Sculpture, it seems, is not going to be nearly as amusing as I hoped, for several reasons. Perhaps I'm just being oversensitive and suffering a flaring case of Intellectual Elitism, but I feel really fucking weird taking a class from a guy who can't spell sketch or syllabus (schtch and silabus, respectively) and can't put together a correct sentence either verbally or on paper. The worst part being, I think, that he didn't even bother to spellcheck. That just . . . that drives me insane. On a syllabus! I feel kinda bad because I know he's foriegn, but his accent is rather muted and he says he's lived in the states for a long time. I also wouldn't have as much grumpy trouble if could actually communicate effectively, and not break into giggling at innapropriate moments, stopping his sentences in the middle and never finishing them, or staring out into space for long periods of time. Perfectly acceptable behavior for an artist in their studio, but awful difficult to *learn* anything from. There are other issues, as well: we'll be working primarily in wood, which is the fussiest fucking material ever for sculpting; a 'C' is considered a *good* grade in his class, and, well, on the petty side, the classroom is ridiculous dank and grey (which is not out of the oridnary for the Fine Arts classrooms . . . don't ask me why, but the entire Fine Arts building is *ridiculously* boring and windowless).

Hopefully, I can find something else to transfer into, though I doubt anything will be available by now. Alas. I shall have to live with one bad class. Woe is me.

Feeling good. Feeling very good. Swear to God that there's something excruciatingly magical in the air right now. Maybe that's just me.

I am actually really, really excited for Chrysalis. I haven't been axcited to go to a party in about a year. The prospect of dancing all night is a very pleasing one.

Yay for ridiculously incompetent art teachers. You're not being picky. They are supposed to be as professional as possible. It is a job. Correct spelling is just one of those things you have to learn to not look like a doof. I keep hearing rumors about some sort of sculpture class that somehow focuses on robotics. Robots are totally cooler than wood.

Good luck with the rest of your classes. I'm in that "looking for a new class that doesn't suck boat" too. I may just tack on a bajillion more hours in metals.
