So it goes.
I just told my mom that I will not be going back to CCS. At least not any time soon. I have five semesters before I have to re-apply, so I hope to get my degree before that time is up, but I have other things I need to focus on right NOW and graphic design is not one of them. It's a huge slap in her face because she has been paying through the nose for me to go to that school. I don't even think I can look at her for a while. I can tell she's beyond disappointed. But for someone who has preached endlessly that she only wants her kids to be happy, it shouldn't matter what I do. I have no doubt that I will be successful at whatever I choose to do, be it film or graphic design. Even both. The thing is, I wouldn't feel this way if it hadn't cost so much and if she wasn't paying a thousand dollars a month for my tuition. Art school should not cost as much as becoming a doctor or lawyer. It shouldn't even cost that much to do those things either. But definitely not $950 a credit hour to make pictures. I'll post about what my next step in life will be, once I get the final word. It could be quite wonderful.
