After 2010-2011

By now, many of you know that I will not be returning to San Marin. Some of you have suspected that San Marin will not have multimedia and video production next year, so you probably knew for months too. By the time you read this message, you may have already seen me dismantle part of the lab... or whatever is left of it.


I have probably also told you that if I had known more about the position when I applied for the job, I never would have accepted the position. I imagine some of the students would not have taken the class had they known more about the condition of the lab and the lack of cameras or software or.... We all expected better. 


Fortunately, I took the job. Despite the conditions, I met many wonderful people, and I will always be grateful that I worked here. Students worked even when the equipment did not. And many of you learned an important lesson. 


It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility.


Some of you exceeded my expectations and created amazing final projects. Other students were trapped in their frustration. I understand your frustration. I often shared it. I heard your complaints. Often, there was not much more I could do. For those of you who did not enjoy this experience, I hope you learn how to avoid these situations or learn how to change them.


For those of you who wish to contact me in the future, I am sure you will find me. The best way to reach me is through one of my several emails. You can probably find me at bryanfarley2010 at gmail. If you do not find me there, search for me on the internet. Feel free to use anything except my personal Facebook account.


I wish you all the very best.
