worst human.

i just had my academic advising appointment....
k.
the ceramics teacher is the worst human ever...
At one point during the process i looked over at bill with my sullen sunken dead man's eyes (due to her droll) and he started laughing... you know that when the head of the department is willing to admit one of his professors is a drag its true.

1. ceramics is really not an art class... but they require it??? its sorta the butt of everyones jokes... kids who take ceramics by choice are not artists...
2. this lady is horrible and she's the only prof. who teaches it.

THIS IS MY ADVISING SESSION:
walk in and grab my sandwich and water.
take my folder.
get assigned to HER... (immediately i'm scanning the other professors to see who's pile is smallest... of course Bill's is the largest but he sees me and waves me over to put it in his... ) 
OPE SHES CALLING MY NAME ( and i don't want to be rude and obvious about preferring someone to her so i just suck it up )

OOOhhhh the rumours are true.

she opens my folder and in the most nasaly terrible condescending tone says
"your a freshman... and your taking 2 400 level classes  HIGHLY UNUSUAL."  
with her eyes pinning me to the ground with their weight.

i explain myself...

i show her the courses i've plotted out...
explain my plans for study abroad...
"you want to take 3 studio classes, VERY UNWISE." ( gosh... could you be more condescending... aren't you supposed to be HELPFUL!?)
i explain to her that... umm every art major is supposed to have 3 at this point.... i was supposed to take 3 this semester but opted out in order to take a 400 level art discussion class... 

HMPH.
(she does this A LOT... what an OGRE)

she convinces me NOT to take intro to computer graphics and figure drawing back to back... (6hours of studio class in a row is pretty difficult)

soooo instead i end up with my only other option... 

6 hours of studio class back to back.

what an idiot i am.

so now i have ceramics and sculpture back to back... YEA RIGHT.

theres no way....


andddddd its her as the professor... not a chance.

i'm going to find a way to take printmaking if i have to... 
just get me OUT of there..

i mean.. i don't really want to take figure drawing if it means i have to miss kaleo... but i have to at some point... so i should just get used to it...


as it is this is my schedule:

SUMMER: health & math at pcc, Christian Life Faith and Ministry online,

FALL semester:  
Elementary Greek
Intro To Computer Graphics
Ceramics
Sculpture
College Algebra


trying to organize in my schedule:
Figure Drawing & Painting
Serigraph


sooo sculpture and ceramics can wait while i organize this thingie... 
idk if i can handle another 7:30 - 10:30 class... last semester was murder.... plus i'd miss kaleo...
but its only offered fall semester... and i plan on going to oxford i'd have to wait til senior year... which is outrageous.

unless i took it IN oxford. which would be amazing.

You should talk to Becky about skipping or testing out of intro to computer graphics somehow. You already are pretty proficient with photoshop. I don't know how much indesign or illustrator you know, but any chance of getting out of that class, might as well try.
