bluejeans07My class ended today at 1:15PM, very convinient for me since I had a meeting with the new department chair Ann over my schedule. I was hoping to waive a class because I didn't need it, it was for editorial illustration when I was going into entertainment.
So I go to the department chair's office and sit... and sit... and sit... The damned woman blew me off! I was a little annnoyed but one of the office people told me that her secretary could sign stuff for me. So I talked to the secretary Amy, and then got told I couldn't WAIVE that class because it was REQUIRED and the new chair was going to get more strict on the rules.
WHAT THE HELL?!
First of all, that class is ILLUSTRATIVE FIGURE PAINTING, I sit in a room, breath in oil painting fumes and paint a naked body, something I have DONE REPEATEDLY since second term. I DON'T NEED THESE CLASS ANYMORE! I'm taking TWO classes that I DON'T need right now and I took purely entertainment routes through them, despite the fact that my teachers don't know a BLOODY THING about entertainment art! They are EDITORIAL ARTISTS!
Secondly, this is MY FUTURE we are talking about here! I don't NEED a portfolio that is FILLED with editorial work when I'm trying to get into the entertainment field! My friend, an ACCD alum who works in the student store has a portfolio full of editorial stuff when she was trying to get into entertainment, and now because of it, she has no job in her chosen field and is making ends meet by working in the bloody student store! That is not what I want for my future! MY PORTFOLIO WILL BE FILLED WITH ENTERTAINMENT STUFF DAMMIT!
So, I leave the Dept Chair's office to complain to my friend, then get told to find Gary Meyer, a teacher who has been around ACCD forever, is really great and advises students. I stop by and complain to my mentor David Limrite for a bit (as well as got some great advice to be PERSISTANT) and I found Gary in his class. He listened to my problems and then told me that no one has told him ANYTHING. NADA. NONE. He doesn't know what's going on because no one has told him about all the changes they're implementing in the school!! And HE'S USUALLY THE FIRST TO KNOW. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT ALL THE ILLUSTRATION STUDENTS GO TO GARY MEYER FOR SCHEDULE ADVICE!!! He does give me a paper though that explains that Illustrative Figure could be waived for an entertainment class, so with paper in hand, I go back to the Dept Chair's office to schedule another meeting.
Before I went to the secretary, I checked to see if Ann was in her office. Sure enough, she was. I could see her through the glass doors on the phone. I tried the knob. Locked. Peeved, I stand outside and stare at her until she's done talking on the phone. Her secretary saw me and I waved, she waved back, puzzeled that I was back after I had just been there. So, I ended up standing outside my dept chair's office OVER HALF AN HOUR. She's FINALLY off the phone but doesn't look in the direction of the door, so I knocked loudly to let her know I was outside.
She lets me in but is in a hurry to get me out because she has another meeting with another student, so I explain to her quickly what's going on and show her the paper. She takes one look at it, says that I can waive the class and then very politely, kicks me out of her office. I stopped by the secretary and explained that I could waive the class, and then ran down to tell David and Gary what was going on. Gary told me this was the first news he's heard of scheduling conflicts in the entire term and thanked me for it. I ran up to the library to try to figure out which class to take.
NOTHING IS BLOODY LISTED IN CAMPUS WEB ON WHICH CLASSES I CAN SUBSTITUTE!!
So after twenty minutes of searching, I go back to the secretary's office. There is another student inside. Bloody hell. I sit outside and wait. Then I get up and check the computers again, listing possible classes I could take. I go back to the secretary's office. Bloody hell, same student. I sit and wait until she's gone, and then I RAN in and gave her the paper, filled it out with Digital Painting for Entertainment, got her to sign it and finally submitted it into Enrolllment services.
If they do not let me take this class, I will CRY, SCREAM, DECAPITATE, ETC so that I can WAIVE the FUCKING CLASS that I DON'T NEED.
Oh, all this began at 1:30PM. I left school at FOUR FUCKING FORTY PM. It should not take MORE THAN HALF A BLOODY HOUR to get all this straightened out, yet it took THREE HOURS AND TEN MINUTES of me running around the bloody campus, finding out information, stalking my dept chair, stalking her secretary TO GET MY SCHEDULE FOR NEXT TERM TO BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND BENEFICIAL TO MY FUTURE!!!
RAWR. I hope a polar bear eats someone on LOST today just to reflect my mood. Maybe it'll eat Sawyer. PLEASE POLAR BEAR EAT SAWYER!
Hey Zug, yell at the bureacracy for me tonight!
Aja. There's a quiet creativity and understated
beauty within you.
