There's nothing scarier than Dean saying "You remind me of what I was like as a student". We sometimes joke about how we've lived in the same places around the same time (Long Branch, Hamilton) and judging from the comments he made, he was a fan of Prisoners of Gravity back in the day, but to go so far to say I'm exactly like that is... a reach.
Mind you, Rob has said the exact same thing too. o_O
I'm being to think I've the only person in my program that LIKES the program. All I hear is people complaining how awful the program is and how poorly run it is. While I know that the program is under going some massive changes and there are some problems (like Kevin never marking anything), I wonder if these people have ever studied media in other post-secondary school.
I took Multimedia at McMaster and it was nasty. Really nasty. Media studies in general aren't very "mature" yet. It's still an odd corner of culture that we aren't truly ready to study yet. How long has the media existed at the inflated size it is now? There's very few books written on the subject at are considered suitable for study.
If you don't like the program, transfer to a different one. The college offers many different programs and if you still want multimedia, there are other colleges in the province that offer the program. If you're not willing to take that risk, then I have no pity for you. Poor me is addicted to the program - basically, this is what I live for. If I don't do some amount of school work, if feels like I've wasted my day. It's pretty much all I have up here.
Okaies, and do you know how much it makes me mad when people claim that the only reason I get good marks is because the teachers like me? I don't run around claiming "Fear my multimedia powah!". Maybe I'm a little over the top with the media theories thing, but I'm basically a media theory fangirl. In truth, I'm actually insanily hard on my poor self. *Sniff* Poor lil' Teddog doesn't know anything about multimedia if you ask her personally. I force myself to push myself harder to hopefully get marks and then some unnamed losers try to shoot me down. Grrr...

Date: 2004-11-21 11:53 pm (UTC)The media industry in Thunder Bay is a sad state of affairs. After growing up in Southwestern Ontario, I'd like to think that there is a chance that something great could come out of here, but everything is so messy. And the people at uni tried to tell me there were no media monopolies in Canada.
What They (the people in charge) don't tell you is that there are some paid placements out there. But I have no clue what the odds are of getting one. I guess I kinda have it lucky that my current goal is a job in Toronto and have a living place pretty much set up already. You can take the girl out of GTA, but you can't take the GTA out of the girl. :-P Although, after talking to Ray, I'm strangely interested in going up to Winnipeg if TVO or CBC fall through.
