And once again, in a weird way, realizing how lucky I am. Luck runs out though.

Starting to feel this class thing a little more, as everything, to this point, outside Photo has been a wash. Digital Imaging is coming along and Graphics, if I can just keep up, would be cool. I’d just like to spread things out a bit, even if it will be a stretch. I’ve been told a bunch of times not to stress myself out too much, and so I think for once I’m actually going to do something (I hope) that’ll help it. A nice side effect is that I should be able to finish what I started on the Art side of things, but I don’t want to speak too soon. I’m definitely feelin’ the burn out in some respects though I feel like I’m a lot more motivated on the creative end of things right now.

Not that anyone ever said it was, but this program (and others here) was not meant for kids to be working part time, being involved in campus orgs, or basically doing anything else that takes up time outside of class work. I’ve had several discussions with different people over the last week about this, and not that the department should at all be catering to people who work outside class, but you would think they would at least acknowledge it. I was shocked when a certain, current CS prof. of mine actually decided to delay our midterm until after Spring break as he thought it was too close to when a heavy programming assignment and another homework would possibly be due. Imagine that, a professor that actually realizes we have [gasp] other things that take up our time, first and foremost being the other classes we are taking. Does this seem as non-trivial as it should?

It’ll all work out in the end [in- and outside the classroom] and soon enough it’ll a hot, class-free day in August.
