Oh crap, I almost forgot about this...
...anyways, I am infact alive. As the title states above, I am now a 2nd term Illustration student falling on Week 6 out of Week 14....and I'm feeling the heat already...
I should post up all the new Art Center work I've done to see if I improved! (if at all!!!)
...now, back to Modernism homework....:S....(I'll type up a juicy post sometime soon that'll sum up my overall Art Center experience)...:D

Sheer Boredom
It's been nearly a week since I moved to Pasadena.
I'll be honest with you, as an 18 year old not knowing pretty much anyone here, being deprived of a college life, and with about 2 weeks or so before school begins, it's ridiculously BORING. All I do is sleep, play vidoegames and (rarely) eat.
Part of me was like, 'Augh, was this really the right decision?'. Sure, I never really cared too much about a typical college life, but it would've been nice to have one regardless. I'm hoping that this small sacrifice will be made up for when class actually begins.
:S
I feel like going back to sleep right now actually....

hot damn...
I leave for Pasadena tomorrow. 6~7 hours of driving from San Jose to Pasadena, w00t!!
I've been worrying a bit, stressed over loans, parking permits, etc etc etc. Damn, I'm just waiting for school to begin!!!
A GOOD part of me wishes that I applied to Parsons or RISD or jus went to a San Francisco art school. AT LEAST a place with dorms and a decent college life. But really, all this worrying gets nowhere. I'm obligated to move down, I'm obligated to my horrendous student loans, I'm obligated to attend.
I AM gonna miss a lot of my friends, it's funny how I (at the time) was ready to leave them and pursue my dream. Now I wish that I had just a little bit more time with them. It's gonna be a lot harder to make new friends, especially in an environment dominated by older people.
...I hope all this stress pays off. I'm ready to open a can of whoop-ass and fury. It's been fun, I'm ready to begin my 'next' life as an "Art Student"...
Wish me luck! I leave saturday morning, bright and early....(hopefully)....

The Fatigue
So I'm heading off to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena on the 18th.
Fatigue? - Yes
Worried? - Yes
Tired of anticipation? - Yes
Stressed? - Yes
Excited? - Yes
Tired of other people telling you the school sucks? - Yes
...seriously.
For the past month or so, I've been having second thoughts about going to Art Center. Apparently, the quality of the school has been going down hill. They accept more 'high school' students, which is apparently 'bad'. Part of me wonders, was I accepted for my level of skill? Or was I accepted because I happen to be OK at what I do and I just so happen to be a high school student?
I'm pretty sick of tired of hearing everyone's negative insight. I understand that Art Center students are bitter - infact, I bet I will become like them. However, part of me just wants to give up. I already withdrew nearly $40,000 in private student loans just for my first year. At OTIS, another art school I considered, I believe I'd only need about $5,000~$10,000 in private student loans. At SF Academy of Art, I could at least pull a double major AND be in one of my favorite places on the planet. The odds are against me.
...But still, my path is already laid out before me. I have a place in Pasadena, I have my loans, I have my skill - can determination really see everything through to the end?
I hate everything right now.
But regardless, I still intend on going to Art Center, even with all this doubt I have. I'm sick of disappointment. I want to see this through to the end...
The odds are against me, but still...
...you gotta let me dream, even if it's just once

inspiration
Tetsuya Nomura (Concept Artist - Final Fantasy)
- Why?: He's inspired my overall style of art, his style is very sleek and beautiful, but at the same time modest.
