For this assignment, i just wanna portray a typical day in NUS (for me at least). I interpret the title as "A typical day" as opposed to perhaps a physical 24 hr day in NUS. So i have decided to show what can be expected from a day in NUS.


For the first draft, the comment i get from Dr Julian is that perhaps i can consider using photos where i am wearing yellow for all the photos for consistency.



I have given the suggestion some thoughts and instead of changing the pictures to all of me wearing yellow, i have change the 3rd last photo to a picture of me NOT wearing yellow. I also changed the caption of that picture. The reason for that choices is that now my photos are nearly separated to 4 and 3 with the first 4 being sort of the pre official start of university days (Arts camp, orientation week etc) and the last 3 being what is happening during the term time itself.
