closing the doooor

[seichan]

i quit my teaching position. yes! mainly because i never got enough students. i didn't enjoy it all that much. i'll have 2 classes and almost 30 hours/week for work. i am too sleepy during my off-days. and i want to have time to actually create something good...rather than my 2-3hour throw-away stuff. *sigh*

i sometimes wonder why i didn't get students. i'd want me to teach me. purely based on what is in the catalog. i kinda have more education. and i have a more interesting name than joe smith. it might be because of the times i chose to have my classes and my lack of experience. actually, the older-older students have said that they'd never take a class from a young person. and yes, they said that while i was in the room. remembering that scene makes me want to drive really fast around the neighborhood right near the curb. oh well, i'm still somewhat dejected.

if i ever got the opportunity to teach ppl who are actually interested in things other than watercolors of flowers, i may go for it.

don't be dejected. i would want you to teach me too, if i was a student. older students can be very stupid. they're usually close-minded and insistent that things accomodate them, so they only want watercolor flowers. plus, they've already created a life into which being a student doesn't always fit, so they want to get classes over with and get out. or, they look at classes as social clubs and would feel uncomfortable being taught by a younger person. dummies.

urgh

i'd want you to teach me too ... i thought your class descriptions were pretty good. but, the kind of people taking these classes aren't the kind of people really interested in learning art, they're interested in pursuing a hobby. darn.

this is why you need to move to the bay area :)
