You can just ignore.
So. Yeah. I was bad and I called in sick. To be honest, I wasn't feeling all that hot...er..well I was feeling really hot, which is why I wasn't feeling well. But, I could have worked. The real reason for skipping work is I had to go to MHS (mah high school) and get my transcripts sent (which, I didn't do well in HS, so I am stressing over that)
I even failed graphic art and design. which, I dont think looks good applying for a visual arts and graphic art college. (yeah)
I have a good reason for failing though. The teacher was a douchebag. He had favoirtes,. I was not one of them. When I drew a piece for class, he told me it looked too much like anime, which wasn't an original style and I had to re do it. I changed the eyes, so they were not as big. He told me it still looked like anime, but he would accept it.
How is anime not an original style? I can paint in the style of art nouveau, rennisance, impressionism and it still wouldn't be original style. Because they were done before.
I realised that back then, but I was too shy to stick up for myself.
Because he had favorites, and I was shy, I didn't ask too many questions. but neither did he bother to come over and ask if we (meaning the group of us who were not his favourites) needed any help.
He was a some old hippie, who would talk endlessly to the class about how when he was young, he got his girlfriend pregnant, but didn't know about it years later. He found out his daughter had down syndrome, and he talked about how this child wrote him letters all the time.
Yeah. Sure are teaching a high school class.
Last but not least, I skipped three of his classes. come on,high school kids DO this. His wasn't the first class that I did it, and it wasn't the last. Somehow he was super offended, took me in his office and proceeded to bitch me out.
He told me he woudl have me suspended, my mother would have to re-enroll me into high school, and to not bother coming in for the exam because I was going to fail anyway.
I was so upset for the rest of the day, while everyone told me that he couldn't have me expelled for that, and it was too close to the end of the year. He never did expell me, and I never had to re enroll into HS (that was grade 11)
I also failed with a 48. I'm thinking, had I taken the exam and passed I may have actually passed the class.
I'm not sure how to explain this in a mature nice way if I am asked. (lol)
Also, I wasn't prepated with a huge portfolio. Some of my paintings are not complete, but I included them to show them what I had done so far. One of them is very very pretty, and she is not done. But I think they can see from it that I can paint.
I only have a handfull of actual pencil drawings, some of which I drew just recently to add in to the pile. One of them is an Anime Matsu Jun (lol) but I dont know how well he turned out.
So, I'm a bit stressing here. Not to sound condcided, but I know I have the talent, but I am wondering if those peices are enough to show it. you know?
Also, my mom is very suppportive of me, so are my friends, and Andrew.My grandmother on the other hand seems to think I have to continue to work if I want to go to school. I dont think I can work and study at the same time. I might slack off (which I did too much in high school)
I feel bad about going against my grandmother, because I always looked up to her and felt she gave the best advice. I'm worried because of this, what if I am doing the wrong thing? but how can it be wrong when it was right for so many others, and Its something that I want to to? I guess its not wrong per say. I guess I am just feeling insecure.
My confidence level has gone down a bit, but I will try to be optimistic while waiting to see if I am accepted.
I keep thinking,. WTF am I doing?!?! I'm just walking froward blindly. I HATE doing that, and I avoided it for so long, that now that I am doing it I am terrified.
But, I have to admit, there is a bit of a thrill in it too.
So, yes. Wish me luck!
....
I;m going to vomit. (j/k, lol)
(then if I am accepted there is submitting the loan and hoping it is accepted....) Student loans are not generally denied are they??
school,
stress
