I don't know why, but I am ridiculously happy today. Perhaps it's my new contacts, or the fact it's the weekend, or just my cranberry sierra mist that's making me feel perky.
But, I have a plan for life! Yay!
I've decided to pursue an English education degree after all. Now that I'm in college, away from the super judgmental and shallow atmosphere of high school, I feel like I can get over my shyness and take charge some day. But that's not the end of it, because I still have a plan for art. Since I'm still not comfortable with my skill level, I've decided I can minor in art, and then, when I'm teaching, I can use the summer to continue taking art courses and gradually get the qualifications to get a second degree in graphic design or illustration. Then, I can start offering my services online to websites that need graphic designers, getting commissions and stuff, and maybe applying for illustration jobs on the side. Then, once I have a healthy resume, I can apply for a job with Disney's design group. I don't care if I'm just drawing up ideas for products, designing logos, or putting together DVD covers. I want to work for this company.
And even better, I can still do the Disney College program under an education major since they accept so many, and then do it again later when I'm working on a graphic design/illustration degree. So by the time I'm ready to start trying for my dream job, I'll already have worked with the company in the past, which would look even better on the resume.
And even if I never get there, I still love the idea of teaching, and I love english, and I could always do the art stuff as a side job. Even if I never get my number one dream job, I think I can still be happy.
And speaking of Disney, I just learned a spoiler from the end of the movie Tangled that really excites me. If you want to see, it's under the cut.
HOLY CRAP!
SHE LOOKS LIKE ME! SHE HAS MY HAIR, MY EYES, MY FACE! ALL THAT'S DIFFERENT IS THE NOSE AND THE FACT SHE HAS ACTUAL BOOBS AND A TINY WAIST
I COULD TOTALLY COSPLAY AS HER AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT OMG! IT'S A PRINCESS THAT LOOKS LIKE ME AND LOVES PAINTING AND DRAWING!
THANK YOU DISNEEEEEY!
That said, have some Willow/Tara to complete my fluffy good mood.
And their cat, Ms. Kitty, because hello, kitten plus these two equals cute overload.
And for those not in Buffy fandom, yes it's canon. This show doesn't need photoshop.
(also, whoa the insane awesome of rewatching this and not worrying about being judged for loving this couple man. I love it.)
