wow.....
its been so god damn long since ive written on here. but since matt re-broke his livejournal cherry, id figure i would as well. we can gayly communicate about our lives since we live an atlantic ocean apart.
so let me stress one thing n get it out in the open. RIT sucks major fucking balls. this college does everything in its power to make the college life the most miserable experience EVER! heres why, that i know of off hand:
1: not their fault but, the weather here is fucking pathetic. its cold n miserable, n the people who live here are complete fat idiots.
2: they stubbornly keep this quarter system to fuck us over from wanting to transfer out of here.
3: workin hand in hand w/ the quarter system, they give us a semesters worth of work in 10 weeks.
4: the fall n spring quarter we have class for 10 weeks straight n no time off at all. our breaks all lie inside the winter quarter period.
5: the teachers are convinced that the students in their class only take that class, n no other! which means, that you should focus all of your time on that class, n that class alone.
6: the campus is dry
7: the computer labs, dark rooms, studios, school store, n all other places that students need to be open, close early on weekends.
8: though the school as accepted a shit ton of girls, they are all still taken
9: the school does not give us any government holidays off
10: the school throws in an extra week of school for finals, n the teachers use it just because they can when they could have easily been cool, n given the final test, or critique on week ten instead.
11: photo students get docked (punished) because they checked out their dark room or studio a minute late.
12: RIT has a big art department, yet our school mascot looks like a retarded baby drew it
13: the school was so cheap, that they used blue prints from an architect that built designed the school to be in a dry n arid place that relies on wind to cool everyone down thats there. when rochester is a very very windy n cold place to begin w/.
14: RIT HAS AN ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAM!!!!!
15: fine art teachers are so bent on this whole contemporary style that they completely shun every other style out there. (even art history teachers compare old famous artists to new artist in completely out of context ways. and what the fuck is "the essential of essentializin a space"? is that like metaphorically using a metaphor?
16: rit sucks
n how can they even bother asking why theres so much retention goin on, when all of these problems are literally slapping them in the face?
anyways.....
i really wish matt didnt go to scotland. nor jeremy. i would have had normal room mates. matt would have been the best room mate ever. cleaner, nicer, n actually present in the apartment. n to be a good critic of my work.
but whatever.
i also quit my job. i quit the applebees in pitsford New York. the yellow rat bastard elvis wannabe pissed me off for the last time. seriously this little asian piece of shit got to my nerves so much. so pretty much, i was one of about 3 cooks that knew what we were doin. n this guy's selective hearing fucked me over so muich in the past 2 yrs. not givin me days off that i had asked for, for like 2 weeks straight. anyways, one of the biggest things that made me annoyed, was he would always say "this isnt jersey, we dont do that here." n i would tell him that this isnt china, n you dont pay your employees such shitty wages. so one saturday lunch, im workin n he's doin a poor job managing. he's naggin me about something. n i kinda screamed back at him. so, again, he says, "this isnt jersey! that attitude isnt welcome here! clock out n go home if youre gunna be like that!" so i told him, "youre right, this ISNT jersey, cause in new jersey, they treat me w/ respect, n actually pay me good." i told him to fuck off, n used that italian "fuck off" sign when the hand under the chin thing... n walked out on a really really busy lunch. i actually felt good about it, cause when i was leaving he turned from yellow to white in like seconds flat n his jaw was on the floor chillin. i went back to get my paycheck, n all the employees thought i was god, n actually some people actually followed me, i didnt notice that, but people said they did. the boss wanted to know if i was just blowin steam n if i was comin back. n i seriously paused, n then laughed in his face. i would seriously be unemployeed then ever work there ever again.
so i am.... unemployeed
im sellin shit on ebay to keep payin rent. n to save up money for a ticket to scotland in march. plus, a new applebees is openin up on a better location, n its actually at an awesome time, they open in january. n new applebees do really good when they 1st open, n then when the nice weather comes, it gets busy again. n since theyre openin up in january, the weekends will constantly be good. n if i were to stay at pitsford, i wouldnt have been able to transfer there. so it actually is a good thing i quit. n the boss thats gunna be there hates my old boss, so we already have some thing in common. they'll also need experienced servers to train the new idiots since pretty much everyone will be new. i should apply to it soon actually....
ive been banging out some good artwork this quarter already. matt would be proud. my printmaking teacher actually wants to turn me into a good printmaker since thats what i wanna do when i finally leave this gayt ass place. n im takin 2 print making classes next quarter. i kinda wish i could transfer over to ringling art school down in florida. but my credits wont be completely transfered since the quarter system is so gay. at the same time my printmaking teacher is so damn famous, n can really work to my favor after college. i only have to deal w/ the rest of this yr, fall n winter of next yr, n then grad school for another yr. n im done. so 2 1/2 more yrs. god i wanna get out of school! just so i can go back to school.... but get paid to go instead of paying to go.
the 2 kids that live below me are messin my life up. gettin me wasted n high every weekend. tony quit his job to do this ebay business full time, n jack got fired from great northern. so now the 3 of us are unemployeed, which means drinkin every weekend is inevidable(sp) jack doesnt care much about school anymore, n tony doesnt understand how hard it is to keep up w/ homework at rit. regardless of how many times we tell him. julie doesnt live in the apartment anymore, but still pays rent. kali has so many damn problems in her life right now, that this whole house can seriously be a fuckin reality show. it would put the surreal life to shame. julie still uses the apartment to throw these deaf parties, n they make a total mess that i have to clean up. why do i clean it? cause julie doesnt come back to clean, n i get annoyed of the mess. kali promises to clean something n never does. (sounds like amy) she also leaves EVERY LIGHT ON! (sounds like amy) julie buys a lot of food n never eats it (sounds like amy) julie is never ever here (sounds like amy) so now i live w/ 2 girls n they both act like amy!!!!! im cursed for life i bet. atleast i dont have like 400000000 coffee cups to clean every night. but i would rather have to deal w/ that then all the formers ive mentioned.
n my ulcers are comin back...
in august, i weighed 220. im down to 205. n then tony gets me high, n i eat everything i see. then the next day i eat 1 slice of pizza that tony's mom gave him.
ugh... i have to do a huge ass installation proposal for my installation class, a report on a peruvian artifact that i have NO INFO ON! cause the book that the teacher required isnt sold at the book store, nor amazon, nor barnes n noble, nor anywhere online. i can only get it on rit library's reserve, which i cant take home. my printmakin teacher surprised us w/ a final project that i have to do. make a book w/ all my prints. IF THE BOOK BINDING CLASS WASNT CANCELLED THIS QUARTER I WOULD HAVE KILLED 2 BIRDS W/ ONE STONE!!!!! my art gallery management class is the only nice one now, cause i still dont have to do shit in there but go on cool class trips every week. 3 credits, no homework, n the teacher is so crackedout i love it!
other then that, i want to kill myself. not really, but i wish i could go to sleep n never wake up. or go to sleep, n wake up when i graduate college. if that could ever be a possibility....
maybe i should make a really really bad solo album, stab myself in the heart, n everyone would love me.
i dunno. im tired, i have class in the morning, then have to hand in some work to gallery r w/ a proposal for a show. read up on paracas peru n see if this stupid burial shawl has enough info to bullshit 5 pages. go to my really pathetic drawing class, thats a complete joke, then go home n have kali think that im in a bad mood. try to convince tony that playin music at 11 pm is a bad idea cause the cops will come AGAIN. kill precious time on the computer, n then sleep.
