> Making a poster for a local non-profit group for a class

> Making a promotional poster (and playbook!!!) for a group project for another class

> Making a poster for Stark Parks for yet another class (oh and we just got done making posters in said class)

If my creative writing professor suddenly announces that we have to make a promotional poster for our next short stories, I'm just gonna SOKVDJNWOVNWO:iconlazyflipplz:

Oh, speaking of creative writing, I'm probably gonna upload some of my writing at some point this week. Although I have to make revisions by the end of the semester, so um yeah.:B

I couldn't go to Fundamentals of Media Messages two Wednesdays ago due to car troubles, so I emailed my professor and asked if there was anything I needed to make up for next class. She said we started a project on press releases, and she would send me an assignment prompt soon.

The weekend passed, and I didn't receive a prompt. In addition, she had cancelled all of her classes for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (turns out she had a bacterial respiratory infection, but I didn't find out until today oh and she knew she had it before she took her days off but still came to class with the infection because that's the totally responsible thing to do amirite???). She had all of her classes as usual on Thursday and Friday. I still didn't receive an assignment prompt.

I got to class today and asked about the prompt. Turns out we didn't actually go over writing press releases two weeks ago, but instead, we had to do research on a company in a career field we were interested in. So I'm basically two weeks behind of everyone else on research because my professor didn't feel like telling me this beforehand.

In addition, she unloaded this huge PR project on us. We have to create a press release, a brochure, a radio ad (script it and produce it) and a TV ad (storyboard it and produce it). It has to be done before finals, even though there's only 2-3 weeks of the semester left.

Also, she explained our final exam to us. Well, it's not really an exam. We literally have to pick an assignment prompt out of a hat the day of the final and work on it for the entire finals period (which is about an hour long). Yes, we get a final exam that we literally can't prepare for because we only get to find out what it is the day the final is assigned.:stare:

And all of this means we won't have any exams on the textbook, which screws over the people in the class that actually spent $80 on the textbook.

I give up. I'd rather shove rusty nails into my vagina than waste anymore time on this class.:iconlazycryplz:

I don't know what I disliked more: Having to spend four hours transcribing a one-hour audio recording of the interview (on the bright side, I originally thought it was two hours long:dummy:), having to go through seven single-spaced pages of the transcribed audio to figure out what material to use, having to crank out five pages of utter shit in three hours, knowing that I'll have to go back and edit it because I wasn't concerned with following AP writing guidelines, or that I could've been playing Pokemon the entire time but nooOOOOooooOOOooooOOO, I had to be a responsible student and actually get my work done.:grump:

OK, so we have a bowl of condoms in the Writing Center because we have no health clinic on campus or anything so that's the closest thing we have to having one.

We also have a Word of the Week thing where one of the tutors chooses a random word and posts it on the Writing Center's front door.

This week, we chose the word "symmastia," which is basically a condition where your boobs are merged together by skin webbing (idk look it up).

The tutor posted it on Tuesday. When I got back to work on Thursday, someone (not someone who works at the Writing Center) took down our Word of the Week.
:iconeratsplz:
SO HAVING CONDOMS IS OK BUT TALKING ABOUT BREAST HEALTH IS WRONG?

And on top of that, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and our campus isn't doing anything.

And one of the tutors talked about her presentation on breast health for Intro to Human Comm a few years back and she had visual examples for her presentation, but her professor got mad because, according to her, the presentation "objectified women." I'd understand if the presentation just consisted of ogling women's bodies, but... it was supposed to educate people on the subject.:stare:

OK, school. Glad to know breast health isn't acceptable to discuss on a college campus.:roll:
