Tentative plans for the future!
Alright, I just want you people to know that sometimes there's this muted, internal voice in my head that tells me to do certain things. Nothing OVERLY dramatic most of the time, but it's usually good intentions kind of thing.
I mean, there was that one time it told me to become a minister, but I don't see how that'd work out. You never know.
But since like, I heard about the Center for Cartoon Studies, it made me sort of remember my little dream of becoming a comic writer. While most of the class focuses on cartooning, that's nothing I can't handle with a ton of art prep classes and cartooning books. Which I'm going to get started on Tuesday, when I go to Barnes and Noble to pick a couple up to start with.
Back on topic, after having taken the summer program for the school, I really really really want to get back into comic writing and design. I love the area, I love the school. I mean, the school is still a work in progress, but I want to go back. The Critical Friends have all decided that we want to take the course again next summer, but that's still up in the air and none of us will really know until the summer comes if we'd all be able to make it again.
The only problem is that I have two dreams. One is to become a comic writer, and the other is a counselor. I really really want to learn psychology and social work and help kids, but judging by my type of character, my level of commitment to certain things, I can much more easily drop a comic project than I can a little kid who's suicidal. Well, the cartooning school is only a two-year program, that means I could take two years of cartooning and two years of regular college. Rounds me out, and I think that's what I'm going to do.
The only problem is that the Center for Cartoon Studies isn't credited yet, so if I went right after highschool, I wouldn't get any credits. I could wait and take two years of normal college first, then take the school, but I don't know if I want to wait that long.
So, here comes the little voice in my head, telling me to just go ahead with the school. Spend the next year learning how to draw, work on my commitment levels, and continue with my writing styles, and I should be ready for it.
Wooooooo....man...this makes me nervous, but excited. I just really want to get back to White River Junction, that's where I want to be. This is my life and it's what I want to do with it.
Critical Friends....ASSSSSSSSSEEMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLEE!!!
