Yes, she is. This past year has been a whirlwind. I went from investing time and money into applying to law school and then in the last leg of the process I realized it wasn't for me. At least not at the moment. Then, I started taking web design classes at a community college. This has gone well but I just don't think I'm the type of person to have a 'grown up' job. I can't follow the typical path, never have. Plus, I dream of a life of mobility, traveling the country with a pack of stencils and a load of spray paint. I have decided it's time to pursue my MFA. I'm doing it. Against all common since and most likely my parents blessing.
I see these signs a lot. Mostly when I'm contemplating my goals and aspirations. When I see them I think, "Thank goddess it's not a 'one way' sign" but really I don't like the idea of any limitations. What if I want to go a different way? Like straight into that flowing field of grass? If I had to chose between this sign or a "one way" sign I would take this but it's still food for thought. Anyway, I deviate. I have narrowed the schools down to five. I WILL apply to all of them. Here they are in order of preference:1.) SCAD
2.) KU
3.) UNM
4.) AAU
5.) SFSU
This fall/winter there will be road trips to as many of these schools as possible. If you're up for it, come along. Partake in the next major decision I make in my life!
Hey!!! I am so glad that you are wanting to continue your education! If I am going to be in school forever I think you should too :) Really... I live 6 or so hours from UNM so you could road trip here and the we can road trip there! I love, love, love Georgia and would love to visit the school with you! In fact I would love to continue my education (whatever that maybe) somewhere there... not Savannah, but somewhere close!! KU that one cracks me up!!! I just can picture you standing in the corn and sunflower fields!! hahahahahaha!!! I support you in whatever and where ever you decide!!

Thanks girlie!I'm always confident that no bizarre my ideas you're always there to support! The Savannah campus doesn't offer an MFA in printmaking so I applied to Atlanta. Which should be just as bitchin'!
ReplyDeleteI applied to SCAD and NMU today! I have completed the application, paid the fee...it's on to the hard part. Transcripts, letters of recommendations, resume, statement of intent and portfolio!!!! So much to do! I'll need all the luck I can get! Love you! I will let you know when I decide to start trekking the countryside!
Exciting!!! And Atlanta is where I would want to be too!! Maybe we will end up going graduate school together! ;) Let me know if there is anything I can do to help!! Love you!
