My final project for school PART_1

Before christmas I talked to two professors of my school. They both told me indirectly that my project is a bit big for the time that is reserved for making it. The fact that I'm going to be traveling 1,5 months of the reserved 3 months for this project isn't really helping.. hahaha.

I'm making a Flash-game(a game you can play with your browser) for a company.

I mean it is a big project. It just might even be too big for me to finish it in time. But it's not "fair" for my teachers to tell me that I'm not able to finish it in time. Hell! I prefer taking too big project that actually forces me to learn new stuff.

I could design a visual appearance for some company but there is nothing new in that. This is the problem in our school. They are not forcing/making us to learn new stuff in our own time. I think students need balanced amount of support and forcing if school expects them to evolve to something and learn new stuff.

I know these two teachers didn't mean anything personal by telling me to make my project a bit smaller. It's their long experience saying that these things finally fail. Is it pessimism or realism? I don't know and don't really care. I'm planning to show them that it was pessimism, at least this time. Still, little support would be nice.
