Whenever I hear anybody talk about their art classes, I feel ridiculously, painfully envious. I take art-oriented courses, yes; but our teachers are pretentious douchebags who seem to think that drawing isn't related to art at all, and would rather drag us around various sound installations. Which is, you know, fine in its proper context - but I wanted to improve my technique, not learn about performance art. I really did think this would be a chance to improve. "LOL, NOT SO FAST" said reality and now all my friends who go to real schools are going to have real skills and real jobs and I'll just be stuck in pretentious cunt-land for another three years.

I think I've made a huge mistake.
