How does she do it?
XDD
Ha...I'm trying.
Today was interesting...my Basic Design teacher called me to his office and said: "I can tell you're going to be very successful."
We talked about what I wanted to do, and which university I wanted to transfer to (SIUE)...but he said going there would be a waste for me. Their art program is great for PAINTERS, DRAWERS, and SCULPTERS...but I wouldn't get much for my money in the GRAPHIC DESIGN field.
So he told me to think about going to UMSL.
It's basically the same price as SIUE...and because I'm in St. Clair county, UMSL has a little program where I can pay in-state tuition.
I looked at the campus...it is GORGEOUS!
But the best part?
If I went to SIUE...I'd have to take a 45 minute drive to get there. That's fine...but if I have to wake up at 5am...leave at 6am...get there by 7am...stay into school until 3-4pm, get home at 5-6pm...that's a hell-of-a-long day. And in the winter time? I'd have to fight with traffic AND bad weather!
BUT...if I went to UMSL...I drive 10 minutes to SWIC (my college now)...park at the metro-station there...get on the metro...45 minutes later...I'm there.
UMSL is the same distance as SIUE (only UMSL is in Missouri and SIUE is in Illinois)...it's just my basic every day drive.
So...90 minute drive round trip? Or 20 minute drive round trip?
I'm excited...I hope it goes as I want!
I have to find out more though...
On a side note...
I'm fricken sick of people bitching about how they hate the U.S. Yeah yeah, people have an opinion--but it's THANKS to the U.S. that they even GET an opinion. Nothing is perfect...but the U.S. is wonderful compared to many places.
I'm not afraid of this person seeing this and having their feelings hurt...they don't care about me anyway and would never read my blog unless I begged them to. XP I hate exhausting my efforts and CARING ABOUT SOMEONE who DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT about ME.

I'm watching the finale for America's Got Talent...I hope Drew Stevyns wins! ...but I won't mind if Barabara Padilla wins. Just as long as none of the other 8 win...^.^
