Ermargerd!
Quick update because I have a billion things still left to do and I desperately need to sleep at some stage tonight!
I got an email back from the Australian Academy of Design about enrolling part-time in their Graphic Design course. Gave them a call in my lunch break today and I'm going in for an interview and to present my portfolio tomorrow! ERMARGERD! So I'm nervous and excited and nervous and stressed and I don't even know how it's going to go. I'm in the process of printing and collating all of my stuff into a folio. Thankfully I'd already been contemplating what I was going to put in it, though I didn't expect to have to do it until next year! My insecurities are creeping up, but I think I'll be ok. My work isn't that crap, I just have to stop comparing myself to everyone else. I'm really nervous that I haven't put the folio together properly, because seriously, never done it before. On the upside, they're not looking for professional standard because it's just to get in to the course!
I am also teaching in the arvo so I have to prepare for class, take everything with me in case I have to go straight to work and not die. New group tomorrow so super nerves all round!
Latest news on the job front - Box Hill have dropped me for this semester now. I'm still on the books, just not exactly working (except for resource development. Cause of course they'll drag that out of people before they completely fuck them over). They offered me one unit - and informed me the Friday before semester commenced. Thanks Baillieu government, for taking away my work; because of the budget cuts all sessionals have had their teaching hours reduced. Anyway, my SE being the dumb stupid bitch-whore she is didn't bother to communicate with me and so timetabled me to on a day I can't teach, because I already accepted other work that was offered. Cause I'm apparently just going to sit around and wait for them to throw work my way. And it doesn't even start for 6 wks. So, fuck you BH, seriously. Anyway, the response was, "unfortunately the course doesn't run on Fridays and this is the only unit we need to fill. We will keep you in mind if anything comes up." Yeah thanks, guys. Thanks a bunch. Anyway, not really that upset because I was so over that place, but financially it's going to hurt. I'm more pissed that they're being fuckheads about it all. Hooray for NMIT being super awesome and offering me more work. And they are so nice and supportive and helpful <3
Right, well I have so much shit to do before bed. Look at that - not a super ranty post for once :P I shall keep you updated on my application interview. If I get in, Orientation starts on Wed - so I'll go in the morning before work, which they know. Classes start next week! EEEEE!
