hey party people out there, I am not one of you unfortunately(or maybe it is fortunate?


So I think in my last post I spoke about my rad Intro to Photo teacher who is very shooting centric as opposed to exams so on and so forth.


In further analysis of his first shooting project due next week,and thinking about his very unorganized lecture on Tuesday which didn't even really explain the shooting assignment at all, I am starting to panic .


Today I used a feature of myspace that I had seen for some time, but had never used seeing that I wasn't in school, its like grade a professor ...something like that.


I looked up this particular teacher, and its interesting to see I am not so offbased in my fears:


color photo 09/13/2007 F just to warn anyone who may take this class and have this guy as a teacher. He goes off on tangents, first day of class he spent over an hour talking about nonsense photo stuff. He didn't actually get to the lectures until like the last 45 minutes of class where he rushed. I would have to agree that he does mumble and is very unclear. I got out of that class (and signed of for the same class online) Im not paying 1600$ a class to not learn anything. He may be a good person, but he needs to learn to teach.





07/10/2007 F all this guy does is mumble. everyone ends up unclear on anything he's wanting. then when you ask him, his answer was always "just play around with it". i asked him about my grade twice and he said he'd email me about it because he didn't have anything with him, and he never did. the critiques for homework were a joke. he never carried a grade book, or asked your name, or had you turn anything in or had a damn thing to say! i don't know how he graded anything! i learned absolutely NOTHING in this class.


02/02/2006 D+ He's not the best professor around at the Academy at all. Had him for a couple of classes now and have literally learned nothing. His lectures are awful and his teaching style needs change.



--on another site that is called Rate My Professor this was written:

Lynn is a great person- he knows a lot about photography.but hes not the best at translating that.I've gotten an A in both classes I've had with him.well thats b/c he barely grades anything. Hes not very good at answering questions. He is kind of all over the place during lectures. I didnt learn much from him and his classes provide no challenge.


--- this first assignment is three pages long, and the way its written I can't decipher which parts are just like telling you information on how to do something,or whether or not its steps for the assignment itself. I am so confused by it, I am going over to my friend Irja's tomorrow and hoping she can make sense of it .


And I guess it's implied(since you know its the first assignment and not everyone in the class knows how to make prints ) , but it does not even say the method in which the prints are going to be presented, I am assuming we are to take it to a pro lab this time and have them make us a print, but like what size does he want? yada yad a yada. really weird!



For my first shoot in my digital class, things went well and I got that done today. Now all I have to do is go in , im thinking tomorrow during the day and do what needs to be done in the program light room , and then actually go ahead and turn it in. I have till THursday(labtime) to do so, but I'd rather get it out of the way and use that labtime to write this paper for another class.

aHH the life of a student.


In other developments, I the self diagnosing queen have diagnosed myself with this weird ass disease called Celiac Disease:

"Gastrointestinal

The diarrhoea characteristic of coeliac disease is pale, voluminous and malodorous. Abdominal pain and cramping, bloatedness with abdominal distention (thought to be due to fermentative production of bowel gas) and mouth ulcers[4] may be present. As the bowel becomes more damaged, a degree of lactose intolerance may develop. However, the variety of gastrointestinal symptoms that may be present in patients with coeliac disease is great, and some may have a normal bowel habit or even tend towards constipation. Frequently the symptoms are ascribed to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), only later to be recognised as coeliac disease; a small proportion of patients with symptoms of IBS have underlying coeliac disease, and screening may be justified.[5]

Coeliac disease leads to an increased risk of both adenocarcinoma and lymphoma of the small bowel, which returns to baseline with diet. Longstanding disease may lead to other complications, such as ulcerative jejunitis (ulcer formation of the small bowel) and stricturing (narrowing as a result of scarring).[6]"

--- I don't know who remembers but a few years back I started having this weird mysterious stomach disorder where I'd get horrible shooting pains that felt like I was being stabbed, I even was hospitalized for thsi a couple of times, and despite caT scans etc, the closest the doctors came to diagnosing it was a inflamation of the pyloris.

After reading this celiac stuff, it sounded alot like me(not the dia part, but the abdominal pains and the distension .

I really want to test things out by changing alot of things in my diet. Part of me wants to stop eating meat (red) because the rare times I eat it nowadays I feel really gross.Im even considering no chicken, not that I eat it all that often either nowadays since I don't cook and when I do go out I tend to order fish .I guess what I want to try is being a pescitarian of sorts,and in addition cut out sugars and carbs as much as possible. Oh and try to consistently use soy based dairy products.My one exception ;hot dogs. Nicole and I were talking today and I told her about my ideas and she reminded me,"what about hot dogs...you love them, what happens when you eat hot dogs?"

i told her nothing which is truth , maybe g-d cuts me a break on that bc he knows I love weiners so much!


so hmm, im a pescitarian who eats hot dogs occasionally . Hey its not such a stretch, my friend genevieve who was raised a vegetarian since she was born, sometimes gets drunk and eats a hot dog and loves it,I'll let you know how these changes go.
