296 ~ The Last First Day of Classes

296 ~ The Last First Day of Classes

*explored* at #349

Textures from here and here.

Today is the first day for me of my last semester of college. Normally getting up and going to class is something I’m excited about. I love learning and I love sharing my ideas with others… but now… I’m so burnt out on college.

I’m also quite bitter about it.

When I graduated high school I could have started a career in my field. I had final cut pro editing knowledge and almost a decade of experience with photoshop. Now, nearly four years later, I can honestly say I have learned next to nothing in my college experience related to my career path. I’ve improved much in this time, yes… but not because of lectures, because of practice and self-instruction. The only knowledge I am taking away from Towson that I didn’t have going in pertains to subjects like Human Evolution, Health, Sociology, Astronomy… none of which have anything to do with Television production.

And so, now, not only having wasted nearly four years and thousands and thousands of dollars, but I’m going to be entering the job market in the worst economy of my lifetime.

And all for what? A piece of paper…

Oh, and another thing that gets under my skin… I’ve been done all of my requirements for my major and general education requirements for two semesters now. So I’m now hanging around to fill the 120 credit requirement. I could be taking classes like basket weaving, ballroom dancing, and miming for all they care. I’m done! Just give me my fucking degree and stop stealing my money!

Ugh.

Anyway. I’m hoping my classes don’t suck so I can stop whining.

And I was tagged to write 16 things about myself so I figure I’ll do that in this post since it’s already ridiculously long anyway.

1. This is my last first day of classes
2. When I was younger I was jealous of the kids that had braces and glasses… then I needed glasses. At first it was cool, then it got annoying so I got contacts.
3. I recently got new glasses and I’m excited about them so I’ll probably wear them a lot for a while.
4. I’m in love with my best friend of over four years.
5. He loves me too 🙂
6. I love snow when snowboarding is involved. I hate it when driving is involved.
7. Several months ago I decided to only wear jewelry from my parents or something that I bought myself. I found something disturbing about wearing a reminder of past relationships.
8. When I made that decision I bought this peapod necklace. It has two big peas and a little pea. It represents my dad, my mom and me.
9. My parents are the only happy couple I know. I hope to have that some day.
10. My favorite song of all time is "If you could only see" by Tonic. Every time I hear it without fail my heart sinks. Not quite sure why.
11. My favorite book would have to be Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy… followed very closely by every Vonnegut book ever written.
12. My favorite movie hopefully has not been made yet. That being said, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is my favorite movie in theaters now.
13. I’ve been using photoshop since I was 10.
14. I had my first domain (asweetgirl.com) when I was 10 as well.
15. I think tattoos are beautiful, and so I have a few and will probably get at least one more.
16. Honestly? I love my life. Now more than ever.
