Sweeping Changes
I suppose I should do some dusting in here, it�s been a while since I�ve popped in to say anything lately. My commitment to regular blogging has been anything but steadfast, but I still feel bad when I fail to produce any random content for your amusement. I feel little need to update you on every little detail of how my life is progressing, suffice it to say that I am learning much lately about the business of web-design.
One topic I do wish to persue is my relationship with school and academics in general. Obviously I have never been what you might call a �good student�. I naturally rebel against the idea of a teacher demanding that I complete some meaningless assignment for some non-existent reward they dangle before us like the carrot that the donkey is forever cursed to follow.
Now, at college the academic situation is far better than it was during the years of public schooling that we all endure. Yet still some classes just bring out the rebellious nature of my personality. Specifically the art department here at UNK really tends to drive me crazy. Sometimes I really enjoy the projects that we get to do in art class. Most of the time I find these projects tedious and uninspiring. The art department as an entity seems to have it�s own personality, and this personality is not one that I find very appealing. The art department and the teachers in it that I have had contact with are pretty much convinced that the students in their classes will spend what little free time they have on their class alone, not to mention large sums of money on various art supplies that have an exorbitant markup placed on them at the campus book store. All of this is a formula for me to disregard much of what the art departments says and ignore many of the things that professors in that area tell me.
