Actual entry....
Yes, for the first time in one or two weeks, I'm going to type up an actual update on my life. Yeah, I know it won't be interesting. My life in general isn't very interesting, but I feel obligated to type something of value since I've clogged this journal with surveys and quizzes lately.
First off, I'm actually typing the *proper* way now, after being in Computer Applications for nearly a month. Go me. ALL we do right now in that class is type. Non-stop. Which is more tolerable on some days than others. The good thing is that it's braindead work though.
It is SO hard for me to draw anything right now. I just can't seem to focus and get any good ideas. Ms. Butler wanted each student in our class to draw something for the Literary Magazine this year. I think the due date is sometime early next week. Anyways, I feel like drawing some character designs, but I'm not sure if I should think of some good ones before sitting down to draw, or else just draw whatever comes out of my head at the moment and work from there. I think I need some inspiration from ledheavy.com and deviantart again. =/
That reminds me...today I was doodling in the margin of my Human Phys. notes and it really looked like something Chris thefuriousbacon would do. Abstract stuff. It's unusual for me to draw stuff like that. I always tell people that my mind is rooted too deeply in the real world for abstract ideas.
News on SCAD
Well, everyone probably knows by now that I went to the "SCAD Day" 2 weekends ago. After going down there, I think I've made up my mind that SCAD is where I want to go after high school. And my mom decided we'd try to do whatever we could to allow me to go there all 4 years. This is GREAT news for me. Of course I'm nervous about it. Just what the art classes down there are like. Also the fact that I haven't zero-ed in on a major yet, but I think graphic design is now out of the picture.
And as of now, the only thing I need to do to be considered for acceptance is to get my statement of purpose in. I'm procrastinating on that. Once again I'm nervous...this time about putting my goals and plans down on paper for them to see. Mostly because I haven't got any set in stone. My mom wants me to take the SAT or ACT again, because if I bring up my score even higher (I think this is impossible....a 1380 on the SAT?) I qualify for a higher academic scholarship. I can't even remember the dollar amount, but it's more than the $5,000/yr. I currently qualify for. I also need to look into online scholarships. SO MANY THINGS I NEED TO DO. GAHHHH.
Don't have much else to say. Me, Heather, Brittany, and Brent from art class were going to see "The Butterfly Effect" today, but Heather has to work. I'm kind of hoping we don't see it...since that movie doesn't interest me much. And I don't want to waste whatever money I have on something I don't care about, since I got my last paycheck a week ago.
