Dr Phil says "Don't do anything rash..."

When I was a kid, my mother always taught me not to do anything when you're mad. However, I can't help but think that writing a blog when you're mad is a good way of getting your frustration out in a calming method.




So today I got pretty pissed off... Now let's start off by saying that I don't mind constructive critisism (i'm an aspiring singer... lol its part of my daily life) yet today just made me feel like we were being picked on. You know in those old police interrogations where you see the criminal being held in the interrogation room and two cops are swinging a light above his head whilst bombarding questions at him?? Thats how I felt. lol.

Let's discuss why I was so mad, first of all, it was our FIRST attempt at a podcast. Secondly, to be told that it was a "failed experiment" in front of a whole class is extremely off putting and to a point... slightly humiliating. Yes it was an experiment, and yes i guess to an extent, it did fail. But shouldn't we get points for trying something original and new. Something that isn't like everyone else. In society today, everyone seems to follow the crowd... there is no unique qualities anymore. We just wanted to add something a little different.

I write my blog (although not religiously, more so than others have), I'll get up and give an impromptu presentation because no one else in the class wants to do it. I do the readings and any other homework that is asked of me. I turn up to classes unless I have a valid reason (i.e.: illness). I'm generally a good student. So today was not my happiest of moments. Now I'm not writing this to insult my teacher because I have a lot of respect for him. I think he is good at juggling all his students, engaging them in learning about relatively new technology and actually getting them to learn the practical elements that can often be ignored by other proffessionals. However, my blog is where I write about things that concern or affect me. I am a truly terrible person when it comes to voicing my opinions yet I am better at writing them. It stems from calming me down and allows me to think about whether I am being completely selfish etc or actually making sense.


N.B The above was written before talking to my teacher.

However a note to anyone reading this, writing up commentary on an emotion by itself is good and old yet the best thing to do is talk to whoever has upset or you've upset. Sometimes you might not have even realised that you've angered them. So do be aware of other peoples feelings. Talk to them. I did and I now understand the critisism and my teacher understands me. :) Lol I totally feel like Dr Phil.
