It happens.  I'm kind of glad that I went through that shit every week for four years, because now I'm ready for someone to completely flip their shit about how I should totally know something and me not knowing it makes me a failure as a human being when there is no possible reason for me to have possibly known it.  It did suck pretty badly for the first year, and periodically for the other three.

So, remember it's just another experience with the type of person who is unfortunately far too common in positions of authority, and you've dealt with it pretty well.

I'm sorry Ally. :c Those things can be expected if you're already in a class, but to get into an intro class, that was pretty damn stupid. I hope you find a teacher that is more understanding (and more awesome) than that lady.

There is no right or wrong in art, btws. And yeah, art teachers, especially on the college level are going to be cunts. The best thing to do is to not take anything they say to heart, and work on the areas they said need improvement.





Anyways, blog thread, my boyfriend's friend is being a cunt. Basically, he and I both took off today and tomorrow to celebrate his birthday. Today we went to the park together, and currently he is heading to his friend's house for a party with friends only. This is going to involve LAN Borderlands, and probably MTG playing, plus I wasn't invited, so I'm not going. Which is no big deal. I honestly have not felt bad about that. He needs time for his friends too, so yeah. No big deal.

However, his friend I mentioned has turned everything into a big dramatic ordeal, and woe is her, and she is such a victim. She texted him today saying she won't be attending his party and didn't say why. He wrote her back and got no response. Later, we get all call from another friend saying that the reason that friend wasn't coming was because she found something I posted on facebook ages ago "talking terribly about her". What I had posted was "Thanks for coming over, completely ignoring the person you came to see(my boyfriend), moving your shit out and leaving. Don't come back, assholes!" That is exactly word for word what I said. And that is exactly what she did. She came over under the guise of actually hanging out, packed her belongings(she used to be his roommate), and left. Maybe saying all of three words to my boyfriend the entire time. She was a completely rude cunt. And he was hurt, and thus, I was livid.

This girl has never been a good person to me. Never. She regularly treats me like crap, making it a point to exclude me from anything they do together, including coming over to my house(my boyfriend and I live together), and completely ignoring me. She refuses to even acknowledge my presence. I've tried everything I can to make her like me/feel welcome. I regularly cook dinner for her, when we all go out together, I try to do things that she wants to do. I mean, I stopped wearing my fucking patchouli because she didn't like the smell of it, and I wanted her to feel welcome in our fucking home.

Anyway, so, after reading what I wrote about her, she posted on my boyfriend's wall saying "I'll get the rest of my shit out soon, since I don't trust it there anymore" and then posted on her wall saying some long bullshit about how I'm a cunt, and how my boyfriend can't be a good friend to her and he is blind because he has his dick in me. Keep in mind that tomorrow is his birthday, and today is his birthday with friends night.

So, I decided that I should probably respond and defend myself, because I'm a stubborn brat and short tempered, and I can't control my anger, or whatever. This is my response. I've tried to keep it nice enough. Is it too mean? Should I clean it up some?

Quote
Since you had to become a child and post on a public forum instead of talking to either of us about it, I feel its probbaly best to address you here. So, Mel, read this status update, darling.

Since the beginning of Gabe and my's relationship, I've gone out of my way to make you feel welcome. I've cooked food for you. I've made sure that none of your cooking utensils were never used for any of the million things your allergic to. Not once ever have you done a single thing for me. You regularly come over and act as though this is not my home too. You act like you are the victim in this situation, which I completely fail to see. And I am certain that I'm not the only one. Have you not noticed that you are the only one of Gabe's friends who dislike me? And why don't you like me? Honestly, what are your reasons? I've never seen someone so upset that one of their supposed best friends is happy. Yeah, it certainly does suck that Gabriel has found someone who takes care of him. I mean, I must be some kind of a cunt to cook dinner for him every night. Remember when he had that staph infection? Guess who not only changed his bandages for him, but helped bathe him. But I guess that was a terrible thing to do. Even now, with Gabriel completely fucking pissed off at you for acting the way you are, I have told him that he shouldn't turn his back on you. Regularly, whenever you pull this shit, I have told him to stay friends with you. You constantly treat me like shit, and I still encourage him to be your friend. Why? Maybe because I'm a fucking moron, or maybe because I realize that you guy are supposed to be friends.

So, what the fuck is your problem with me? Why do you hate me so much? What have I ever done to you?

Giving such a harsh critique to a freshman is doing it wrong, this professor is obviously not that up on how art classes work. You rip apart upper level students in crits, you pretend that all the freshmen are amazing so that they will keep taking your courses and then you can rip them apart in their final year.

also
art teachers, especially joe, are going to be cunts.

also also
he is blind because he has his dick in me.

She's right though, we actually use them like periscopes. That hole at the end? That's a peephole.

