The calm in the middle of the tempest...
It's been a while since I've updated the Journal, but I know you don't mind.
I've been busy at TCU, barely able to get online at all. But I managed to sneak on for a little while today, our instructor for data entry was gone. But I've gotten a few good ideas for pictures since I've been here.
I want to take my digital camera out and explore St. Louis with Tenshi. My world is looking up, at least I get to spend time with the love of my life. He's going out of town for the weekend to visit his cousin, ummm I forgot her name. *blushes and grins*
I'm eager to be out in my own apartment and off the Job Corps center. I want most to get to live my life, right now I'm doing my best to complete my training and still have it stretch out until the summer break. So I'm trying to slack off but still work hard. Do you know how difficult it is to slack off and still work hard? *shakes her head* I'm not sure if I would rather just hurry through the program or if I want to stretch it out until the summer when I can go home to Springfield and see my mom.
I know she worries about me, but I'm not in any kind of danger; not any different than every other human being on earth that is just walking down the street and living life normally.
I'm trying to help Master find a better job so that he can help me pay for the apartment in a few months. The apartment is the thing that's most on my mind. Once I have a place to live, and a job to support myself, then I can continue with what I like to do. I'm still planning on going to college, unfortunately I'm like most others, in that I have no funding from my family what so ever. And without that funding I was forced to try and work my way through secondary education. Well, hopefully with my training I can get a job that will be easier to get me through.
I'll probably go to college here in St. Louis, as is Master's plan for his own secondary education. I met Master's family, they are all really very kind. Even if they are a little more naieve than I am about the world. (I can be pretty naieve at times about the world) Or maybe they're just cautious, more cautious than me.
I've been reading Jamie's livejournal, I don't understand why I still read it. Probably because after everything, I had given her a piece of my heart when I gave her my full friendship. I tend to hold myself back from some people now, there are very few people that know me fully. There aren't many people that I get that close to anymore.
Somehow I wish it could have been different. But all is for the best. I think now there are two people that I'm not blood related to that I have that close friendship with, but the difference with these two is that they actually return the friendship with their own. It's not one-sided.
I can't make it to Sakura Con this year, as much as I want to go. If it was a month later there was a slim chance that I might make it. Unfortunately, it's at the end of March this year. On the up side it gives me more time to prepare.
I have decided that I will be working on some pictures once I get my computer set up and my apartment. I've met the owner of a screen printing company that will soon have locations IN St. Louis and I have to contact her about prices and such. To see what kind of a deal I can work out with her so that I can sell cheap prints.
I'm planning on getting a set of 8X11's and a size bigger of prints of my artwork once I get some decent pieces out. I need to start rebuilding my portfolio. I was also thinking about doing a T-shirt design or two to bring along next year to the con. Deanna and I might share a table in artist's alley next year, depends on how things come along with the computer set-up.
Hopefully I can get enough good digital works to print, as well as some actual traditional media (was thinking of getting prints for the 'folio)that I can show it off in the art show as well. Double exposure *winks* it's the best way to do business.
Well I need to make some forward progress for the day in class so I need to get back to playing with the ten-key number pad thing *pokes at keyboard*
See ya later!
