School Blues...

Posted by Lala (Long Sault, Canada) on 22 September 2007 in People & Portrait.

Okay, so school is awesome...except for this one class...that is making me batty...and frustrated...and insecure ( well, that may be my natural state...).

I am playing with self portraits and this is one I took this week.

@stijn: Make that COMPLETELY unsure...this class is going to be the death of me...I know, the Kennedies...should be a breeze...um...nope...go figure...who knew Freud had so much to say about JFK....

What are you studying to be my dear? Good luck with class - the thing your holding i dont' know if thats a book or movie... i cant tell if it has pages or not. (the crime scene on the left is very funny) Is that part of the class your frustrated with? If it does not involve writing (which i bet it does) i may be of some help ;D i'm dyslexic so my writing skills are a bit on the rough side.

@Rabbit: I am just finishing up my degree which I abondoned an embarrassingly long time ago for a job...as for what I am going to be...hopefully a better me...we'll see:)

It is an english class, cultural studies actually, and it is just getting my head wrapped back around things that I have not had to think about in years. I also had to present in front of a conference and bombed this week! Ask me to advocate for a child, stick up for some injustice and I can take on the world...apparently summarizing an article in front of 40 other students...impossible,LOL...

Thank you for the offer!! That is so sweet. I just have to get back into the groove and mindset...

As for the crime scene tape...you can find it in various places all over my house...makes me giggle:) and my kids are quite fond of it too!
