Wow ... the length between posting is getting longer ...
Since the last time I posted:
I had a horrible last semester at school, but at the same time it made me pause and seriously consider what I was working toward. Did I want to continue with 3-D or did I want to do something different? The answer was something different. There's an amazing teacher in the Digital Media department who sat down with me and looked at my work. We talked for over an hour about my concerns and what I was wanting to do with my career. It led me to the realization that I love art more than anything and that's what I want to focus on. So, I am back in the art program working toward becoming a 2-D artist/graphic designer/eventual concept artist. I feel settled and in the right place now. I've only got a couple of semesters left even though I'm having to split my last one into two, but that's okay.
I finally got a job, but then I got my old job back five months after that. I know I had said that I didn't want to go back there, but it's actually very different now and I love it! I answer the phones and deal with customer orders. Not a bad job really, except for those few customers that are grumpy, but I can typically handle them since it's not face to face.
My dad's still having medical problems because of his diabetes. I try to help as much as I can, but he's stubborn and I have little patience sometimes when it comes to his stubbornness mostly because I have the same stubborn streak.
Um ... well I think that about covers it. I'm going to try and write some tomorrow, but I'm making no promises. It seems like every time I say that nothing comes of it. -_-'
