Mum used to tell me when I was young that doing and being interested in a wide range of things was a good idea but the older I get the more it feels wrong. I have so many ideas for projects or things to do or learn about or get good at (this blog being one of them) but how many of them have I actually achieved? Not as many as I'd like, that's for sure. But to be really good at something you have to spend a lot of time on it, which is hard when you want to do lots of things and to really make an impact, you have to be good at it and frankly I get bored of things rather quickly. I guess it's probably something most people go through in life but I seem to be a world class quitter. It happens when that initial phase of excitement at being learning new things wears off and you realise it'll actually take a lot of work to get any better. I think I've been deluding myself for quite awhile about my artistic capabilities. On a tangentinal note, I just don't get visual art. I can appreciate skillfully made pictures just as much as the next guy (infact probably moreso than the next guy) but I somehow keep missing the emotional attachment that comes with it. Making imagery that 'symbolises' some emotion or thought or using metaphor in some way always feels like wankery to me, which was probably why I only got a 15 for Visual Art Studies last year. Concept art on the other hand I'm rather interested in (on and off) because it aims for technical excellence without the need for the visual masturbation. But again I get bored with it when I realise it'll take a lot of practice before I'm anywhere near as good as the pros, even though a lot of works don't look that hard to make. It's the ability to visualise what you want in your head before you draw it and that takes lots of experience. Anyway, there haven't been any of these posts for awhile I know but I've been thinking of starting a comic actually, to kind of supplement your weekly dose of meness. This of course has brought up the similar thoughts that go through my head each time I think of starting a new project, which if you have already got this far down the post, you've probably already read. |

| It's Not My Fault | ||

Phrase of the day: Gringo Killer, sauce of doom! There is something really fucking wrong with education in our country (perhaps the rest of the world too). And no I'm not talking about pre-schoolers, middle-schoolers or even high-schoolers. Frankly, that shit works half the time and I couldn't care less now I'm out. What pisses me off is the lack of any kind of teaching standards after you've left secondary school. Teaching the majority of people how to write and have any kind of work ethic is fine but what about having a system where the people who WANT to learn have the best chance they can. It's balatent hypocrisy to leave the people who are actually going to use the stuff they learn in secondary school (and probably give to society much more than others) when they've been backed by an entire system all the way until year 12. Let me try and put this in context. When I first came to uni, the lecturers didn't know what notation we were taught previously and most of the time didn't even care to ask or even tell us what notation THEY were using. This automatically made anything they wrote down almost impossible to understand (even if it was actually easy stuff) until we decifered the stuff ourselves and got used to it. And this isn't counting the new notation we're supposed to learn as well but that can't really be prevented. Every course I'm doing is pretty much from a different faculty and I suspect they barely ever talk to eachother, making the learning and teaching styles different for each course, not including each lecturer (which can change on a weekly basis). The practical part of Electrical Engineering 1 seems to have barely any organisation. You are given tasks from this flimsy prac book but the actual stuff you have to do is not clearly and systematically shown and the support documentation to do many of the projects seem to be randomly printed out and placed at the back so you have to sift through reams of random gobbledegook that don't appear to be of any use. There are at least 3 major errors in the booklet that if you don't pick up can cause you major havok (which I found out the hard way) and only 1 of them was pointed out and even then it was just "There is an error here, see if you can find it". For people who are actual electronics hobbyists or are very interested in the area, these problems may be overcome with a bit of work but for someone like me who didn't even know what a transistor was at the start of the course, it is easily and unnecessarily overwhelming. The root problem of this is this lingering idea that if you know your stuff in your field of expertise then you'll probably be a good lecturer. But this brings up the exact opposite problem you can find in many high-schools. The lecturer most probably really knows his/her stuff but there's also a very good chance they're a shit teacher. There's a reason why they have teaching degrees and frankly, every lecturer should at least get a crash course in it otherwise the dropout rates for uni are going to remain so amazingly high and Australia could end up losing some of it's most amazing minds (and probably a lot of fuckin money at the same time) and we wouldn't even know it. |

| In a surprising new Twist | ||
| I heard on TripleJ yesterday when Megan Spencer reviewed The Longest Yard that both that and Mean Machine were infact remakes of like a 1950's movie or something. So my previous comments are partly unwarranted. Doesn't make the movie look that much better though. | ||
