Art School Confidence...

[rainydayzefish]

My god...how could I ever have thought that I made the wrong choice? My school is PERFECT...I mean, perfect....for me anyway. The people are all genuinely nice...and either very down to earth or extremely odd. So either way, they rock my world. Everyone was hilarious and inviting...there were even skits! I was the Mad Hatter...in nutcracker form! It was great and powerful times. We did a lot of those beloved "get to know each other" exercises...and they all went famously. There was only about 20 people there(half of the freshman class), very balanced gender wise. I was so comfortable immediately, it was like being released into my natural environment. It was pure perfection. After receiving all the policy lectures, the book list, and my schedule...I had a moment of elation. That feeling of..."This is real. This is where I am, where I'm supposed to be. Everything I've wanted and worked for has lead me here." And, right then, I was so purely happy it really is indescribable. I can't wait to start. Can't wait to submerge myself into the world...even though apparently they say that for every hour of class there is at two hours of homework...even more for studio classes. Wowee..I have faith I will actually do my homework...seeing as it will be what I love to do, at least most of the time. I have seven classes to begin with, first semester. Though I only go to school 3 days a week...which means plenty of time to work! I may only work those days I have off (FRI- MON) seeing as I have days that I attend from 8AM to 5PM, a four hour class completely dedicated to drawing! AMAZING!

So this is my lineup...

English Comp
Art Introduction
Self Awareness
College Life
Drawing
Color and Form
Design Fundamentals

It's going to be phenomenal. I know it. I feel it. Any school that leads you outside to draw in the sun with your feet in the grass for an hour during orientation is just plain wonderful!
