I cant fall asleep

turn off the computer, let yourself relax :3

Never said anything bout the TV or psp XD

A warm Milo does the trick ( well for me anyways ), i go out quickly.

Well, im gonna drink some kool aid. get some more pillows. find my remote. and go to sleep. GOOD NIGHT WBO PEOPLES!

Wow, what an awful thing to wake up to. I got up this morning to the news that one of my favorite teachers from high school, and the best English teacher I ever had -- the one that really pushed me to write -- died of cancer at 42 years old.

I'm a wreck right now.

That's terrible to hear Roan. It's unfortunate that someone so influential to you passed away so soon.

I'm sorry to hear that Ryan

I have just finished a clients letter heads. I'm also still learning Illustrator CS2. It is quite easy to pick up, but it's definately bigger than Photoshop for sure!

I'm sorry to hear that Ryan. Stay strong. I'm sure many people will be thinking about you.

Espio broke the somberness. ^^;

Uh, my school is a joke at the moment. I'm forced to go to lessons which I'm not doing anything in when they could just leave me and let me get some coursework done. I hate it when you're forced to do something that nobody benefits from but a few people suffer from just because it's the rules. I prolly just sound petty but it really gets me wound up.
This was what I did today;
1st period: Mess around on the computer/spend ages waiting for it to load
2nd period: Mess around on the computer/spend ages waiting for it to load
3rd period: Sleep
4th period: Panic
5th period: Sleep
Five hours just wasted. /rant

I remember those crappy classes. Thankfully it improves one you hit university. There are still some useless things you have to learn in first year, but second year onwards it is much more enjoyable and useful (providing you like your major)

Uh, I'm not even sure I want to go to Uni anymore. I mean, it'll be useful to have even better qualifications and it'd be fun as hell but I don't think I could finance it and it'd just be me procrastinating with where I'm going in life......=_=

I wasn't going to go to uni. But it looks like I may have to to avoid the current financial crisis. Stay in hiding and then when you come out everything is better. It is hard to get in Graphic Design without the piece of paper saying you can do it. This is why I'm taking another year out and possibly going to uni next year. That would mean I have another year if experiance and hopefully be able to fast track =D.

Will not look forward to the £10,000 odd debt though =(.

Ok, I get to work at 6, which is the time I'm meant to go in every Wednesday, I get there and find out my days have been changed
They did this before but atl east my old manger made the effort to ring me up last time and tell me my hours had changed. ERGH hate my new manger, so close to leaving.

You really think so? How can a piece of paper be held above quality samples of work you present to potential employers? Of course, it doesn't hurt to have it, and I too will be going to college for graphic design, but it is hard to believe that a diploma could mean that much in graphic design.

Unfortunately this is the plight of the devaluation to the degree/diploma. Jobs that never really needed them before, are now almost mandated to have them. Jobs that needed them before now pretty much mandate a higher level than before. A lot of Graphic Design companies just want a diploma/degree just due to the volume of graduates. I guess it makes the selection process easier. I am a business student, and I probably will have to go back to get some form of certification or Masters degree to advance my career. Some companies even send their employees back to school.

I cant wait until i can do this

=( I'm not looking forward to Uni/college anymore. Still dunno what I want to major in. BTW, do you have to take mandated classes your freshman year in college, such as English, Math, hisory, and Sciences; like in high school?

It's actually the reverse. Sociologically it is referred to as "credential inflation." For the reasons you mentioned, that expensive piece of paper is highly valued. In a society where there are more people than jobs, and where you don't know the people well (generally speaking), you want to hire the best in order for your company to be the best it can be. As such, that piece of paper becomes more valuable, as it acts as a symbol of that.

I understand why this is the way it is (as noted above), but it still sucks regardless. However, what really can you do (unless you personally know the people).

I stand corrected. Thanks for clearing that up.

Also Pichuscute, it all depends on your major really. You will have prescribed courses in your first year but how many varies. A liberal arts student will have fewer mandated courses than a Biology or math major. It also depends on the school. My program though business is mostly set course wise for the first two years. However they are all business related. You will need to research the different programs to see what suits you best.

Sorry man, i know what thats like.

A girl-friend of mine was surrounded by death. Her mom killed herself, her best friend killed herself, her grandparents kicked her out for being a lesbian. Her dad died 3 months later of a heart attack, she was a wreck. I loved her though.
