on a more personal note...
Since we're getting close to the end of the year, I thought it might be a good time to discuss some of the things going on in my life, and more specifically my current path changes.
So up to about two months ago, I was a psychology major with about a year, maybe a year and a half left to go. After some thinking (and crying!) I decided that I wanted to pursue a career that was oriented towards the arts, specially graphic design.
I've always loved painting, drawing, photography, looking at compostion and color, photo manipulation. I really do love to design pictures on photoshop and painter. And I know when I take the time to put some effort into something, it comes out well.
My Mom was a painter and I grew up watching her, and she taught me everything she knew. However, I know some of my family, especially my Dad will not be happy with my choice. And because of this, it is hard to not doubt myself, hard to know that I can do this. Growing up when I would tell my parents that I wanted a career in the arts my Mom would support me and my Dad would say I should go for it... but only after I got a career in something else first.
So right now things are frustrating to say the least. And I am without a doubt worried and scared. But I have hope that things will get better and that I will slowly become more confident in my abilities. :)
