discouraged
I just got out of my illustration 5 class where I had a longish talk with my teacher. It wasn't really anything I hadn't been told before either by him or myself, but it was just all at once and at a time when I'm feeling especially stressed.
What it came down to was basically this: You're doing well, but you can and should be doing better.
I do not dispute this, I've been telling myself this in my head for a couple weeks at least. But now its been said to my face. Part of what makes it hard to swallow is knowing how true it is. Afterward my teacher said, "I feel like I've kind of beat you up. I really meant to be encouraging. Be encouraged." And once I get over it I probably will be. I guess "I believe you have more than this in you" is sort of encouraging.
Anyway. I really needed to talk to someone about this but there won't be anyone to actually talk to until after class and work which is still hours away. So I decided to tell you guys.:-}
This was typed on my kindle, sorry for any typos. My new computer should arrive tomorrow though... thats encouraging :-)
