After deliberation and talking to multiple different people, I have a few things figured out.
I decided I'm not going to drop that one class. I talked to the guy that taught me 3D modeling on Maya and he said I'd be fine so I guess I'm okay. It will be weird but I think I can suffer through it and love every minute of it at the same time.
Also, my school had a semester kick off thing tonight. I basically rolled my eyes about it because it seemed pointless, but I went anyways and dang it was actually kinda fun! I spent the time before the meeting hanging out with some of my buddies from my classes and I found out that they're all super cool - well, I already knew that, but people act different in nonprofessional situations. We drew and talked and laughed and made fun of basically everything, it was fantastic!
When the meeting finally started it was as boring as I expected it to be... Until it turned into a pep talk.
My professors are great guys - don't get me wrong - but during the beginning of my schooling I hated talking to them about anything because they basically told you "you'll never make it" any time you asked them about anything. It made me so mad. I'm an avid believer of anyone having the talent/ability to do whatever the heck they want, so when someone walks into the room, stomping on people's dreams and saying "you can't do it" I have to hold myself back from saying something I'll regret.
Eventually I got used to their taunting and took them as challenges instead. Sort of a "you said I can't do it so I'll prove you wrong" out look on basically everything that has to do with my school stuff. And then tonight, I felt like I finally understood what they were doing.
They want me to prove them wrong.
If I say I can do something, they're willing to help me as long as I can help myself. I have the drive and the passion to fuel a whole team of students. If I can channel that and concentrate on my project(s), I'll be the best person in the whole department. Seriously. I know I can do it.
I can handle anything they throw at me. I'm not scared, I won't shy away. This is my race and I'm gonna run faster then anyone else.
I'm gonna win this.
Because I can.
