It Lives Again!

So I have once again graduated. All that's left is the ceremony to make it official. Doubt I'll go since I've gone through it once before and that was plenty. Well I won't do it for that reason and for the tiny reason that until the instructors get off their asses and fix a mistake they made a while back, I'm not eligible to graduate.

An F grade incorrectly given last semester still needs to be fixed despite the fact that it was brought to the instructor's attention as soon as I found out about it in January. He gave me his assurance it would be fixed ASAP then. Still there. Now after another email he assured me it would be taken care of this past Monday. Still there. How hard do I have to kick you in the ass to get you to do your job correctly? And don't even get me started on the D I got in database class despite never getting a mark lower than 76% on anything. My grades go A+, A, A, D. Yeah, that looks right. One of the things is not like the others. One of these things does not belong. I'm surprised I learned anything since I was apparently taught by some retarded chimps. Not that there weren't the good instructors. There was one.

In other news of screw ups, upon looking into why I haven't received my tax refund, it turns out my taxes hadn't been sent in. Hopefully now that they've been efiled correctly I will get my cash before the 16th and I have this wisdom tooth taken out. The cash will help cover the cost until I get the insurance payment.

Now all I have to do is find the money to buy the Macromedia and Adobe programs to do freelance work and find an acual graphic design job. School's done and I'm not going back. I'm tired, I'm done and I just can't put off the real world any more no matter how much I would love to.

It's just a matter of putting myself out there, finding what's available and getting it. A big hurdle I have to deal with is my self doubt. Nothing scares me more at this point than getting a job and screwing up royally. I worry that despite the years of school, I don't know as much as I should and that I'll fuck up and get fired.

So here's the plan: I win the lottery and buy an island and live out the rest of my days in luxury without requiring anything resembling a career or work. I'm still waiting for the call from a client just saying "take my money for nothing."

Hello? Stay off the line! I'm waiting for a call!
