i don't feel like my needs are being met as a student. While the school has much to offer in the way of facilities, and the teachers are well versed in their respective programs, I frequently need to remind myself that this is a highly technical school. basically I need to keep telling myself that I am enrolled in a tradeschool, that trade just happens to be "art". A large part of the problem seems to be in separating form and content. All I am learning here is form. each class either introduces a new program, or delves more deeply into one. The work being produced is totally devoid of meaning.

 

Right now I just want to learn how to say something. Communication. I want to develope the idea, the message. I just keep telling myself that this will pass, and that now i just need to do my work. that the important thing is that peice of paper that I'm working towards, but I realize that that peice of paper only means that I'm willing to do this work that I don't want to do, work that I find both meaningless and pointless.
