school is actually coming along nicely. every class they tell us "read the text; it doesnt matter if you only understand 10% of it, you will understand 80% by the end of class, and 100% by the end of the day"
its true too; but im beginning to see that some of the kids in this course were NOT prepared for what we are being taught. paramount example: Rob (my Basic Audio teacher) told us from last class "read the text, inside out. this day will be the single-most important day of lecture, and applied theory in your WHOLE career in this school, AND this industry"
i read the text, and understood 70% of it. after class, i understood his entire lecture. moreso, it reinforces that it IS actually all coming together. all the lectures, theory, vocab, and applied exercises. im really on top of it.
problem is; while im here all excited because ive got it, i see people struggling. today Rob said to us "if you cant understand these concepts here today from this class, you might as well stop and not try to get into this business; because this is the root of which everything else is built upon". fuckin honest, yeah? well, not so cool for all those other people. most (about 80%) of the class has this look of strees in action on their faces, and clearly painted "OH FUCK" on their foreheads.
mmm, it feels good to excel in what you love.
