Disney and the Thesis: Yes I'm complaining (again)
I've been working on this thesis and it's been driving me crazy. A part of me doesn't want it done and the other part of me I just want to get it done to get it out of the way. I find it ridiculous that Media Arts students have to do a thesis so maybe the whole me doesn't even respect the fact that the school is asking for one. granted it's not a big thesis: it's an integrated thesis with theory and production. So you could do 50/50 70/30 or 30/70. I don't want to do neither. I'm upset with myself. Two years ago I was like a warrior Zombie. No sleep...well little sleep like two or three hours. I was a full time student and full time worker... Mostly A(s) some B(s) but in the end they were all A(s) and I was good. Now that I'm not working...I stay awake until 4 or 5 AM but I fall asleep wake up three hours later and instead of doing what I have to do my body betrays me and falls back to sleep for another three hours. I'm pissed. I wanted to do this defense next week but I don't see it happening. I used to have support with these kind of emotional breakdowns and was used to the emotional support but now like the liberated woman these feminists want me to be I have to provide my own emotional support. Because now my surrounding just tell me to suck it up and I tell you, believe you me, for a Cancer sign, this is not easily digested. Maybe it would be better to just accept the few more months to complete the thesis; it's not like it would change my graduation date. One of the professors tell me that doing the thesis should not be torture. Well lady as much as I like and respect you let me tell you (indirectly...lol) it is. And asking media arts students who are into production to do a stupid paper is ludicrous. I'm an Editor, a film editor. There are more serious degrees that don't require theses and they allow their students the option of taking extra classes to make up for it. I think as media arts students two extra production classes or two extra theory classes - whichever be your poison - should be the requirement for graduation. not this shit.
