Indecision!
Aaaaaah indecision... This stinks kinda. I was doodling today in Brooks on this piece of receipt paper, 'cause it was slow, and I ended up making this pretty cool drawing w/ the pen. Customer's who noticed it tucked against my drawer seemed impressed and asked me if I was in school for it. After a few comments I began to wonder, why aren't I? I've kinda thought about it before and considered the possibilities, but never really taken the idea seriously.
Today, I started to really think about it. I like science, but I think that art has always been my passion, more-so than science. Or maybe not. ARGH.
Anyway, I think that it's silly because no matter what I go into for school, I will always be doing art anyway, so why not be doing art, and school, and then have art be my job, and just save time?
I suggested this to my Mom and Dan, (they came to buy something at Brooks today) and the result was very disheartening. My Mom said "you've got to be kidding" followed by more negative comments, and Dan said "what, do you want to be flipping burgers for the rest of your life"... OUCH!? That stung.
I'm not going to do anything until I finish the east west program, so I'm won't be making any rash decisions. I will continue to consider this though, and may begin putting together a portfolio. If I did change my major, I'd probably transfer to RISD, NU isn't exactly known for it's art program. I dunno tho, maybe I wouldn't.
Either way I like both science and art, but would like to put my artistic ability to some use, and would love to improve it, which would be hard to do without schooling. However it's frustrating, and I feel like I'd be setting myself behind, and that I've wasted two, going on three years...
Lemme know what you guys think... I could use some imput...