But she is an IRL Troll who is supposed to be one of my boyfriend's best friend, but since I've started dating him, I've never seen it.


And my boyfriend has convinced me to just email it to her as opposed to being a public cunt to her and posting it as my status message on facebook.

Just how little is this brother of yours? I need to know, because if he's 10 then that's pretty neat, but if he's 20 then I would remark on how rare gaming blogs are.

EDIT: Just read the "about" bit of the blog. 9! I think when I was 9 I was rolling around in the muddy leaves at recess.

My grandmother was admitted to the hospital because she was vomiting blood. Over the course of a week they discovered that she had a bleeding ulcer, a blood infection, her bladder wasn't functioning, she had fluid in her lungs, cancer in her liver, and she may have suffered a stroke. She has since been transferred into hospice care. The doctors say she will probably not make it to Thanksgiving.

Four months ago my grandmother was living on her own in a house. No one worried about her because she got around fine and never complained of anything. She tripped one day and fractured her leg and had to be put in a rehab center for a while. I can't believe how quickly she has deteriorated. She barely remembers who I am anymore. Sigh.

I don't know how to feel about the whole mess.
Holy crap, dude, that's horrible. Hope she comes out okay...

So.. do you still need a lasagne recipe? Cos I have one:

A) 1 quart tomato sauce
B) lasagne noodles
C) 2 10-oz. bricks frozen chopped spinach
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/4 t nutmeg
D) 15 oz. ricotta cheese
E) 1 pound mozzarella cheese
F) parmesan or romano cheese

Thaw and squeeze the spinach. Add the eggs and nutmeg and mix well. If you don't have no-cook noodles, then cook them. In a glass or ceramic baking dish (13x9 inches or so - three noodles wide), layer ingredients A-F. I can usually get 3 or 4 layers, starting with a really thin layer of sauce under the first noodles. Try to finish with mozzarella or parmesan (E or F) as the top layer. Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving.

Blog Thread.

Things that are hapening right now:
-I passed all my classes in the first term, except Gym Class. I need my Gym Class this year or I don't get my diploma since I don't have any Religion/Ethic class.
-I decidded that I wanted to do a Double DEC in Music and Sciences in College. Since I'm not incredibly advanced in music, I will have to work my ass off.
-I registered at the Grande Bibliotheque in Montreal. I love it!
-I have a "girlfriend". Well, I've asked her to be my girlfriend she said yes, but also said that she wasn't looking for a full-fledged relationship. (I wasn't looking for one either actually, but I kind of want one now.) So, I'll clarify things with her tomorrow. I was rather nervous since it was my first time ever asking a girl out.

Woot!

So uh, I kind of got asked out last night by a boy (woo!) and then tonight my friend's roommate/fellow d&d'er chatted with me on AIM and he's visiting me for lunch tomorrow, since he has no school and I have work. I told this to my friend and she was as shocked as I was, but said maybe he liked me. Also that one of our other d&d players/friends likes me too. Also I've had a sneaking suspicion that another of my guy friends has been hitting on me in his slightly awkward way. That's 4 boys. Does not compute. Yesterday was awesome, today my brain broke, and tomorrow I have a lunch date and a date date and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.

But I am going to go see a local band I like and I am happy. We have been playing one of their cds a lot in our store as the main guy shops there and I like it quite a bit! But what's not to like about a fun, rockabilly-esque album where all the songs are based off of stores?

Yesterday was my brother's 26th birthday, and this is the card I got him!  Yes, I think it's clever.

My family decided the best present would be a party for him, so we took him out for dinner and then suprise (it wasn't really a suprise)! All his friends show up. Only, the restaurant we went to first was packed so we went to a different one of Gordon's choosing... though he happened to choose a restaurant where I worked and did not leave on the best of terms.

Of course the two managers on duty were the ones who hate me. No illusions there. I have never received so many dirty looks in one night. I countered this by getting drunk. I am still drunk, actually. And I am going into the office today. Shiiiit.

Hey wait what why did I get paid today, it's not pay day

So since I got here on October 3rd I have missed four lectures (we have ten a week). Two of them were this morning.

Admittedly the first one I just decided not to go to, because the lecturer is boring, all the information is on the handout and I was tired. I went to the second one of the day, then was on my way back to my room to do an hour's work before the third one and met my college mum heading towards her lecture. I saw her last night on her way out and she was very drunk; this morning she was obviously feeling it and she ended up going back to college with me and I looked after her for a couple of hours (thereby missing my second lecture of the day).

I have a mountain of work and I really need to get on it; this evening is my girlfriend's birthday party (man that word seems weird, I feel like I shouldn't use it yet) and I have a play rehersal in the afternoon, and then the play's launch party later in the evening. So yeah, maybe I will have my first all-nighter working session today.

