Sooooo it's been a while but I've been really lazy I guess. A lot of shit has happened.
Basically a long time I had planned to go to the Art Institute of Phoenix and major in animation because I'm a slave to Pixar. Well if my lj is any clue as to what happened, you'll know that I dicked around for a couple of years instead of following my dreams~*~*~*~*~
Well the other week I decided to finally get off my ass and check it out. Me, Lacey and Krystal went to open house and then I applied and then a week later there I am sitting in my first class.
It's actually pretty crazy and amazing. Everyone is so nice and helpful, which is probably just to ease the pain of my $53,000 loans. But whatever, I got over $20,000 in grants and that made me feel like a g.
But if I may take a serious turn, I feel fucking awesome. I cried all the way home after me and my mom got all the financial stuff taken care of because I was so fucking happy. I never thought I'd make it here but look what's happened. I've never had any sort of direction in my life and I feel this is the best decision I ever made, (well apart from wanting to marry my lady). And absolutely nothing and no one is going to take it away from me, really. In January Lacey is going as well, so the couple months I have ahead of her will only be for the better and I could probably help her pay off her loans.
And we even found an apartment right down the street from school. It's cheaper than our apartment we've got now and I like it a shit ton better. Everything seems to be working out for us now, falling into place like it was meticulously planned, when in reality it was like a spur of the moment kind of deal.
And classes so far are awesome. I'm actually being SOCIAL. I made a friend, this guy Rafael, and we're both majoring in animation. He wants to be a comic book artist and he's already been published. He's working on this crazy graphic novel based around Aztec mythology and werewolves and it sounds awesome. He showed me some of his character work, SO GOOD. AND he's looking for a writer, so we were talking and I think I'm going to set him up with some of my stuff. Who knows what can happen. BUT THE BEST THING IS THAT I'M TRYING REALLY HARD NOT TO BE AWKWARD BRITANY IN THE CORNER. I'M GETTING INVOLVED OH MAN.
I can't even describe the feeling of success. I've never had it before. I think I can get used to this.
