Good news, everyone!



I'm going back to school in September!

During the last half of 2012, I felt so trapped that I felt like I couldn't breathe. I put walls up so high that I was disassociating from myself just to get by. I wasn't even doing the things I wanted, because, well... what was the point? But then I realized that if I was just going to throw my life away, I might as well throw it away doing things I like.

I went up to the university today and I asked about my former credits: they were still good!

So then I asked if I could register as a student: I already was from before so I didn't have to pay again!

Then I asked about working toward a major: turns out that since I'd completed two years of my Bachelor of Arts, I was due to declare a major! And that's how I'm going to be working toward completing my Bachelor of Arts with a double minor in Digital Media Studies and Visual Art. Will that get me a job? Probably not. But I already have a job that's all right... so I'm going to keep that while I go through school. No more loans to fund this venture!

I'm so excited... I'm going to study art!

I'm putting together a portfolio...

I require examples of this hilarious wordplay.

I've had people suggest that show to me. Particularly because of the french maid, but purely for research. For real real.

And congrats on going back to school!

That is definitely some hilarious wordplay.

I actually have to check it out sooner. A close friend has been bugging me to, and I have to do as she says.
