Hmmm, BRIT

You know what I think I'll do BRIT, an IT course, multimedia certificate IV, it's more along my lines of interest.
I was always against BRIT during my time in Uni, now I find that I hate uni, there was no real support structure, the lecturers just didn't seem to care half the time. Education, was fun while it lasted but, it was also very boring a lot of the time. I'm not particularily predeposed towards lectures, I can't stand sitting listening to a person for an hour, but then how do I know TAFE will be any different? Time will tell.

I may not have said this already, but I've watched this movie called Steamboy, and it was fantastic, well the animation was anyway. Most expensive japanese animated film ever with a budget of nearly thirty million. In american terms that's a fairly cheap film, but the Japanese can do so much more with a smaller budget. It even had Patrick Stewart as a voice actor. It had mind blowing animation, well not really brain exploding but it was definitely good, but I found it to have a rather typical plot, a man goes mad from his power, his father tries to stop him, and ultimately it concludes with most of London being frozen...go figure.
Anyways enough from me sayonara.

This word failure...intriguing...

In my entire life I've never failed a single subject, the worst I ever recieved was a D in English Literature, last year. I just got my results about two days ago, god I hate that word...got.

To put it bluntly I failed three out of four subjects, for this semester. I was expecting to at least pass two not one.
Well educations dead for me, I can't seeing myself going back to do a four year course, and taking five years to do it.
So I may end up heading to BRIT and defer for a year at uni. Then after getting a certificate IV in Information Technology I may go back to uni, to do a computing course.

Its odd, but I'm glad education is over, I'm done with the entire course for now. I enjoyed my time on practicum, but for some reason no matter what I did all I got was terrible reports for it, I had needs improvement in nearly everything in part of a report, yet the comments were along the lines, of did great, needs some better direction to classes, but my god, I didn't do that poorly, first years are meant to observe what teachers do, write notes, and take a few classes, I wrote in the end nearly fifteen lesson plans, took nearly ten hours worth of classes, and had to put up with usually well behaved children acting up horribly. one of them even cheered when they were told it was my last day.

Parents reaction was as I expected it would be, part of the reason I never really brought up the point that I was having trouble getting motivated to do much of anything. I should've deffered for the year, and found a real job, I haven't had a real job 9 to 5 sought of thing in ever, other than one week of Bendigo Books.
I would've learnt a few useful things if I had, and got a bit more motivated to continue in another area.

One thing I've learnt about my parents, they don't like to hear that their kids are having any sought of trouble, but then when I ask for help with subjects they blink at me and tell me to ask my friends or brother for help. I got told off for getting very goods on a mid semester report in year seven, it wasn't even a proper assessment of my skills.

Anyways thats enough from me sayonara
