i've finished my official first week of classes (i don't have any on fridays). what can i say?....i'm not sure. college is definitely not what i had in mind. when i pictured myself going to college i pictured me having a dorm room where i left the door open, like everyone else, and we socialized. we went to class and talked to each other between them. i know we don't have dining halls but i figured we'd get together to cook and eat. on the weekends we'd venture to the city or berkeley and hit up the occasional party or at least hang out. other than the social aspect, i pictured myself doing art and really getting creative. so far college really isn't all of that.
art school is very different from traditional school. reasons why:
1. the teachers all want to be addressed by their first name
2. you have a shit load of expensive supplies, and minimal textbooks
3. syllabuses are unorganized and informal
4. when they grade your art, it has to actually be good
5. assignments are very vague, leaving much room for interpretation and much room for mistakes.
i'm sure i will discover many more reasons later. i'm just hoping things will get better. i want to enjoy college and so far i'm not really enjoying it that much. i want to be home, but no one else is home so it doesn't really matter. i just try to remember that i'm doing this to have the career i want.
