Sorry for serial posting. After people in here calmed down, I decided to look over the shit I have to do for class. Between now and the beginning of July, this is what I have to have done:
- Entire ad campaign, promotional mailer and working prototype for a product I invented (got the idea and the sketches, don't know how to make the dummy)
- Storyboards for a children's book
- Some kind of printed booklet or brochure that is an auto-biography
- Three posters
- Final versions of two reports
And the best part of this shit is this particular program is specifically meant to be for "working people" - meaning you're apparently able to do all this bullshit while working eight hours a day. We only got two damn weeks for each report - I spend probably 10-12 hours each day of those two weeks making the report (has to be visual and written) and I still got a measly fucking B on the first one.
Meanwhile, my mother is bitching at me that I need to help her mow the lawn (huge, huge yard) and get a job. Not that any job's going to keep me around when they hear I need to take off for 2-3 weeks every few months. I just can't do all this. It's fucking overload.
I'm someone who needs a lot of down time. And of course I can't not work, nor can I drop out (long story, don't ask). I just don't know how I'm going to be able to do all this. Not to mention the cost of getting all this printed out when I have no money. I can claim it on my taxes, but that doesn't help me now. Not to mention I get not one cent in student loans, so I somehow also have to have $4700 to even be in class in July with no job. Apparently I'm not financially needy enough or something.
I just wish I could say 'fuck it' to either work or school.
