I basically started out just doodling in my notebooks out of sheer boredom and because I sucked at sports and fitting into high school :XD:
Now I do it because I love it, and want to bring back a dying art form: 2D animation.
I currently attend the Pratt Institute and will be making Illustration my major. I know it's gonna be hard finding a job, but I personally don't care. I feel if I want it bad enough, I'll make it happen, and I'll do it without kissing ass (which is all Communications Majors seem to do...).
I hear a lot of people saying it's all about marketing, but to me there is a big difference between getting your work out there and sucking up to people you want to get hired by. I know this field is hard to make a career out of, but if you aren't willing to work your ass off for anything then it isn't worth even trying.
There are some things in my life I want more than anything, and I'm willing to go through Hell and back if it means I'll succeed :D

Almost done. :-|

So we have 3 more weeks, if you count this one, 'til the semester ends. And I feel overwhelmed with work and priorities...

I still have to get my portfolio together and apply to places. I need letters of recommendation and I keep forgetting to ask my professors >.< and then send out all the applications. The main problem is I'm not sure exactly where I want to go, and although I have an idea my parents don't quite agree, and housing is limited everywhere. Which brings me to my next problem.

I need a job. Like, legit. This is getting ridiculous. Nineteen years old and no former experience. I didn't even get workstudy at the school. I'm planning on applying to Dunkin Donuts just because it's close by and I'm pretty sure they'd transfer me no matter where I go to school. But I really need some form of income since I'm almost positive next year I'm gonna end up having to cook for myself, not to mention the art supplies I'll need to get over the year.

And the work load. Holy shit, I really don't wanna think about it. I have a term paper due next week I haven't started, photos to develop, a pulp fiction magazine cover rough that's only half done, and I feel like there's so much more I haven't done that I need to do. I'm so out of it. I feel lost.

Doesn't help I can't really concentrate on my studies when my mind's always on my boyfriend hahaha long story short, I broke up with my previous partner and he had been single for a bit, and after much talk and contemplation we decided to give this a chance. I managed to visit him over the break, long trip but so worth it to see his smiling face :D so he's been my only thoughts since then, and I kinda have to focus more on my work than him. But I can't help it. He's so awesome ^^

Anyway, that's a little update on my life. It's frazzled but I'm surprising happy about it, even though I feel overwhelmed and kinda behind. I guess I owe a big thank you to my honey for that :heart:

Until later...byes!
