Pure Architecture vs. Applied Arts and Design
First let me tell you what happened 1 day before the interview.
A person-in-charge from KAED called me and asked which department I was applying to and to be honest, I haven't actually think about that. All this time I was only thinking about how to get into the faculty which is obviously Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design. Blame me or anything but I seriously haven't decided which department I want to go to.
Even until now...
Let's get back to the phone call. So, of course I need to answer right away, right? Thus, I did.
I answered with "Interior Designing" and the person corrected me with " You mean Applied Arts and Design?" ... "Yes, of course.."
Crap! I didn't even know what does the phone call means.. until the next day.. It means the one who'll be interviewing me is someone from the department that you're applying to.
Why didn't I think of that? But lucky me, I was also being interviewed by 2 Deputy Deans of KAED.
You must've been wondering.. what is it that troubling me right now?
... To be perfectly honest, I think that was a mistake and I only realize that the moment I got the offer letter. I know this is crazy but I'm really being honest over here.
Throughout the interview, I explained why I want to be in KAED and that covered like 80 % of the whole conversation. 10% on why I bailed from Biomedical Science, 5% on my background and another 5% on Interior Designing.
The lecturer from AAD probably right about the part that I actually don't really know what's going on in his department. I don't even know what a Conservation is! I thought it was like the Conservatoire School in Paris! Not like a piano thing but more like Architecture Conservatoire... Of course I'm dead wrong about it...
Back to the moment I got the offer letter.
" you're being offered to Bachelor of Applied Arts and Design.." Crap! All this time I was talking about the Architecture stuffs! Buildings! Bridges! and only a small part of Interior Design...
What I'm gonna do? AAD sounds great! But I kept on thinking and it is obvious that I'm having a second thought about this whole thing.
Therefore, back to the prime issue.
