*whimper*

*panic*

One of my assignments for Tech Writing, due within the next two weeks, is "Interview of Individual in your Profession".

I don't HAVE a profession! I've never had a job! I don't even know what area of my field I'm going to go into, if it'll be illustration or graphic design or WHAT! I sure as hell don't know anyone in those areas! I don't know where to look! I don't know what to do! I can't do this!

Oh god, someone help me? What do I do? How am I supposed to do this? How?

Edit: Okay. I have someone I can interview. That was amazingly easy, actually.

However, the rest of the stuff is near-equally intimidating, and I'm this close to having a crying panic attack, which would make me completely useless for actually getting work done. So I am resolutely taking my ass to bed now, and seeing what I can do tomorrow.

My guess? Tell the teacher that and see what they suggest or offer instead. They can be nice if you ask.

It turns out I'm fortunate to have a friend on AIM who qualifies, and he's offered to be the interview.

With that most terrifying thing out of the way, now I find that the rest of it is only slightly less terrifying so I'm going to sleep now, doing what I can tomorrow, and throwing myself on the mercy of the teacher for the rest.

I fucking hate Internet classes I'm so bad at them I specifically signed up for a physical class for just this reason D:

That's good! And a good idea.

I hear you there. I thought internet classes were a good idea but I found out quickly that I can't quite do it without a teacher. Well, usually. I'm trying another that's only half-semester.

I just... I'm bad at keeping up with classes in general, but normally I can hack it. Internet classes pwn me, though. I've been using the Internet exclusively for play for... eleven years, now. It is hard to say "whoop, now I have to use it for werk!" and be a good Internet student.

This is just going to get worse when I have a job because I'm going to feel even LESS like doing homework when I get home. But I need the money, and I need to be able to make it myself. And I need to be employed, in general.

Whimper.

...interview some random artist on your friendslist? D: I'd ask the teacher for advice here.

[fuyu]

Fortunately, I have just such a friend and he offered. D: So that clears ONE thing.

The rest is just aaaaaugh I'm going to dieeeee. I hate to wibble pathetically at the teacher, but I'm really flustered by all this and it doesn't help that it turned out to be a mostly Internet class. I'm really, really bad about letting those creep up on me. I'm gonna have to beg mercy.

DDDD: What are the rest of the requirements? If you look at them all and break them down into steps it might seem less unmanageable...
