This Hour has 22 minutes
You all might wonder:
Why the hell are you posting poetry? Well to be honest I am not sure what to post at the moment. I was asked to continue posting about my life, but why really? I know it is a personal diary of sorts, and I do not advertise it that much. Perhaps in a few years I might retell it more in length. It is strange though, I was talking with a friend last night and she thinks I am depressed, and possibly suicidal. Which I think is really strange, because I do not think so. But, I guess it is to be expected because my writing I tend to show is pretty dark. But hey, I could work on being visually happier to the world. But it just seems like sooooo much work.
But anyways I finally told Rob what was bugging me in the class with Roger and Adam beside me. The issue will be looked into. Hopefully
I went and talked to Rob privately again. It seemed Weblog screwed up again for some reason and all my work was not being shown. Rob asked me what was going on, because lately I had been not as focused as I had been in the past. He was really worried because he wants me to do the best I can. For some reason he thinks I will go far, and the work I do is amazing. Although I can point out how much it is not.
I admitted I have no idea what to do my art of story telling assignment on. His recommendation was for me to pick an easy topic and tell the story in a good way. I am still unclear on what to do, but I am tempted to bug my beautiful community press reporter friend. She is always filled with ideas.
So far I got a lot of work on my plate. I got:
A website I have to complete for Dan (http://students.onlinedemocracy.ca/~michaeldarling/goldentreestudios/)
A pioneer redesign website for Hersh
(http://students.onlinedemocracy.ca/~michaeldarling/goldentreestudios/)
A Business report on how to Market and change the Online Pioneer and how to make people more aware it exists for Joe.
An art of story telling project, a CAR essay and some other assignment for Rob, and then I have to make them all into a webpage.
It might not seem like a lot of work, but believe me it is. On top of that Thursdays and Fridays are packed with the posting of the Pioneer. I also have Blogs to do for Rob’s class as a course requirement. If anyone thought Print Journalism was hard, then they should really check out how hard E-Journalism is.
My main problems with the course are the fact I came into it with a totally different skill set than my classmates. I have been using multimedia and computers since 1994 when I was introduced to it at Dunbarton High School. So I am unchallenged mentally in the course. There are a few classes, some of Rob’s and Dan’s, that I really learn something. Joe’s chalk and talk generally looses me out of confusion within the first 10 minutes of the class. His class reaffirms why I did not take business classes, I personally think he speaks Russian to us in that class. Hersh needs to get out of the clouds and join the normal populous on the planet Earth. I never been in a class with no direction what so ever or requirement. Am I passing or failing. What exactly are we doing? The main theme in that class seems to be play around. At first he was going into lectures about fundamentals, and although most of it seems irrelevant I was able to keep on track, and then we went into a funny curve that ended up with him learning the software within class time, and then him rambling about this and that. I couldn’t handle it anymore, and I asked him what the point of that class was? Of course, he got offended. I really think he did not understood what I meant. I do not mind Hersh but it seems he needs let us all know what the deal is going on. For example my assignments, when are they do? He has not collected one thing since the beginning of the semester.
The last class was spent learning the boring difference between http, ftp asp and webdev which I think webdev is pointless. The way he was speaking about it seems he did not truly understand the concepts. Then we spent the longest time “learning” to connect through dreamweaver to the remote server. So basically I could have slept in that morning, because coming to class was pointless for me. Even Roger and Adam were able to connect easily. I also think he could have a better way to instruct. He just tells Adam and Roger and fiddle. I am sorry but that just does not work because I just have people asking me questions. I do not mind answering their technical problems but I really do not get my work done. Can’t Dan and Hersh teach the class together? Dan also teaches design at George Brown, so it is not an impossible thing.
Tomorrow it is Joe’s Class and Rob’s Online class. Wow such a full day… ( a five hour gap or more of NOTHING btw, so I hope to get some work done.
A girl from the bus I promised to make dinner for wants to come over. She is cute, but she has a boyfriend. I owe her the dinner anyway because I made her help me with an assignment.
Am I searching for “the one”? Hell no, she can come to me. ( searching for her is too much work.
