accepting mediocrity....

[SEAN!]

man, im having a tough time in school right now....ive come to realize that im not willing to put the effort in at school inorder to ensure decent grades. im just so busy with work and my other interests to concentrate on school like the other super geeks at ubc do. As a result ive cme to accept the fact that i will probably maintian a C/C+ average through out the rest of my school life. as long as i grad in 4 eyars ill befine..im still ont rack for that...fewww/



we'll...D means degree i guess...i just feel bad, because school is pretty easy and if i didnt work and studied a bit more i could be getting straight A's. but then i wouldnt have any money and im too fuckin materialistic to ever accept that..hahah


anyone else in the same boat?

why don't you cut down your work hours so you can concentrate on school a little more sean ?

[cinist]

do you want to be making more money now or later sean?

if your grades won't effect your future then i guess i'd slack too, but if they will then that's dangerous man.

I find that with post-secondary education it is really hard to do well if you do not 100% to be there. I started off getting straight A's and then my last term I was getting B- and C's. I decided to take a year off of school to make some money because I was wasting time and energy being there. [hah, now i regret taking the time off..]

Also, you're working a lot and going to school. I know that it is completely doable, but it is also just as easy to burn out. You should think about getting less hours at work, especially now when you have midterms and term papers..and then soon after that, finals.

You're smart, so don't accept mediocrity.

*sigh* I know exactly what you mean...i'm so glad I quit my other job otherwise i'm sure i'd be failing all my classes right now. As long as I get C's or above i'm happy...I guess.
:P

hah ya im the same way right now.. i just dont care at the moment.. i was getting A's last year but this year im doing real shitty so ima take a year off after this semester to work and figure out what i really wanna do. I dont have enough money to go back next semester anyways.

total same boat. ive got 4 classes aranged over two days so i can work three days per week. im avoiding getting a student loan, so i work and do the school thing.
Problem is, im getting super burned out. I do home renovations, so work is always busy busy busy. sigh. taking pretty much a week of this week due to insane ammounts of testage, but hey, hopefully it wont fuck me up too much in the money department...

[mugsy]

i hear yah.. only now no one will hire a full time student like me, and i need money and i have none.
it sucks. andi refuse to accept mediocracy, technically i could leave the studio at about 4 or 5 most days but then i wouldnt be as successful, im too passionate to not stay.
sometimes i think im wasting time cause all i am receiving from the program is a diploma... then i remember how much i am growing as an artist an just how much i am gaining and it will all be worth it.

[MC Hammered]

Finish your education.

I took a break from post secondary education, started working and never went back.

I regret making that decision now but I'm lucky that I knew the right people and had the right skills to get me where I am.

If I did now what I did then I'd probably be flipping burgers for a living.

haha man im the captain of that boat ...

i have 2 fucking jobs that i never show up to and i cant get fired cuz both bosses are family members so its all good but i gotta start working cuz i need money im dead broke but then again i need to do good in school ..

[Mc*Phee]

I feel your pain too! School is just so stressful, plus trying to fit it in with a work schedule.
And personaly, i find it realy hard to learn or try in classes that dont interest me....and thats almost everyone this semester.
And I know in the long run i'll be glad that i chose to go to school, but its so hard to think about the future while living in the present :soak:

[bebu*funfun]

for some ppl no work means no school, no food and no spending money.. and that doesn't make sense.

half ass is my way to go right now and it will haunt me in april. all this crap im producing is way below my standards..im kinda pissed off.. as long as it can get me to second year it will be dandy fine.

way too much goin on at once.

[Akeel]

gotta make sure your studying what you want to learn...otherwise its all for nothing, took me awhile to really figure out what i wanted to study, but as soon as i figured it out, everything fell into place.

[SEAN!]

i never siad i was gonna take a break.

sean dosnt take breaks he only raves!
