Doing immensely ambitious and extremely creative projects for my classes isn't magically going to make me not suck at graphic design the way I do. I act like it will, nonetheless.
I had scheduled it out for this summer to be the time when I finally start working on getting the basics down and get good, but I've got design classes this semester, before summer, so I... I don't know. It's a bit late (but never too late!) to get started. I was on the ball of things my first semester, my second semester too I think; it wasn't until I finished the prereq classes and, taking the more advanced classes, realized how bad I am, did I get worse, through being overly ambitious and getting far later behind than mere procrastination can account for.
That's my working model, at least.
Moral of the story: ambition is evil.
I can't get a BFA without applying for one and getting selected- I won't get selected without an impressive resume- I can't have an impressive resume without being good- I can't be good if I don't practice- and I can't practice with all this homework assigned me, and I won't practice unless it's homework assigned me, because I can't practice with all this homework assigned me. But if it's homework I'm only going to get ambitious about it. So it's like a catch-22 made out of stupid.
