Busy Busy Busy - BIG News!
4 years ago
Hey guys!
Again, sorry I haven't been all that regular here on FA, but I *do* have some big news!
I'm going back to school! =D
It's both exciting and anxiety-ridden for me, because I haven't been to college since 1996, and this is also the first time going to college (or any kind of schooling) here in the States. It feels very different, especially with a lot of things being done online and such, which wasn't the case when I went to college the first time around - heck, I barely even really had much experience with Windows 95 back in those days! LOL!
In any case, I'm going to be taking art in college. My goals are to get a certificate in Studio Art, and then go for my Associate Degree in Design and Media Studies.
For the first semester, I'm trying it out as a part time student, so I can get a taste of modern college life, and how it's going to be like and such. If things go well, I'll do the 2nd semester as a full time student. Or, maybe I'll continue as a part time one? Who knows. I'll see once I get there, though. :)
Since I'm only a part-time student this coming Spring semester, I just have two classes lined up, one of them being Studio art. So, yeah, it took me nearly 25 years to realize what I *really* wanted to go to college for. I'm still into art, and I do have big plans with my art....but those plans mean that I need to get better, and to learn things that I never learned before - anatomy, portraits, various art mediums, perspective...just to name a few. The other course, I'm still not exactly certain what it is...but from what my understanding is, I think it's going to be a basic "how well do you read/write" essays kind of class, and it's mandatory for a student's first semester so...yeah.
So, it's safe to say I'm not going to be doing furry art any time soon, nor am I taking commissions. I honestly have no idea just how busy I'm going to be with this...but this is a good thing :) I feel like I'm re-inventing myself :) And, it goes to show, you're never too old, nor is it too late, to go back to school!
Wish me luck, guys...I feel like I'm going to need it! XD

I just went back to school in 2019 and finished in August of 2021 with certificates in Graphic Design and Web Design. It's tough going back to school later in life, but I know you can do it.
(It's been almost 25 years since I last graduated college,)
