:star: Welcome to my journal! :star:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah I was so sick of that other journal, it needed to come DOOOOOWN... also I think I srsly need to make a new skin soon I'm so tired of this one. :P

So basically I've hardly done any art and it's killing me. I've been dealing with some medical stuff (nothing really to worry about, I'm perfectly healthy actually) that has been impacting my mood a.k.a. I had been in like permanant PMS mode, if you can imagine that doesn't make for a very happy person.

So I finally got all that smoothed out and pretty much fixed a couple of months ago and have been feeling a lot better. Still though I felt kind of stuck...

Anyway what I figured out is that I want to go back to school. Dunno what I'm going to major in yet (don't panic!)--- Art is still totally my life and what I want to do with myself but you don't go to college to get a work permit so I'm allowing myself the leeway to just start without a plan, because there's really nothing for me to lose. I suppose there's the off chance that I quit again and have a whole bunch of pointless debt to deal with, but I'm having faith in myself. This time it's my decision, this time the option is sitting right in front of me and I am compelled in such a way that there really is no question.

Logistically I probably won't start till Spring. I still need to get a hold of some sort of proof of immunization and I don't know if the copy of my transcript I have is what they need; I'mma set up an appointment with the admissions counselor so get all that ironed out. And then... it's just a matter of time. :)

I'm a little stressed out with lots of little things, shipping a painting here, lost order in the mail there, lots of phone calls to make... but I guess that's normal stuff.

Congrats on the decision to go back to school! :glomp:

I wish I could, but the money just isn't there for us right now... As of today I'm supporting 6 people on a measly disability income... it's actually not even enough to pay our bills... but hopefully soon we'll have the back-taxes squared away and then I can legitimately start to the real work of reinventing my own life. :D

Weeeellll I certainly don't have the money either, but I do have it easy in a way, I only have myself to worry about at least. But still the only way I can go is with someone else's money, whether it's a loan or financial aid or whatever. I've been cautioned against loans but I mean how else is it possible if you start from nothing? Or even worse if you start already in the hole? For me it's worth it to go back to school even if I have to pay for it later. But anyway. Good luck with your stuff, I can't even imagine trying to support other people I can barely take care of myself!

Thanks Jordan! :D

You're young though, too... you'll get there! :D At your age is really the best time to be going through these kinds of big changes. It gets harder as you get older.

Omg, I've missed you soooo much, you have no idea.

I think you would enjoy Literature, Art History, and/or Philosophy in college (if you haven't taken them already). Whatever you decide, I hope you have fun!

Quick question: are you still going to do that piece for the auction my clinic is having? It's okay if you've changed your mind, I just need to know, so I can edit my list.

Love you, babe!

It's okay - they keep pushing the auction date back, so I wouldn't have been able to give you a date anyway. Have I mentioned that I miss you? :huggle:
