Add/Drop Again

Feb 2nd, 2009 Posted in Classes | no comment »

Good evening everybody? How was your day today? Well for me it started pretty early. I was suppose to start school today at 12:10, but after finding out last night the requirements for the English comp I didn’t really want to stay in that class. Yeah, I know, I already switched the English section ones, but there are so many section, I knew one would feet me perfectly. So, I arrived to FIT at 8:55 this morning and waited for the Registration Office to open. As soon as it did I changed my English section to a different one that begins at 9:10. It was great! the instructor is so nice and even though I wasn’t in the previous class I could participates the discussions and it wasn’t boring at all, like people say “third time is a charm :) “.

I had than three hour break which I thought I would utilize all of it for doing my perspective homework. But I had a little change of plans… I decided to drop the Pencil Rendering class, not because it’s not interesting or anything, but because it is such an easy class that I would probably prefer taking it on my fourth semester when I have a lot things to do, and this one would be an easy A. The second reason I chose to drop it is that I would have enough credits to take the Professional Practice class. Now, this class is open ones in two semesters, because there is a continuation to it, so if I would have not taken it now I would have had to wait until my third semester and the second part of it would be on my fourth one, which I really want to try and have as less class as possible. Plus, my studio instructor has expressed deeply her opinion about it. And when she does that it means that it’s more than suggestion, but some kind of obligation, so that’s what I did.

You know this days where nothing is for free, and when one has an opportunity to charge for something they do that? Well it append to me today and I was in shock! When I went to the registration office for the second time I saw on the bottom of my printout that they charge me 25$ What for? I asked, and when I protested and asked to speak with the super visor, they let me and everything went to place. But I just can’t believe after all the money I’m paying for tuition they are asking for more, for one add/drop action, that’s just unheard off!

After all the drama I did manage to do some drafting for perspective but not enough, I have a feeling I’ll be up late today. But no worries, coffee is my best friend now ;)

Than my last subject today was Art History class. He was very nice again, The class is not that boring, (considering it’s still History…) And I learned a new word, but there is no way you’ll guess what it is… Well? any ideas? YOLK, yeap the yellow in the egg, don’t ask me how we started talking about it in a history class, but a word is a word, and I expand my vocabulary every single day. Back to history, he gave us a list of about 30 art works that we need to know the artist. year, and the name for a quiz next week. yes, my jaw dropped too, and all those names, for me they sound the same…

Oh well, it’s school after all even though it’s an art school we do some thinking sometime… And have a lot of alnighters, at list mostnighters (it’s a new term, made by me :D ) Good night all.

Second day in school

Hello everybody, how are you doing tonight? Well I’m tired again, because like yesterday I had a nine to nine day. It’s hard but at list I have an extra free day of school.

The day started with AutoCad, which is suppose to be instead of drafting. I don’t know how I feel about it yet. The instructor was nice and after she finished explaining things she walked between us to see if we have questions about what she just said. It wasn’t that hard, but because we have a lot of material to cover she was very fast… But, overall I need to wait to the next class to see if I actually remember anything.

After AutoCad I had one hour of English Comp, remember I tolled you I switched sections, that section I switched to is split class, two hours on Monday and one on Tuesday. That instructor was nice but I felt like I missed so much and it only been the second day of school. She already gave homework as well to write some kind of essay, I don’t know.. I guess I’ll wait for the weekend to do it (I hope I won’t regret it).

Thanks god I had one hour of common hour enough time to grab lunch :) Than after lunch I had Studio 2… Ohhh, I just love this class, and I have the same instructor, what can be better than that?! Well, and as usual she put us right to work, we already went through our project 1 which is table arrangement, I’m pretty excited about that. I only worry about the table I got. I mean, she assigned us tables and said that if we really don’t want it we can switch.. I got the most ugly horrible table one can get, and on top of all that I was the only one to change it. I feel like a looser… :( At list I like the table I have now.

After Studio I had a subject I really wanted to take, Introduction to World Affairs. I wasn’t so angry at someone such a long time as I was at the instructor. I’m not going to get into it because I don’t want to open political discussions here, but he made me so angry, I don’t know how I stayed their until the end of class.

Now I’m obviously home and changing world affairs to something alse, I don’t know yet.. It’s so hard to fit anything in my schedule.. Well I’m going to try and concemtrate, so I’ll be here tommorow :)

Coming back to school

Jan 26th, 2009 Posted in Classes | no comment »

Finally was the first day of school, I was so glad to start doing something, anything… But I completely forgot how stressful it was. Homework for one thing, than projects, tests and research papers. If you want me to summarize in one word, exhausting!

My day started at 9:10, which is not bad, that’s what I wanted, and the first class was presentation techniques 2. The instructor is unbearable… He tried to tel jokes but wasn’t that successful, well at list we will be working more with markers this semester.

Than after presentation I had English composition. The regular instructor was on vacation or something like that so I couldn’t really tell weather she is good or not but the syllabus of the course was too much for me. Don’t get me wrong I’m not lazy, I just feel that I have to put more in the ID classes than English.. So as soon as the class ended I went strait to the library and changed section, hope the other instructor would be less demanding :)

After English I had History of Art, The instructor seemed nice disregarding the fact that I already argued with him about something. You see, I’m from Israel so I think I know pretty well the “old testament” or in another word the Torah. He was saying something about Eve not being the first women in the garden of heaven or something like that. And I’m pretty sure she was. Anyway, the class feels not that hard, just need to memorize a lot of dates pictures and artists, but I can do that, I think…

My last subject was Pencil Rendering, and guess what?? It is with the same guy as in the morning in presentation. Ohhh, I feel like I could not possibly start and end the day with the same annoying guy.. I’m starting to really miss my previous instructor for presentation. Even though the instructor is not a great find I can handle him..

And now you are probably wondering what am I doing at home already, well it was the first day of school what do you exspect?? He let us go earlier of course, but I don’t think it would happend again. Well, I’m already very tired so we will meet again in second day :)
