College
What gets me so upset about my major is that I’m good with all of my classes EXCEPT those that pertain to journalism.
My Copy Editing professor called me stupid today. He was talking to the kid next to me about old Hollywood movie and I looked up to ask about hyphens and he goes, “No, no Ms. Albanese - you don’t need to worry about this conversation. Intelligential conversations are not meant for stupid people.” - WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
For Journalistic Writing, I just got an email with my grade of my first in-class article for my interview assignment and I got a really low grade on it. Which really eats me up, because I thought I did really well, but everything I liked about the article he hated - and part of me thinks he was a bit harsh considering it’s an intro type class - and it just makes me feel like an idiot.
It’s just really frustrating, and I can’t change my major because it’s way too late for that and I need these classes so I can’t NOT do well and I just feel like I don’t belong in this department and I’ll never be taken seriously because these professors know I write Gramer’s Grasp and think I’m a fucking idiot for writing about technology in the student run paper and not their fancy department funded magazines.
It’s only been a few weeks and I keep telling myself that once I get into a groove, maybe I’ll be able to do better and you need to fail to learn from it - but it’s just hard when I feel like I’m CONSTANTLY failing and nothing is going well...
EDIT: Okay, I had a really good talk with my dad about all this and feel INFINITELY better about it. Just gonna try my best, try to figure out what he wants, but not get upset when politics come into play. FIGHT HARD!!
