Baclk to School
30/09/08
Well, I had to go back to school (Don’t worry, it’s not at Brandon College). I just took this picture because it reminded me of my Ex Roommate @thebrandontyler. I am actually going to school now at San Francisco State University. It has been a hard switchover to this new school. Basically, all of the system are more confusing than City College. Their web site doesn’t work as well and things are slow to respond to changes. Everything has pretty much smoothed out and I can turn in my homework now and things like that but thats not the end of the hardship. When I applied to get into SF State from CCSF I applied as an Industrial Arts major. So I was accepted into the Design and Industry Departments (DAI) at SF State. Because of that I received several emails before school started about what classes to take my first semester, GREAT! This will make things easy right? Just sign up for these required classes when I can register. So my registration date comes and guess what, each of those required classes has 1 section and they are all full, GREAT! So I decided to try and crash those classes to get added in. I got two of the four I was looking for and one unrelated but related Interior Design class that I actually really like; Overall not bad. The three classes has turned into a good transition from Community College while still working full time. It turns out that a real university is a lot more work than a community college. I already feel like i have more work than I ever did at CCSF with four classes in a semester. But there is something I really like about the work I am doing. A lot of it is kind of dry, but now that I am in a design program, everything has to look nice. I love it. We get these same letters and assignments and schedules, but they all have nice letterhead. When I do an assignment, half of the assignment is throwing together a full page letterhead. Also, because most of the stuff is submitted online, I can do full page bleeds so it all looks good without having to worry about spending $30 to get it printed. But overall, I really am liking school a lot more than I used to at City College or Saddleback or in High School. I can see the end now, and despite the fact that it is very far away, I can see it and feel it and I know how to get there and I know I will like it. Coming up on my next post will be the exciting tale of getting my car fixed... YAY!... Not.
