?????

Mine pretty much sucked, i was 5 hours late for college, My alarm was supposed to go off at 7.00am which it didn't so i slept in till 10.00ish. I went into town for lunch which i ate on the way to college, when i got there my class mates were pissed at me for missing the morning lessons.
I needed to get into the darkroom to print some colour photographs that i had taken last week. But my teacher wanted to discuss my 'vision' for this project first. When i finally got in there to print the pictures, due to a lack of communication between me and the teacher the lamp came on whilst all the paper was out being cut into test strips and was effectively ruined.
Three hours later i had managed to print my photographs at 8"-10", which is not big enough, then came the lecture about how i cannot make larger prints because normal film will not go that big. But if i was to use the medium format camera or the plate camera then it would, but of course i am not allowed to take those cameras out of the building.
Then more talking about my vision and trying to come across as a professional photographer, and that my images look too much like snap-shots, and he's wanting deep analysis about each of my photographs, which i wasn't in the mood to explain to him.
I would explain it to someone who i though would understand it, but he would not, even if i wrote a million word essay about it.

So then i want to make a bigger print, and he goes to ask the other photography 'teachers' if thats allowed, so he comes back and tells me that they just cannot spare the paper, that they need it, which is bullshit because i am the only person in the class using film for my final major project, everyone else is working exclusively in digital, and i know that if they keep that paper much longer it will go off.
and its just so frustrating because these are the people that will be marking my work at the end, and i need a specific mark to get into the university that i want to go to.
This is exactly the time when a year ago i would have cut myself, it relieves so much tension and anger and aggression. So i have another photo-shoot tomorrow, but one of the people i am photographing backed out yesterday, and now i am screwed, even if i took the photograph and i loved it i wouldn't be able to explain it to the morons at my college.

So i walk home, and it's freezing, but things look up when i get home because i log on to the internet and ive won/bought these great cowboy boots on ebay!

so how was your day?
