I am pray for patience at the moment.
I am in the last days of my college career. I don't have final exams, or tests really of any kind. However my final is my art (graphic, and illustration) portfolio.
I am at stage "2" right now in class (that's on schedule). The third quarter is broken down into 4 different stages 1- was the beginning of it, I was a day behind in beginning stage two because we have to be approved for the next stage (aka: step). I had one thing hindering me from moving on (my menu). My instructor for that is none other than the president of the school, who I swear to you has ADD and ADHD and needs to be put on that adult ritalin. He honestly drives me mental!!!! He is always changing his mind about something that either you are doing, or have done for him. Also, if it is not his way it is the highway for you. Believe me.... he (Tim) FAILED me on ALL of his projects last year, when all of my other instructors gave me either A's or B's on their projects.
I am stamped off on the menu after two $65 print outs (yeah it sucked!!!!)
And a day into the second group. Where I sit now in 2nd group is I just got my 5th stamp this morning out of a total of 8. This group is over next Wednesday and next Thursday begins the 3rd group (the final group before my portfolio show). On Wednesday May 11, 2005 my FULL portfolio is due and it has to be completed (with everything mounted and it has to be perfect).
I am also doing my annual report, and duhduhda... it is with none other than Tim. When I first met with him, he told me that I didn't have to "redo" the whole design aspect, but that he wanted me to make A LOT of changes to it (aka: starting over). He also wanted me to have a design referance. So I have been busting my butt looking for one. I found one in the "How" magazine (the school bought me a subscription to it for a year) . But I still need the patience to work with this irrogant man. Like now, I need to speak with him now. But seriously- I am afraid to. Because I always get huffed up, and mad at the world when I speak to him.
As well with my portfolio I have to have my idenity (my personal letter head, envelope, and business cards) set professionally printed on an off set press. That at the moment is being done. The documents are currently at the printers, the cost for that is $510.63. I have $250 in my savings for this print job. I was planning to use my federal tax return for the rest, but I have yet to receive it. I have all ready gotten my state tax return back about two weeks ago. The print job will be finished either Tuesday or Wednesday.
I really seriously wish that my family (aka: the guys I live with at the moment), would understand what I am going through right now. In less than 19 days I have to have my completed portfolio finished and the print outs mounted on the boards we were provided with... with NO mistakes!!!! If it is rejected, I will NOT graduate on May 28, 2005. If I do not get this all finished I WILL NOT GRADUATE. If I do not graduate my dad is literally going to kill me, he is the one that co-signed for the two student loans totaling at $37,000 and that is not including my desk, laptop, or my two printers that I got with the loan.
You all can call this my break down!!! I want to cry, but there is no time to cry. I need help, but there is no where to get it with what I need.
