Awwww, yeah I totally feel your pain! I am in my animation class and we haven't even started animating and it's six weeks in for me too. We are learning how to copy and paste, what a .jpg/.gif is and how to use iMovie o__o;
Oh God. :l Tbh my school sucks. We are so underfunded it's ridiculous. At least at my old school in drawing class we had objects in front of us to draw... last semester I had to draw things off of projector screens. All of my teachers just show online tutorial videos during class too. Hahaha/ I'm working hard on my portfolio this semester to try to get a job in a firm over summer break and to just take it from there.
