In college, and then some.

I don't know why I haven't said this here, but I'm back in college right now. Going to ITT for Visual Communications and (hopefully) Game Design.
So far... I like 2 of my 3 classes. They're kind of misnamed. Problem Solving is Math, and Intro to PC's is a hands on assemble/disassemble lab. Despite these being basic for me (I work in a lot of numbers, and built computers), I like them both. They both have awesome instructors, and are are engaing. The math class has some humorous elements, and the PC class is hands on. I love working inside computers.
... I can't say the same about the Photoshop class, sadly.
The Instructor there is one of those types who soley reads off of powerpoint slides, and gives one line of explination afterwards. I really can't stand this style of teaching... feels like they're passing off the slides as 'visual' for those who respond more to that type of education.
... and If I keep going, I'm going to have her for Typography too... why...
I wrote in my Livejournal about another reason I don't like it, but it's fairly long. So here's the tl;dr version.
You can't assign a grade to an abstract concept. What one person sees, another may not, and vice versa. All design is subjective.
I swear... times like this make me think I should go into philosophy or law... maybe review some games and movies on the side...
... but that falls into the above as well...
