Back on track! WOOO!!! :D
First a little something on-topic: In one of my classes the other day we were told to write down a list of our top ten favorite movies. My number one, of course, was Megamind. I thought I'd be the only one there with Megamind even on my list, but while the teacher started droning on with her lecture, I glanced to my left at the list of the girl sitting next to me and she had Megamind on there too! OK, so it wasn't her number 1, but it was there! It was all I could do to keep from going total fangirl on her in the middle of class, but I did grin at her and get all excited -- as did she! I couldn't help it, haha! XP She whispered to me that she thought it was such a cute, sweet film and I had to stop myself from hugging her, heh! I love finding Megamind fans! ;D
Now for some GOOD news! After a lot of soul searching and encouragement from friends and family (you guys are the greatest and I love you all! <3), I've come to accept the fact that the program here at R.I.T. was not right for me and the best thing I can do for myself is to go home and start classes at U Albany to get my Master's in Fine Arts. I'm very happy to tell you that after all the misery of the past few months, I'm finally getting things back on track! A very sweet young woman is taking over my apartment as of Sunday and I'm moving back home tomorrow!!! For the first time in months (try more than half the year) I finally feel like things are starting to go right for me instead of simply feeling like I'm being pushed in a direction completely wrong! I'll be able to live with my husband and my cats again! I'm so excited! My hubby is thrilled too -- this was harder on both of us than either of us anticipated (not to mention my poor cats who have been totally miserable with me gone... I guess it's safe to say they're mama's boys and girls, haha! XP). It'll be so nice to be home and not have to dread leaving again. Tuesday I'll be meeting with my academic advisor so I can get my classes scheduled, then everything will be all set for me to start at U Albany in January! I already feel my creative juices starting to flow again; this is a much better path for me to follow (not to mention more affordable; not only is it close to home, but U Albany is at least 1/3 or 1/4 the cost of R.I.T.!). I feel so relieved, like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders. It's nice to feel like I can breathe again. :)
Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm OK and finally on a path that'll take me to much better places. Thank you all so much for all your prayers, kind thoughts, and support! You really helped make it easier for me to make the right decision and not feel too guilty about it. I love you guys! You're the best! <333
