the United States

Throughout our journey, we encountered more of this culture, and more moments of absolute, ethereal beauty. From the snow capped mountains, rivers, lakes, and pine trees, of Chamonix, to the crowded, narrow streets of Venice, we experienced a mix of landscapes and culture that only the luckiest people get to experience. In Venice, we actually stayed on the island of Lido, adjacent to the main island. One morning, we ventured out to a fruit stand to buy strawberries. However, we couldn’t quite come up with the cash between us. The vendor assured us that it was fine, and we could take them today, and pay him tomorrow. This culture of trust is very prevalent across Europe, and many times we were upheld to a trust system to pay the amount. This was very different to us then in the US. This program abroad has quite literally, restored my faith in humanity.

By far the most beautiful place on our trip was Cinque Terra. The whole group went on a free day the faculty gave to us, and I was able to hike across the cliffs to two different cities. The trails were absolutely gorgeous, and the views out on the towns were unreal. We also passed a few locals going about their days, trying to get from town to town. There were houses hidden up in the hillside beyond gates, and acres of gardens terraced along the slope. At one point, towards the end of the day, we passed an older man handing out free watermelon at the top of a particularly steep slope. Exhausted, and winded, we were incredibly grateful. We surmised that it was the end of the day, and he would have no other choice than to throw them out, however, there was still the thought of giving it to others. A continued exhibition of a culture of kindness and anti-wastefulness.

Munich was another interesting city, not for its beauty, but for the things we got to do there. Germany has a large culture around beer gardens, so we went to one. The sight after dusk is insane. What seems like thousands of people gather at picnic tables to enjoy a (very large) beer with their friends and family. As we walked through, we saw business suits, teenagers, college kids; we were pressed to find seats in the very large expanse of picnic tables.

In Prague, we stumbled upon a peacock garden. As someone who has only ever caught a glimpse of one at a zoo, the opportunity to get up close enough to take a selfie with them blew my mind. We were also lucky enough to witness their mating rituals.

Something I will never forget, and a height of global engagement was seeing the Don Giovanni opera, by Mozart, in Prague. I have never had any interest in going to an opera, and I thought I would struggle to even sit through the whole thing. In stark contrast, I was riveted on my feet for the whole performance, straining my neck to get a better view, completely absorbed in the moment of mental, emotional, and physical engagement. This experience gave me a much more advanced respect for the arts than I had previously had (as the whole program did), and persuaded me to continue to see performances like this back in the states.

Of course, I can’t forget Oxford, an amazing experience at the end of an amazing journey. From punting on the River Cherwell with friends, to walking down Cornmarket street in search of a bite to eat, to a walk in the quiet serenity of Christ Church Meadow and surrounding area, Oxford quite literally had something for everyone. I will never forget the spontaneous trips to London, the Hozier concert in Birmingham (with seats you could never dream of in the US), and driving through the Cotswolds and Bath with my parents.

A highlight of my experience in Oxford, was the opportunity to obtain a Bodleian card, which gave me access to all of the libraries across campus. To walk into the vast expanse of libraries, and browse the shelves, is a realization in how little we as people know, or even know that we can know. This was an eye-opening experience for me, and has both renewed my thirst for knowledge, and made me realize how catastrophic an entirely digitalized library is to our creativity and curiosity.

Overall, the Oxford Summer Program 2023 is an experience that I will never forget, and forever be grateful for. I have no regrets, and can only hope that the program will continue well into the future, offering students the opportunity to experience the culture and beauty that I have experienced.

Our 2nd day in Paris!

We made it to the Louvre!!! I’ll be honest, with Sarah still not feeling the best, it was a bit of a surprise we made it, but we did! Saw the big ones we’re supposed to see, but mostly just enjoyed the indoors (it was hot today), the paintings, there were loads of marble statues and those are my absolute favorite so seeing those was great, it was great!

We then hit up the gift shop, cuz that’s one of the most fun parts about museums, is seeing what miniatures and magnets they’re highlighting. Found some awesome stuff btw like a new phone case for Sarah and a new collapsible backpack, it’s covered in cats, for me!

Sarah started feeling poorly again, so we grabbed some cheese and a baguette for lunch and hung out in the apartment.

Once it had cooled off a bit and Sarah had had a couple of bananas and was feeling better, we took off again for Notre Dame! We stopped in at the Shakespeare and Company book store, which was an absolute delight, and then took loads of pictures cuz the lighting was 👌 When in Europe, I often get hit with this sense of awe at how old and immaculately preserved things are, and how millions and millions of people have stood where I’ve stood and seen what I’ve seen and it makes me feel a weird connection with humanity. It’s a little fanciful, but it’s true!

After Notre Dame, we headed towards Montmartre (it was recommended we go from a friend on Instagram). To get there took 11 stops on the Metro, and an ungodly amount of stairs (I now know why people have good legs in France!) but the view... holy cow was it stunning. The sun was setting, people were out enjoying a nice summer evening, it was just a magical experience.

Tonight is our last night in Paris, then tomorrow we are off to Brussels! I’m so hoping Sarah feels better tomorrow and is up to a day of light travel, I know her health has been frustrating for her. But she’s been a real trooper, and she felt well enough to want some chicken nuggets and French fries for dinner so I take that as a good sign.

Till tomorrow!

-G
