Blah and stuff
A few things - firstly my apologies for lack of anything lately. I've been either massively busy with work, or totally unmotivated in the brief moments I do have time. So, I'm still around. Just... moping and working :(
I think I'm going to quit my teaching job. I have to organise something to go to, first though. Budget is already tight as it is, but I seriously don't think I can put up with this shit anymore. It sucks that I have to give up something I worked hard for, but it's just not worth all of the other shit. So yeah. I haven't decided what to do next, but something has gotta change. I'm so miserable and angry and it sucks ass. I also miss having a life...
The next thing is kinda cool - I enrolled in a one-day Intro to Illustration short course. It's on this Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it! And, as a bonus I got a 50% discount for working at an affiliated TAFE. Hoorah! Something good came out of my lousy job...
I spent my entire long-weekend marking. My life officially sucks ass. And then I went to class today only to have most of my students half an hour late, one storm out after an argument with a presentation partner, another group forgot to actually save their presentation to their USB stick and the majority of the class fail to listen to my instructions (and that in their assessment book). Oh yeah, and one group just didn't turn up at all. URGH! I am so over them! Why did I waste my weekend on stupid, lazy and ungrateful students!! I should have just stayed in bed. Shit got sorted but it just pisses me off that there is so much drama for such a simple thing.
I am still undecided whether to enrol in the Graphics course. The main thing that is deterring me is the fact that money is already tight and if I am studying part-time things will just be worse. Idk what to do. I just want to be happy. Is that too much to ask?!
Ok, that's enough wallowing in self-pity. I have become such a rage-monster and I am so tired of being angry. I need to let things slide by, but it's just not in my nature to. I think that's why I need to quit. It's making me so angry and unhappy and I'm resenting the students.
Hope everyone else is doing ok! *Hugs* everyone!
