The never ending quest for “Higher Education”

I missed school again today. This time however I was all set to go and then somehow my stupid cell alarm turned off after I hit the snooze button or whatever. Probably my fault. I mean, I was using a phone as an alarm in the first place.

What I am really getting at though is the fact that I am tired of school and it pointlessness. I know I need to finish and I will, but I am burnt out. 16 years is to much already. But most likely I have another year. I am thinking of taking a semester off. I just want to spend some time working and that’s it. I probably shouldn’t, but I am tempted. It would just be nice to take some time to focus on some other things I have going right now, namely the business. Work is good, but Im kinda just scraping by for the most part. It would be nice to able to take on more work without having to worry about school.

School just seems pointless right now. To be honest, I am not learning anything. Im not saying I know it all, but I really am not learning anything. I finished all my web classes. Got high remarks from my teachers there. They are now passing out my business cards for me and sending me a little work. All that I have left is stuff more oriented towards normal, everyday graphic design. Im not saying that graphic design isn’t interesting. I would love to get more branding jobs where I come up with a companies entire graphic representation. I love doing that stuff, but the classes that I am taking now are basic and un interesting. Stuff that I have already figured out and moved on from. Things like how asymetry and texture can add to a design. Duh! How to use a type face properly. Anyway. I think I will just push ahead and get it over with.

I wish I could take my classes as independent studies. Do the work on my time. Meet with the teacher once a week for half an hour, forty five minutes and learn more than spending a week in a class room. I could get a semester of schooling done in half the time. I’ve done it before.

All in all I guess I just have to abide by the system. Until the day when I no longer have to go. I can’t wait till that day comes.
