We\u2019re closing in on spring finals at the Art Institute. And I just got this note from a student:<\/p>\n

School is like being hit by an invisible bus. A bus full of sardines, and being driven by a monkey. After being hit, the monkey flips you off, leaving you speechless and confused. So basically school is stinky and is going bananas.<\/em><\/p>\n

And I\u2019m thinking the \u2018everything is due\u2019 pressure is starting to sink in. And that I’m the monkey. And wow, I get to drive An Invisible Bus.<\/em><\/p>\n

in perspective<\/strong>
\nBut in all the melee going on right now, I\u2019d like to see something more positive come of this. Usually the positive part hits when standing in a classroom filled with incredible final projects – which I hope<\/del> happens next week.<\/p>\n

This is my spin. It\u2019s what I do these days:<\/p>\n

I’m a game show host in a forced labor camp.<\/em><\/p>\n

But – I was recently talking with web instructor and confidant Bill Mead – and we both agreed that we really love teaching in a creative environment. Because our students really are nuts.<\/em> In such a great way.<\/p>\n

And that’s so cool. It’s fantastic to be around all that creative energy all of the time.<\/em><\/p>\n

The world needs more creative and fun people. Who work hard. Who can change the world.<\/p>\n

What started as a few photos is now a series. They\u2019ve been making these pretty much on a weekly basis at this point.<\/p>\n\r\n\t
