I am kind of pissed off and I need to get it out here on SG.
I have to give a little background before I continue...I got my BFA in jewelry/metals/CADCAM and realized I didn't like it as a profession. College was a really bad time for me. A lot of bad stuff happened and I didn't try my best in school because I just didn't care. Once I graduated I got a customer service job for 2 years and hated it though I started convincing myself that is was the right thing for me since I had no purpose in life. I was then dating my bf and he hated to see me like this and suggested I go back to school and even suggested SCAD. I was so excited I almost crapped my pants!
I have never been away from home this long EVER so it was a big thing for me but I was determined and still am.
I came to SCAD and took non-degree seeking courses so I could apply to the video game department. I was going to get another BFA but some of my undergrad courses wouldn't transfer and the advisor suggested I apply to grad school...SHE SAID that a lot of people do that. So I did and got in and this is my first semester as a grad student.
SO yeah...onward to the reason why I am angry.
I have an issue with my classes at school. Since I am a grad I am not allowed to take undergrad classes (which is stupid) but the class I HAD to take was canceled because not enough people were taking it so they told me they would put me in an undergrad course as an "independent study" and that they would take care of everything...(realize I had no say in any of this) FINE I am fine with that, but then last week I didn't have access to the class online any longer and my teacher told me that I was no longer on his class roster ARGHH!!!!! so annoying so I finally met with my grad advisor today (who was supposed to meet with me before classes started and didn't) He said that my teacher will have to give my grades to him and he will put it into my independent study course but I still don't have access to the class notes or anything so of course he was like "I'll figure it out for you"
Then he goes on to ask me what I want to do in video games and I said I don't know. I have only been recently introduced to this stuff so I truly don't know what I want to do...this is a whole new experience for me.
He then looked at me like I was an idiot and said "how did you get into grad school if you didn't know what you were doing? Grad school is to refine the skills you already have..." I was like WTF! I got in and even got a honors scholarship because I maintained all As (and I mean like 100% in every class) in the non-degree seeking courses I took. Then I explained about my BFA and how I just didn't like it as a profession and he said "well how do you know that won't happen again.." I felt like I had to defend myself against my own advisor. IT MADE ME SO ANGRY...I couldn't even explain it well because I just wasn't prepared for it.
So now I just feel discouraged and angry. I have a lot of work to do and can't even bring myself to sit down and work. I figured writing a blog would help which it is and my bf is giving me lots of hugs and encouragement as well. It just pisses me off when people that are suppose to support me through school are making me feel like quitting...trust me I won't and I will show him how amazing I am...but it just hurts
anyway...with that rant over I wanted to show you guys the finished game that my team made for class...
I also have close ups of the cards if people are interested in seeing them...

I'm so sorry you had that happen to you. I never had good luck with college, just wasn't for me. I'm sure it'll work itself out. Try to think positive.
