I'm finally done with all my photo classes for the semester, and I've only got 1 final tomorrow... Which might not even be a final, so yay! Suspension project is finished, so what's up is all I'm doing for it. It's going to be up in my Professor's gallery in South Boston on Thursday, though. But it'll be up along with the rest of the class, so I don't feel that special. Plus gallery isn't where I ultimately envision anything I do, so yeah... Not super psyched about it, but it'll be interesting to say the least... I've got a few ideas bouncing around in my head for next semester, including a lot of things involving blown out backgrounds. I'm trying to make ethereal my word for next semester. For classes, I've got Digital Illustration, which is about telling stories with pictures and stuff, and as a class we get to make a deck of cards... Woo! Then I've got Theory and Crit, which is about photo theory i guess? That's gonna suck, it's all reading and essays and stuff... Boo! I've also got this class called Deconstructing the Delivery, which I don't even really know what it's about... Something to do with documentary and "truth" in photos... It might be awesome it might be horrible. Meh! And my last photo class, which I'm thinking about swapping for a gen. ed. at the start of the semester, is Portraiture. Why would I not want to take portraiture? I love portraiture! It's about all I do! Well, I'm really trying not to take the teacher that's teaching it this semester... Not that she's hard... Well, she kinda is. From what I've seen and heard, she like what she likes and grades accordingly, she likes to try and make people do ridiculous amounts of work in a short period of time, she likes to give TONS of short projects instead of less longer ones, and she likes to make people change their projects into things she likes. So, I might give the class a week and decide whether or not to drop it then. Boo! And I'm also taking Oceanography, so that's cool. Yay! I hope I get to enjoy my measly two weeks off before the new semester starts. I also hope that I can rekindle my love for photography, cause right now, unless I'm actually shooting, I don't like it. Which is lame. I'm supposed to love this, and because of the way the school's run, it's making me not... Everyone's too artsy-fartsy at my school, and I want to be in magazines, not galleries. I want to be able to be kinda shallow, but everything has to be so deep at my school. I'm hating it right now, this past semester was torture. Here's hoping to a better semester in a few weeks.
