Dear friends, I was informed today, directly following my interview, that I have been accepted to the Medical College of Georgia's graduate level medical illustration program. I will get a masters, and then, presumably, I will get a job. Fates willing, I will also find a better selection of clean, intelligent, decent men.
I will not become a professional comic artist. I will have almost NO time once the term starts for anything else at all. So... artistically speaking... this is practically good-bye until 2013. It's hard to be excited about a tiny space and a class size of eight and two years of my nose to the grindstone, occassionally performing actual surgeries on live pigs. It's a far cry from my dream of world-building and character designs and epic narratives. So it's hard to leap for joy, even right after hearing the good news. But in the long run, it should give me a better, more productive life.
Wish me luck. Hope you all are well.
life and all that that implies
