While so, you shouldn't judge yourself so hard on it. The game begins only when you start working with REAL people. Not with coursemates and lecturers who... while some are great, some are not. But it all boils down to the old adage: Be positive and don't give up so easily. Good luck.sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330078721283867066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7185501242316946775.post-80896568329224828542010-01-27T03:42:12.900+08:002010-01-27T03:42:12.900+08:00What a day, what a time, what a year.

If only I'd known about what was missing in my life a lot sooner.<br /><br />I'd been perceived as a person of learned quality when it came to everything they thought the papers could provide, when academically it never really showed. Discussion, lifelong peruse of the fact that I was merely going to class only for the sake of it, and that I was actually learning things in which that was so blatantly, obviously absent in most classrooms from Primary to University.<br /><br />That pretty much lead me to where I am now. Previously I was onto a not-so-healthy start of attaining an Animation diploma after enrolling in The One Academy(Sunway), and after noticing so many flaws in my own work I had struggled until it came to a breaking point where others, under the notion of the "fast food syndrome" you had described, the whole Academy was in an apparent mess; everything is about the money. Standards were fluctuating, with different lecturers spouting differences with ironic indifference. One could say he likes your shading, but another could say he does not. One could say he likes your idea, and another could say he does not I've left the place broken-hearted, due to the bad experiences and the majorly-intolerable community that resides there. Sadly enough, without the Diploma, but for some reason I'm still alive.<br /><br />One would say academics is all that matters in a world where Cambridge and Oxford is the rage for decades and centuries to come. When was this system established, 1200 years ago? That was in Arab then, and along the way mankind has always been evolving. The kings and queens of the monarchs, all over this world are mostly without those said papers, and so are most masters in the trade of variable artistry or even surgery of those days. Opinions mattered less, and skills mattered so much more.<br /><br />It's astounding, though. Could it be vanity? Could it be merely higher pursuits of a theoretical understanding? I'll never understand the need for papers, just so I could put some bread into an oven and make it.<br /><br />It's a little late, but Happy belated New Year, and an early Happy Chinese New Year to you.<br /><br />Yours sincerely, <br />Person-of-deteriorating-academic-interest.<br /><br />PS.<br />Why are the number of As given to us by people of perceived higher rankings of society, matter so much more than the As we write everyday?Kyzariushttp://kyzarius.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.com