There is a tiny, tiny hole in my jeans. It is not visible unless I spread my legs really wide and I do not do that in the course of ordinary life, but I'm going to have to patch it before it gets any bigger.

There was no room to crabsquat amongst the ridiculously packed venue of kids who have curfews still. There were like 10 people in the 21+ section.

funny thing about the painting prof stuff: as far as I can tell, I actually did get into the class. apparently, if she thinks someone has potential, she rips them to shreds to get them to work harder. huh.

Is this gonna turn into a movie where she constantly treats you like crap, and then you look to the camera, fist raised, and shout "I'll show you! I'll show you that I can be the best there ever was!!!" then it cuts to a montage of you working your ass off, covered in paint and ink and various other art supplies, and making some crazy arts, and then you bring them to her, and you get put in a show and get praise, and then there is a shot of you, your art teacher lurking in the background, you hands are clasped together in front of you, eyes welling up with tears, and you spout "I did it! They love me! This is what art is!" And then you hear a voice, "No." says your teacher "This is not art. Critically praise does not equal art. This is merely the doodles of a plebeian. scoff" and she saunters off, leaving you in tears. You'll mope back to your room, and stay holed up for days, until finally one day you emerge with a beautiful piece of work, that you shrug off as merely a doodle of a mad woman, and then you teacher stops you, grabs the painting, and says "This is what I have been trying to get you to work for. This is what I have wanted you to reach into your mind, your SOUL and pull out! This is beauty! This is garce! This is art!" Roll credits.

Right?


Anyway, good job! Thats awesome news. Congrats!

Man, those teachers who rip you apart and are mean with their criticism don't hold a candle to the ones who nicely explain in detail what could help you most and a light bulb goes off in your head immediately that makes you want to hug them for like 5 hours. Constructive criticism is necessary, but why not just do it in a constructive way and not make people get all pissed off and brood on that before they actually push themselves to be better? Not once did I waste time with the awesome professors. The ones who made me fume did not help me, they just made me get pissed off, because their "help" was useless.

Same with students, but students you can tell to shut the fuck up.

We have a voice professor here that does a very similar thing. He spends most of freshman year (all depending on how long it takes, usually only takes a semester) to break down his students until they (usually) cry or switch out of his studio. He then creates some of the best singers at the school, so I guess he can't be too terribly wrong about it? I guess once you go to an institute of higher learning for a fine art, you've signed up to work with somebody who has the experience and technical skill to be very critical of your work.

Just because someone has some successful students doesn't mean they aren't bad at their job. That whole approach of "no, you're wrong, keep trying until you produce something I like but I won't tell you what it is beforehand" is a load of nonsense. Students should receive measured assessment of their work that picks it apart and identifies the problems but they also need to be told the areas in which they're working well, and the standards they're being expected to attain should be as clearly defined as possible.

It's also entirely possible for a middling teacher to bask in the glory of the students that happened to be talented even before he got to them. I tend to measure a teacher as much by how they deal with mediocre students as by how they deal with those who come in reeking of untapped potential. A teacher that drives off all the average candidates and then pats himself on the back for producing "only the best" isn't likely to impress me very much.

Well, to be fair to this guy, I don't necessarily agree with his methods, but he doesn't indiscriminately pick on his students, he expects a lot from them, but it's an amount I've never seen be unattainable. He doesn't tolerate note problems for long (as he shouldn't, it's not his job to teach notes), and he doesn't accept backpedaling in terms of technique from any of his students. I have seen him work with a range of performers, and I don't think I've seen any who were motivated who hasn't improved vastly under him. The only ones who I see drop out of his studio are the students who are working on notes with their accompanist, unprepared entirely for lessons, etc. He has very high standards in terms of effort, but overreacts when they are not met which is not a good thing, but I would say he is a good teacher in spite of it.

My point is that a teacher who is highly critical is not necessarily bad at their job, not that him being highly critical makes him a good teacher.

So it is almost 4am and I have in the last two hours written an essay for which I did very little reading (thankfully I attended most of the lectures or I'd be totally screwed) and read five cases of the 28 I still had to read before my supervision tomorrow. I'll try to get up in time to read some more in the morning but considering the supervision is in six hours and I've yet to sleep, it seems unlikely.

We are sooo beyond on our play; and we are playing it next Thursday. We are sooo screeewed. It's mostly because parts of the group won't show up. That's the downside of drama high school - people have a tendency to just not be there when you need them. Friggin great.
We don't have that problem in Sumter. Everyone who moves here and joins our theatre troupe is always so surprised at the attendance.

Blaggy,

Getting fired for the first time sucks.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, so does getting fired at all, first time or ninety-first time (if you've been fired ninety one times maybe you should think about the jobs you're applying for a little more).
