Illustrator the next part

Ftlogo While my classes on Monday -PHP fyi- are interesting, not too fast but certainly not too slow, my class today, Illustrator, is boring.
With all respect, but there is one student who just bought his first computer, and who is now following Illustrator(???) It slows down the class.
If there was anything to slow down, that is. Our teacher isn't what one can call fast.

Then again, maybe I am just fast with it. In highschool, with 'technology' I had the same problem. It took me 15 min, what took others 35*. And I passed with high grades without ever learning anything.
(Which was btw quite the opposite from most other subjects I had back then...)

The only thing I can do is find other resources that help me go on. Freetutorial is a nice online class.
It contains many tools in one tutorial -probably as many as we'll have in 3 classes.-

I will continue class, I need the surrounding to go on, and actually, being around students is just nice.
Just like highschool all again ;) but then WITH internet. Lucky bastards, the students of today.

*Update: Which reminds me of my afterschool classes of computer back in '92, Wordperfect -while we had already word and excel running at my dad's business- in which we had to do an exam on a floppydisk. I managed to solve it in 5 minutes, copy it on the floppy and pass it on to all my classmates, after hacking the teachers original copy...
Remember Wordperfect, with the paper made menu to attach to your keyboard for the shortcuts. What a laugh.
I played math games years before on DOS, the grey boxes of IBM with green letters. And later, when 12, a commodore 64 attached to a tiny television and a taperecorder with self made games written in basic. Those were the days.
