I'm glad you're okay, Supes. I hope things get better for you soon :S
In other news, i am absolutely furious with my tutor
This story is going to be long and i apologise.
Yesterday a friend and i didn't go into class, and instead went to do some errands around town (as we're not allowed to do, usually, due to being on report). My tutor has basically told us we need to do 8+ hours a day of class and to treat it 'like a job', but we're not really allowed lunch breaks and thus can't get anything done during that day, so we just decided fuck it and went anyway. I at least had a class related reason; i needed to go shopping for some art supplies. We also ended up visiting a store to ask about selling some of our art there and went to my old class building to talk to our tutors from last year. It was really nice seeing them, and they seemed to appreciate us checking in.
Anyway while we were there, we mentioned offhand that in the first semester, my current tutor (Janet, though there are other tutors who assess us) kept mentioning that she had no idea how to assess my friend's project as he is making a game. We didn't tell our old tutor who we were talking about, and we said that now we were on track etc. Today, Janet came storming into the room and said that she had heard that we had both said that the tutors had no idea how to assess our work, and then gave us a lecture on how the only problems they would encounter with assessing were with us not doing enough work; especially me even though i wasn't involved. I told her that wasn't the context at all, and she left again in a huff. Every single student in the class wtf'd at what happened; it seems like she took it personally? Even though we didn't mention it was her?
Anyway, later on she came in and implied that i had lied about buying new art supplies and had just been lazing around all of yesterday because i hadn't brought them in, despite the fact that i was drawing that day and had brought (bulky) papercraft supplies, and the fact that we had run into one of the other fine arts tutors at the other campus and at the art store. At this point i was fuming.
She came in again later and noticed that i had (a week ago) set the backgrounds of the computers to a picture of my face, and asked why; my friend mentioned that he had done something similar. She then asked us if we even wanted jobs, going to my most hated pet peeve (the good old 'when you're in the real world' speech)and then looked surprised that i've been employed as a junior designer before
As if goofing around with peers once during class is a good indicator for what i'd be like in a work place
I'm so fucking mad
