Sheridan College - Week...Who Knows Anymore?
Hey guys! Been awhile I did a post about my life at Sheridan so I thought now would be a good time.
I believe it's week 11 or 12 now, not really sure everything is just all over the place, you should see my room! It's coming down to end of the semester and I could not be more happier! I love Christmas but I love it more when I'm with family. I'll definitely be going home I don't know how some students can pay an extra $200 to stay on campus for 3 weeks...I would hang myself. No joke.
I've been hitting a lot of speed bumps lately, one assignment in my color theory class I didn't do too well on cause I didn't completely grasp the concept of the assignment so I going to do the assignment all over again, which the teacher said I could he's cool and knows I can do better, the only thing is redoing that assignment along with the other large time-consuming one that's due the following week. My sleep pattern is already messed up we'll see how that goes.
English has been a pain in my side, I don't understand that if you need University level English to even be consider for the course why do you need to take it after you get it? Sometimes I completely forget that I have an english class because of the all the art assignments I'm juggling at the same time. My english class on Thursdays at 3:00-6:00pm which sucks because I'm up from 5am to get to my 8am class that same morning which ends at 11am so that gives me about 4 hours between which I don't mind cause I use that time to get stuff done but by the time I get to class and my monotone teacher starts talking I'm falling asleep...
I have a report and presentation this week so wish me luck cause I don't do well speaking in front of people. I'm like Mia in The Princess Diaries.
Because of work I wasn't able to go to the portfolio information session they had at school so I asked my teacher if he could set me up with a one-on-one interview with a teacher or student to look over my work for Computer Animation and Photography but he keeps leaning me towards photography when I keep telling him and asking him about computer animation. It kinda feels like he wants to lean me in that direction which I wouldn't mind, I really like photography and maybe get into it one day in the future but I want to do Computer Animation so badly it's killing me!
Speaking about work...I made a mistake about my schedule and didn't know I was schedule on Tuesday and when I found out it was too late because I have absolutely NO and I mean dead serious not even bread NO FOOD where I'm staying. And no money so I can't take the bus to go out and get food. Tuesday are our grocery bus days and I thought I had the day off but apparently I didn't and when I called in to apologize and explain the situation, they barely let me and wrote me up. This has never happened to me before so getting written up was kinda hard for me.
And to top it off the all people I talk to, all the people that make me laugh uncontrollably, all the people who were nice to me when I first got there and taught me everything I needed to know are leaving! Which I don't blame them. They're either transferring or quitting because the hours are just not there and the management is bad which are all true...So now I'm stuck with all the miserable, uptight, mean people...
It's been a tough few weeks and missing my family does not help the situation. I haven't cried once since I got here and everyone I talked to said I would...at least 7 times because they know how emotional I can be, well I proved them wrong until today. I called my Mom to explain the situation at work and how everything at the grocery store was so expensive I don't have money for, she encouraged me so much and reminded me of why I'm where I am and remembering all the stuff that I don't have to do and all the crap I don't have to take. She broke me down right there in the middle of the store. I was so embarrassed but so grateful cause I needed a word of encouragement so badly.
I sent out a small message on our work Facebook page because I know what's like if someone doesn't come in for their shift how stressful it is for everyone else, apologizing how I couldn't be there and the amount of love I got back, from the people leaving non the less!, almost made me cry again!
So I guess what I'm trying to get at in this post is that for every up there's a down, for every east there's a west, for every Marvel character there's a DC one just like it and for every negative there's a positive so you gotta remember these things make you better, they make you know better for next time.
So, you gotta stay strong and keep your head up.
It's these words that will keep me for the rest of the semester and into 2016 God's willing.
Stay strong and be blessed guys!
Oh and Christmas is tomorrow. Basically.
