Trapped in the box???

I hate online journal! it makes me feel angry, hysterical, and unhappy and I DON'T LIKE DO things that makes me feel like this.

**** read bellow ***

For most of you it does work, but for me personally it doesn't (at least this moment), all the time i have to force myself to sit on my "box" and write random things trying to make myself look clever...

Is not for me - I don't feel the "connection", because of various reasons:

1. It takes triple time for me to write something in English than it does for you (if I want it look good) , and in that time i could do more valuable things for me.

2. I don't feel motivated.

3. This way you building barrier between students.
I've tried it all last year, look at other students work try to make some comments-didn't work, it's not real, I'm in 2nd year and i don't feel any connection with students as my colleagues or friends..or maybe it just me? but i never used to be like this...
Why not to discuss work while we in classes??? like during surgeries? remember last year, we had some discussions in class for identities work with Deborah, was great - people were actually really communicating, telling suggestions and ideas, that really motivated me more, this year it all gone. I know I'm not the most talkative person in the class, is cause i say things than i think i have something to say, but it's good to listen for others or tell my own opinion than we are discussing each others work.

4. Sorry i feel trapped -i think we spent enough time using the "box" ( pc ), why not to have a bit of freedom and remember that we actually can talk in live not just through the "box" .

I really feel like i want to drop out from this course. I look around, I don't see many happy faces, many students are disappointed about this course. Somewhere somehow things are not going well...

We need more motivation:
  • Maybe you could make more new projects and lectures instead of using the "old" stuff.
  • We definatelly need more seminars about technical side of media, instead seminar about metaphor, no offense but ask how many students liked that, we all done that at school.
  • It be great if you do work with us, like I love Andy ( and who doesn't ) cause he actually does everything himself what he ask to do for us. That's the strongest motivation we could get. It's always nice to see example of the teacher.
I had to tell all this, even don't know if it's any use, but it made me feel a bit better. I think i will try start updating my journal, even I don't like it...so might "shout" in here in time again, just to make myself feel better... thank you
