teddogSometimes... I feel guilty.
Everything at school seems so simple most of the time. Like programming. I have no issue visualising ActionScript in my head. Then the rest of the class pisses and moans about how it's the teacher's fault that they don't understand anything. But, at the same time, everything makes perfect sense to me.
What am I supposed to tell people? "The teacher sucks because you don't understand it"? "You suck because you don't understand it"? "Stay late and I'll help you understand"?
I hear people bad-mouthing Dean. What am I supposed to say to that? Let's see, this year Dean has:
1) Helped supported me through a personal crisis.
2) Helps me with homesickness because I can talk about the GTA with him.
3) Given me his book lists from university courses to I can study media theories in my personal time.
4) Listens to my ideas about advanced learning theories with me when nobody else will.
5) Is backing me in risky personal project.
Okay, this puts me in a very awkward place. What would YOU do if the rest of the class wants him fired?
Being different is annoying.

Date: 2004-11-14 07:47 pm (UTC)You're lucky you decided to stay at home that day. We joke about Kyle cracking and going on a killing spree, but odds are that I'm going to lose it first. Next person who brings up Macs vs PCs is getting a head first trip through a window! I am ENFP! I demand happy bliss in my program! HAZZAH!
And if you're hanging around after class, I can help you with the ActionScript programming. I know I pick it up easier than I should, so I try to share when I can. It's not TOO hard. Easier than the JavaScript cookie assignment, although it actually builds on it. Date objects and all. :-)
Math and programming have nothing to do with other. Programming is more like... hmmm... being given a riddle/puzzle and told to answer it in another language.
