Finally someone let me outta my cage...
I'm really not loving my school. It's practices are archaic as is it's technology. The teachers don't teach, as I've stated many times in The Art Zombie Affair. I'm out of there, I'm going through the process of escape. If you read my last post on my art blog you'll understand everything... I'm not done with school, no worries there I've already explored and sent out for information from other schools and am planning a trip to PNCA in Portland next month. I have to see how my work schedule works out, but my friends (Kyle, DJ, and Gina) from NWCA have agreed to come with me(ROAD TRIP!). It will be good times. I also am looking to Savannah College of Art and Design, the Art Institutes(even though they suck as much now as they ever did), USC for their film program, and Tobyn recommends Western. I don't know if a traditional University environment is best for me...but I love what I saw of Bellingham, and he says I'd love the school itself. I love him and trust him to know what I might enjoy...not to mention I do adore my liberals and they apparently abound there...running freely through the fields and singing. That could be pretty freakin' awesome. Right now though, the first two seem most promising...and PNCA seems perfect. I love Portland, other than Seattle it's my favorite city. The school offers Intermedia, Illustration, Communication Design and Photography(and others but those are the ones I'm most interested in). I'm not sure what I'd do yet...I do love photography. In SCAD I know that I'd major in Production Design seeing as that is my dream profession. Problem is the price tags on so many of my schools...they are almost all private, and that means MUCHO deniro. If I were to attend SCAD I'd be over a hundred thousand dollars in debt by tuition alone, pre supplies. JESUS! Portland is a little better, but not much. I'm not sure if the cost of living in Savannah would balance that out or not, all of these things are things to look into. I now have time! I no longer feel sentenced to the mediocrity of a tiny ill equipped school. I have so many options...I'm working at Central Market for a year, and hopefully in the next few months apply figure out what to do and apply and a school better suited for my wants and needs. I'm saving as much cash as possible. But out of that cash comes a nice little laptop...hopefully a Macbook. :D Some programs are in order too, though I have some friends who can...get them for me. Tsk, tsk I know. But I bes broke! I guess not for long though. I start work tomorrow. WOOT! So excited, I'll have something to do, something that will pay me. I 'll have money for rent, food, and fun things, as well some for saving. Money to pay Tobyn back for carrying my slackeriness this last month. Things are good...lovely...and wonderful. All is good and as it should be.
