yeah, i'm one of the people that has never heard of it. why were you thinking about there and where is there?
it's kinda funny, i can't hear orders sometimes and have to ask people to repeat themselves over and over. the thing is that we got this jazz band that plays some nights and they are too loud. that and the combo of years of rock gigs that has nearly made me deaf makes getting orders a bit of a challenge. needless to say my lip reading skills haven't improved over the years. might be time to take a sign language class....
when i look at it now i think it can qualify as a form of cheating, i guess. my mate's father is one of those well respected alumni and he taught some classes a few terms while he was doing his masters and after so he's pretty established with the administration fellas. anyways, he had this art show in san fran several months ago so i went up to check it out, so my support like. i also brought some paintings with me to give to my friends like i always do. so he sees these and likes them, and then askes me if i wanted to finish with schooling. i say yes and it'd be great and all but i'm really struggling to just get by right now; rent, car shite, cigarettes costs. he tells me he'll see around for me and see what he can do. oh, he also used to be a kantor (spelling) and through some magic got me a partial grant with a jewish arts funding grant and a partial from san fran art institute. i also might be teaching some undergrad classes... that part i'm not too sure on yet, probably find out in november. all and all it's great. the moment i can sell my car is going to be the biggest relief. then it's vespa or motorcycle time.
