Dont Write Me Off

Alright. here's the deal.

I'M GOING TO GET THE PROJECT DONE! (and done to the best of my ability)
i swear
working full time, going to school full time, never having money, constantly being sick this semester, and never getting any sleep have certainly caused me to be in a different place in my project, but hell if I'm not trying. ( i know that i'm not the only college student that deals with this and much more day in and day out, but it doesn't change the fact that it's true for me) i HATE that i'm probably going to make a bad grade because i didnt pick a project that i'm lukewarm about. i'm sorry i didnt take photos of my dog or some awkward couple i know, but that's just not quite me.

wait for the final project day.

i get that there's all of these mini-deadlines and you're trying to teach us how to have a good work flow, how to print and re-print, etc... but come on. is there no consideration of different circumstances that come into play for people who aren't living on campus with mom and dad's money and have very little else to do during the day?
i haven't slept well in almost a month because of this class.
it's ridiculous. even when i'm asleep i get nightmares that i've got everything done and finished, but i wake up and have slept through the critique.

i guess i've already made my bad impression. it really truly was not my intent. i've enjoyed this class and i've learned a great deal about the medium. i dont want to burn my bridges and i get that there has to be some sort of system of accountability for a month of class work, but just be aware that i'm a person.

i have way too much of my plate right now. and i'll admit i've added even more with this project. i get it. you were probably right. and i really hope you dont feel disrespected by my project choice. that really wasnt my intent. I want for you to understand, I want for you to appreciate what it is i'm doing and help me when you can and i know that you are trying your best... but i can feel you writing me off. Dont. I'm better than that. I know i'm not like the other people in this class and I know i'm not going to be one of those people who lives off grants the rest of their career... but i care about this too, and I'm really taking your criticism and your advice and i appreciate how much it is helping this project.

i'm still going to do the project that i set out to do. i know in my heart that it will turn out how i want for it to. i just worry about the reception it's going to get...

expect 10 perfect prints on monday. i'm doing wProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

t i say i'm doing. i'm working on this whenever i can, it takes a lot of time and crafting to get this project right. it's not as easy as going out and just taking your camera with you wherever you go, you know?

like i said. 10 perfect prints on monday.

maybe then we can start over?
