thus, college has begun.

I'm actually, not sure what to make of it. not hating it, but not entirely fond of it either.

They've created quite a few messed up clashes that shouldnt have occured in the first place on our schedules.
For instance:
Maths (clash) Art
Maths (clash) Product Design

Let me empathise on the stupidity of the above. Maths is an essensial subject for Art and/or Design students. Why? Simple. For design, measurements, ergonomics, etc...all require "numbers" -- aka. "maths", and art - let's say the person is planning to go into the Architecture department/ interior design in university..."maths" is actually an entry requirement for some of the better ones.

There are also:
English (clash) Drama [screenplay writers...etc, anyone?]
Economics (clash) Languages (Japanese/ Spanish/ German/ French) and Language (clash) Language[translators...business students, a language for them means that they become that much more adept if they decide to move their business into a foreign area/business deals/ good qualification for them in general...] 

Ruining futures here, Mr. "Language" College.

This is how it works in college. 9 hours worth of lessons on each subject taken over a two week course. Now usually, for those who take non-clashing subjects and, 3-4 (usual amount) a levels, that amounts to, 27-36 hours and sure they'd have lots of 'gap periods', actually.

now for those who take 5...that's 45 hours worth of lessons, top that off with around 15 more hours+ - don't forget the homework / coursework / revision.

I'd been expecting that kind of load but...honestly, maths (clash) product design? judging by the oh-not-so-kind schedules they'd kindly given every student a copy of (find your own subjects in the boxes of all the subjects basically, a page for every day) (what the hell does PT and GM stand for anyway?)...because of this... ridiculous clash, in a two week period of which I am meant to have 9 product design lessons, I'm only getting 2 - how far am I going to be from the rest of the class?

Very.

so... can I alternate between the subjects? no, because the maths department won't allow me to take maths if I'm not there for every single lesson.

Oh yeah, sure, product design isn't as important, that's just where my career lies. =.= What does my maths teacher say? "I have very few periods in which I'm free to teach you. Besides it would be unfair to the rest of the maths class."

Sure, Miss. But that means you do have free periods in which you can teach me right, when you have nothing to do? How is it unfair to my classmates? I'm practically going to be missing out lessons that they get to attend to go to my product design classes instead. Oh, "very unfair" for them and not a slightest bit "unfair" for me.

You know, I kind of wish she sort of just said she "didn't want to teach me" in her spare 'school' time instead of making up excuses as to why she can't teach me when she can and just doesn't want to. Big different there.

Got to get back to organising my schedule again. It's been two days since college started but it's still not solid. I'm not even sure which english literature class I'm supposed to be attending. Why? "Oh, the schedules aren't defined yet."

Mr. Language College, what the hell have you been doing?

Let's say due to this, I have been on the recieving end of the 'domino effect'. My english literature isn't defined, therefore, I cannot confirm my 'gap lessons' with my Japanese teacher and classmates so we can "change the schedules" to fit.

Tell you something even more funny. The product design lessons weren't even on the schedules everyone was given. It had vanished into thin air. 

This ought to give you a right laugh'

In IT class today:
*classmates shuffling through leaflets on housing details for report*
*they begin to describe the pros and cons of what it looks like etc*
Classmate1: "Oh look, this is a good one."
Flamie: "Nah. Look at the picture. It's a black and white house. Wouldn't that just turn you off?"
*Classmate1 and Classmate2 gives Flamie a disturbed and awkward stare*
*Allow Flamie 30 seconds to digest and realise the implications of what was just said*
Flamie:"Not that way!" "As in, not appealing for customers to buy!"   


Well, sorry for the long...would you say rant? Flamie is off to japanese revision and reorganising college schedules >: ...
