So lately I've been feeling really artsy. I'm trying my hardest to get into one of the most beautiful art schools and it's hard because money is tight and tuition is no joke. I don't want to choke on loans and drown myself in debt before I'm 20 but at this point, what choice do I have? Right now I'm beefing up all of my assets. Tomorrow I'm going down to the nearest craft store and buying a good sketch book, sit myself down, and just force myself to work. I also have a great photoshoot planned with Emalie. Nothing fancy, but something really fun that I'm going to try and get a few shots out of. Just in case I don't upload them on Monday which I probably will, we're going to go out in the local graveyard dressed in black and all whimsical like. Maybe drive out somewhere else and experiment while we're at it but all in all it should be a lot of fun.
I've just felt extraneously stressed. My mom has been coming down hard on me about college tuition and straight up told me "Unless you find some way to pay for it, I doubt you'll be able to go to the school you want to go to" and my spirits didn't feel crushed, I felt more urged to do it. I've set up a meeting with my councilor about finding different ways to pay off my tuition. I've been staring at different portfolios, looking at all of my work, just feeling, in general, sub par to them. On a better note, I can use my zombie makeup that I do for fun as a piece of work in it. That will get me something. All I know is that I'll be using this as my outlet. I'll be posting just about everyday to keep me motivated and to show my progress. You'll hear from me again soon.
