Wish I were there
Wishing I were in Vancouver right now. I'm not much for huge crowds, but wow, from what I saw of the opening ceremony *despite some errors* It looked AMAZING. I think I would only be interested in that. Maybe the hockey games, but I'm sure the tickets to that were super expensive and hard to get anyway.
BUT, I am lucky to be going to New York City on the 26th. So I will be happy with that.
My most recent painting is three water nymphs in a river. Was supposed to depict water, so I used the river. Most people just drew a river, or a drop of water...etc, but I went and added characters in. I wonder if I will lose marks for that, or get more?
Anyway, J, the ass who I'm always talking about actually listened to my presentation this time, and he actually PRAISED ME. WTF. I was a bit...shocked. So, if HE liked it then maybe I will get a good mark.
OH! I got a 99% on my Maiko painting. :)
So, I exchanged my money to USD funds thursday when the dollar was at 95 cents. I dont have much money left but my grandmother was kind enough to give me 20 dollars. I've been really saving and havent had money for myself. I think I learned my lesson about not working while going to school.
I think I chose the wrong year to not work though. Visual Arts is so easy for me. Sure, I had a few challenges...but I liked those too. But next year I will be using a macbook pro and doing graphic design using photoshop, illustrator and some flash. I;ve dabbled in photoshop making LJ icons (and another program to make icons thats not one we will use) but aside from that I have no experience like some of the other students have.
It will be...how do they say, a learning curve. I was told that with my artistic ability that I should do well in the class. You can learn how to use the programs, but being talented artistically takes time. I have ten years on these kids when it comes to that, lol. but some are really improving. I'm impressed. :)
So, Im a bit worried over that. I';m also worried because I dont think I will be able to participate in the internship program. I'm hoping they have more than one, but the big one was working for the millitary in gagetown programming flash games and animation, website stuff to teach soilders.
I dont think Iw ill do well in things like that (but thats not the reason why I dont think I could go)
AS a mature student I already have an apartment, a boyfriend and two cats. going to gagetown would require that I move, since its about 3 hours away. Andrew does not want to move. I would go alone b/c I will make money while I am there...so we could still support each other...but the thing is I dont drive. If I were the move there I would want to live in Fredericton...but thats like a... what 15-20min drive to Oromocto? I dont think there are any busses that would go there. So that means possibly living in Oromocto...all that place has is three thrift stores...seriously...
I know..Its like I am finding excuses...but even if I go out there alone I'd need to share an apartment. I haven't dont that in my life, its always been Andrew and I. I would do it, but I can't rely on others to get me to and from work...Id take the bus, but I dont even then there is one out there. *cry*
If I dont intern my chances of getting a job are slim. So I am hoping there are other oppertunities. For example, I become a great student and people ASK for me...But I am a bit worried over that becaue I dont have much experience gah
Ok. Orion is crawling all over me, I cant see my keybpoard lol.
enough of my complaining...
I really need some kind of a coffee drink. ;latte?
OK his cat butt is in my face...time to put the cat down.
haha
