Dogman and the King of Snake

I don't update my journal enough. :3
School has been a bitch. Well, the people that run it. About 2 weeks ago, I march up into the admission office, ask to speak to the head of the school and they told me I wasn't able to (she was busy). So, other deans asked me if they could help, and I told them no. See, I thought I had been lied to, when I hadn't been.
FLASHBACK! When I started school, I went there to be a Graphic Arts major. They said they didn't offer that class because the graduates there weren't getting hired, so I went into Computer Science. Whoo, I liked it, but it wasn't my calling. Then, I began to notice G.A. students. New people being introduced, people talking about them. I was pissed. I was told I couldn't enter that program, but there people are, IN IT. So I decided, "Though I know I can't make as much money in an art job as a computer job, I'll be a thousand times more happier. I just want enough to support myself. I want to be an artist." (Actually, I want to be an art director or animation director.)
SOBACKTOMYSTORY: When school was over, I ask again, and I speak to this once secretary chick who's always helped me with whatever. She explained to me what was going on, that they DID offer Graphic Arts. They started it back up again. Then the dean of IT comes up and explains to me that I can't be sucessful in that field. Over, and over, and over again. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that from him since I started at the college. (However, I know this isn't true!) In the middle of his sentence, I look back at the secretary and she asks me if I'm ok. I say no, start crying and just walk out. I decided that if he (the dean) isn't going to put me in G.A., I'm going to a different school.
So the next day, I go to school. This was the ONLY day in my entire life I've NEVER wanted to go to college. I go in, throw my shit down in my chair and go to get a soda pop. While I'm doing that, this other admission councelor comes up to me and asks me when I want to be put in G.A. I wanted to hug her. XD She explained to me why I wasn't able to start G.A. when I came here. It wasn't because their graduates weren't finding jobs, they were having issues with the online portions of it.
So, now I'm in G.A. :D I'll be graduating in exactly a year. Once I gradumuhcate, Imma get an awesome job somewhere, pay off my loan and go back for my Bachelors degree. Maybe in animation, maybe something else art related. I really do wanna be an animation director, though. I wanna be like Miyazaki. :3 He'smyhero. Also, I'm looking for an art job now. I've applied to about 13 different classified ads looking for a comic book colorist or inker. NO REPLIES YET. GAH. So if anyone's looking for an artist and can pay me $15 a page, NOTE ME. D:<
So, pardon me while I embrace my artistic geneious that I've been bottling up for 6 months.
OH, ONE MORE THING: While I was jumping on the trampoline with my sister last night, she fell over. This made me laugh very hard. Then I tripped over her. Then my ankle went CRACK! Now it's all sprained and shit. I don't have an ankle anymore, I have a cankle! I ain't never been in so much pain! IHATEIT. AHH BODATO FOOT!

Thank you for the tip! :3
Well, good luck on your job hunt. Starving artist isn't just a figure of speech, sadly : /
Thanks! And I know. It sucks! D:<
And if you wrap your ankle, make sure you wrap it up the leg. Start with your foot, then go up. Toward the heart. You want to promote better circulation to your ankle, not strangle it. <3
Woulda been funny if I typoed that "CHAFFING!"
Ewww! XD
And okay, I shall wrap my foot up as so. :3
....
Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. Faster, better, stronger. She'll be the first six million dollar artist!
Glad you were able to get into the course of your one true luv like that. Very odd they were so determined to keep you out. I mean, even if it doesn't turn out to be what you reeeeeally wished, it's only one year. Worst case scenario, we'll steal a time machine, travel back, and mug you before you get to the admissions door.
I don't know why they wanted me to stay where I was. I think it's cuz of tuition. I mean, it was cut in half... so.. I guess that's a buncha money they're loosing. Not like it matters. XD
:)
Aaaah, good point on the money. Well, tpttthh to them. You're in the program you wanted!
