A Break

Today I think I'm just going to complain. Sorry. I feel like I'm not doing so great at this whole college/life thing lol. I don't feel like I'm grasping the concept that my teachers are going for. Maybe it's because one teacher is like a pregnant lady (only a man) and one day he likes something and pushes you in that design direction the next class time he hates it. THEN the next time you present new ideas as well as the other one he hated, because you like it, and then he loves it and tells you it's your best one yet. Trying to deal with that is driving me crazy and gets me very discouraged most of the time. I've lost my energy to want to do anything with this class because he never really likes anything. Well wait he LOVES my company name I created but as for my logo/trademark it's the thing that frustrates me the most. Apparently I'm going to be stuck with this trade mark the rest of the semester. Project #2 for this class is creating the logo, making letterheads, envelopes and business cards for it. Also, we have to create a standards manual for our company. A standards manual basically tells you how the trademark can and cannot be used. Finally at the end of the semester we will have to put together a process book about our company. Everything that went into it; the brainstorming for a company name, logo sketches, roughdrafts of our design manual, the process of making basically everything. It's hard because I'm sick of being tugged back and forth on the matter and I'm losing steam quite quickly over it. Here I am on the brink of being kicked out of the program and I can't find the motivation to fight. It's engulfing my life. I only work 22 hours a week and even with only 2 classes it feels like all my freetime is eaten up by homework. Sigh. I'm just depressed and discouraged today thats really all. I'm actually excited for fall break because a week off school feels like what I need.
