[[Survival of the Fittest]]
So I'm sitting here at my house (my parents' house) on my trusty old PC and I would just like to say that I am definitely one of the fittest.
For all of those that denied me and talked me down and thought I wouldn't make it out here on my own...
Look.At.Me.Now.
Even after a grade slip from this past quarter (which doesn't mean shit because I learned more than I have in previous quarters) I still have something like a 3.172 at SCAD. For those who don't know: that means I keep my $3500 a year scholarship and with how strictly the professors are encouraged to grade and since I hadn't had any real formal art training before entering this school...I am doing damn well. NOT to mention the fact that my parents have found a way to pay off my loans and pay cash for the rest of my schooling (the scholarship is REALLY important to that) so...guess what niccas?! I WON'T BE GRADUATING WITH DEBT!!!!!!!! It's a fucking miracle it is.
I've lost weight and with my hair done and my new spring clothes (Goddess bless the saint of a woman that is my mother) I feel like the hottest bitch on the block. Guess what? I am.
I am feeling confidant because I have risen from the ashes as the pheonix I've always known that I am. I'm back and better than I ever was to begin with.
I have the relationship with my parents that I did when I was a child with the picture perfect childhood. I love them. I am blessed to have them. I couldn't have asked for better ones -- even if we did have our differences when I was in high school. Without them I wouldn't be the person I am today and I wouldn't be attending the hottest art school in the country (and I'm SUCCEEDING thank you very fucking much) with an off-campus roof over my head with my most amazing significant other. [PS. we are very much in love and care about eachother very deeply and yes wedding bells will be ringing and yes I did get a better catch than some of you thought I would]
Even with the stress I wouldn't change my life for the world.
And I would like to let all of my naysayers know that all of the shit you put me through pushed me further to prove you wrong...so thank you for that.
I'm alive and kicking and loving every minute of it (even though finals fucking blew).
I would also like to say that I am SO happy and excited for everyone else that has made it thus far and congratulations =) (this especially means you Apryl. I am very proud of you and I hope everything turns out for the best.)
For those having a hard time...good luck because I know you can move past it. If I can. You can.
SO...that is my update and I really do need to get pictures up soon but my camera and shit is back in Savannah.
Now I'm going to watch adult swim and smoke a cigarette...

[[My other reason for being so elated...see my next quarter schedule:
M/W:
Philosophy 101 -- 2PM - 4:30 PM
Fashion Sketching -- 8PM - 10:30 PM
T/R:
Introduction to Photography -- 2PM - 4:30 PM
AND I'm heavily considering majoring in video game design (once I can take the advanced survey of computer art applications class so I can take the intro to video game design class) and keeping a minor in Fashion =)!!!!!...I give that a [[squee]]...
Oh...and did I mention I'll be a JUNIOR in college next year? =P!!!]]
