I was going to start this off by saying that I hate Adobe Photoshop, but that's not true. I hate my graphic design class. I am very happy and thankful that I am becoming familiar with these various programs, but not at the cost of my sanity and making me feel completely non-creative and artistic. For this particular assignment, we took an entire roll of pictures and scanned in our favorites or the ones with the most "design potential," whatever that means. Then, in Photoshop, we're supposed to create 3-9 panels that have something in common. I particularly liked my pictures of my favorite antique store in town, so that's what I'm working with. I have cut out rectangles of the various brick and stone patterns, but I don't want to do anything else to them, so she may just get them that way because I've played with some things but haven't liked anything and I don't work in a way that I can come up with an idea for it in my head then figure out how to make the computer do it. Overall, I have to have someone with that ability tell me what to do to the picture then I can usually figure out how to make the computer do it. She may not like it, but I'm in the sentiment where we're just critiquing (is that spelled right? it looks wrong) them tomorrow then will have several days to make changes and actually turn it in. When she agreed to start doing our projects that way, she made it clear she wanted us to bring to the critique what we would consider a finished product. But, I guess, it will be as finished as I can make it, right? Right, that's it, of course.

Oh yeah, and what gets me most about this class now (in addition to it being Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30-9:20pm): it's no longer required for my major, but too late to withdraw. A similar thing may be decided about sales/sales management, which is the other class I'm taking right now I wish I could drop. Then there's persuasion, but we won't get into that one just yet...I'd like to drop that one, too, but know I never actually would.
