FAMU ‘08
Today I bought a roll of paper 9 feet wide by 36 feet long. For anyone else in the world this would be a strange purchase, but for me I have big plans for this oversized paper.
This semester I have 16 hours of classes, 12 of which are photo classes that I shoot and show work for. Needless to say I feel a little stressed out. The good thing is 3 of the 4 classes are digital based. This means I can shoot and then edit in the privacy of my own home(and in my underwear if I choose). All in all I’m going to be fine. I’ve just got to get past the first few weeks and then I can resume my normal workflow.
I’ve learned a few things going to a minority school. The biggest is racism is still atrong, it’s just not as pronounced. I can’t tell you how many times I have been in a professors office and listened to them outright bash other professors or students bases on their race. Seeing the inner workings of the school a little I have seen some of the faults of the administration. I don’t see any need to be mean and cruel to people behind their back. You may have been raised different, but imagine being in their shoes.
I think that’s enough about fam. I could tell story after story about how ridiculous this school can be. I’d also tell you many stories of how much I’ve learned at FAM.
That’s all I’m gonna give you right now. Stick around and I’ll see what else I can give you.
