College and Stuff
Except for my essay screw up, which I fixed(I was supposed to email my prof my essay draft Friday, but FAU's email is foreign to me so I didn't attach it properly; I ended up sending him a blank email. I recognized the problem today and emailed it properly this time. He accepted it, thank goodness!) everything's turning out ok. My Sociology prof, Gina, said she can write me a letter of recommendation to FSU--which is awesome because she was a graduate student there AND she was a prof there for several years! I'm trying to transfer there for the Spring term.
As far as commissions go...I need lunch money to put into my account(I'm so broke right now, most of my funds all go to food). Again, want anything customized(like shoes, bags, clothes, etc) or want me to draw/paint you something, I'm all for it!
I'm just waiting here in the library for my mom to pick me up. My last class ended at 3:30 and she doesn't get out of work 'til 5:30. I bet now my dad regrets not letting me get my license those couple of years ago; he gets so pissed when I need to get to school or leave. He keeps expecting me to have all this work to do, but honestly...compared to my IB and AP classes, this is all cake(mmm cake). My work is all done. I've read ahead. AND I have pretty easy classes to begin with.
Ok, KaidaFaye out!

* Mood: Eager
* Listening to: the keys stick together as i pound on the keyboard
I've been up since 7am, don't ask me why 'cuz i dunno either--it's Saturday DX. A msg to Mo, Cal, and Sandro--dad has my laptop and my phone, so there's no use trying to contact me this weekend; I'm using his computer while mom and dad are out flea-marketing...his keyboard is disgusting...the control key is stuck down from something caught in between the keys and the down arrow key is just stuck...and ther's coffe stains everywhere and ew I'm just gonna stop talking about it.
Anyway, I was in art class yesterday and Kevin and I were going through these books from art colleges. I happened to stumble upon a college I've never heard of--SCAD--Savannah something...ANYWHO I happened to stumble across some photos of people getting their comic on in the section called SEQUENTIAL ARTS. I was like "what?" and actually read the whole section, which most people don't do because they're browsing just to look at pictures or to waste time. I got really excited and started talking to Maria about it and she said "go for it" so I went home and jumped on the computer to "research" (actually, it was around 8 when i finally got on the computer since he took my shite last night right when we got home at 6) what colleges offered it...so far, I've only found SCAD appealing =(
The field of sequential art encompasses graphic novels, comic books, comic strips, children’s books and storyboards for animation and film. Sequential artists combine words and pictures to form entertaining and effective narratives.
That's from the SCAD website.
I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED. I didn't know this existed!! I know I'm gonna major in art, but really? Comics?? What do you guys think? And for those of you in college already--help me! I'm already a junior! >_<

Anime Moment

* Mood: Happy
* Listening to: "Summer Song"-YUI
* Reading: the TUJ brochure
* Eating: pizza and yogurt...Mm...
* Drinking: grape juice
I'm getting over whatever was making me sick-I can eat again!! 'Cept cuz of the sudden weather changes(gotta love Florida), I've been getting nosebleeds =( (it's normal in December because the blood vessels in my nose are weak or something; hereditary). Awkward that I'm getting them in Spring, though. Actually, yesterday I was laying on the floor(was I napping or dozing?) and my nose started bleeding and I couldn't really get up or else I'd get blood all over the laundry I was supposed to be folding, so I just lied there 'til it stopped a bit-but I couldn't help but think to myself "I look like the male lead in an anime after he has the shit beaten out of him or after he sees the female lead's panies XD" cuz it was like a puddle...gross, but kinda cool at the same time(not that it was blood, but that it reminded me of anime)...gosh, I'm such a geek XD That's okay =3
So, a couple of weeks ago I went and requested for a brochure for Temple University-JAPAN CAMPUS. It's an American campus in Tokyo, Japan. The main campus is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I find Japan to be more accepting of creative media, which is what I want to get into(developing cartoons or advertising). This is the first video that got me thinking about it. It's kinda old. Then this one just got my attention. Here's a vintage-looking one that's really spiffy.
If you think about it, these involve both psychology and art(in the vids I links, specifically anime)-and I have a great love for both(maybe Japanese advertising holds a job position for me?) Or game art...game art is definitely a want for me =/. I WAS more interested in child psychiatry, but I can't see my short-temper helping anyone. =(
And...that's about it. I'mma go through my TEMPLE UNIVERSITY JAPAN CAMPUS AIRMAIL/PRINTED MATTER now =3 (so cool!)
