Success?

[megalodon823]

Dear friends, I was informed today, directly following my interview, that I have been accepted to the Medical College of Georgia's graduate level medical illustration program.  I will get a masters, and then, presumably, I will get a job.  Fates willing, I will also find a better selection of clean, intelligent, decent men

Good luck!

I know it's not what you wanted, but it sounds really intriguing in the long run.

Gonna miss you and your art, but definitely good luck! :)

Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment! I wish you all the best.

*hugs* honey, while this is a far cry from what you've dreamed of, take it as an opportunity instead of something negative. You get to try something *different*, something *new*!! And while you will be busy, there *should* be something inbetween called 'free time' and you can do whatever you want there. You are *GOING* somewhere and I am *proud* of you because of that! I had to change directions too and it isn't easy, but it's better than sitting around and having nothing to do.

I'm really proud of you for getting in. It may be hard, but I'm sure you'll excel (and a class size of eight is a good thing, isn't it? More hands on and all?).

But...well, I'm torn, of course. But I don't think there's a need to be so dire. You draw. It's what you do. Even if you don't have time to create the epic masterpieces, it's not like you can just switch off the bit of your brain that makes things up. And this...this is all just a moment, a means, and a path, not a final destination.

So I don't know. I guess what I'm saying, what I'm trying to say is go, do well, and become a freaking amazing medical illustrator. Get yourself a good steady job (and hopefully maybe even a guy). But don't...don't be dire. Because just because you become a medical illustrator or anything else doesn't mean that you won't still have a chance to tell your stories, to build your worlds, and to share them, if that's what you really want

Not dire... just not jumping for joy. It could be great, or it could really just be hard and lonely. I don't know. But I'm not depressed. Just, sorta... resigned. I'll take whatever comes now. I'll make the best of it.

And thank you. I miss you.
