First off, I had a meeting with my counselors and mother yesterday. It was about my future and what i could do. The Big thing about the meeting was that I am hired to work on the design of a newsletter for the Jewish Community Center (JCC).

..Well technically, i wasn't "hired". In actuality, It's basically vocational training. You see, I went to this "family service" hoopla because I really screwed up during my high school years and now they want me to have "services" or some shit. They interviewed me, asking me about my likes and dislikes, what i like to do, my strengths and weaknesses etc. Then i left.

Even though this isn't technically a job, I think it's a pretty good start toward one! By September, I'll hopefully be able to get myself a job, so i can finally at long last earn money for the things i want to get! It starts next Tuesday and I'm pretty excited. :D

second things second. I've finally decided on my preliminary college course list. they go as follows:

ART-121: Basic Drawing I
ART-122: Basic Drawing II
ART-131: Painting I
ART-134: Life Drawing
ART-135: Life Drawing II
ART-136: Watercolor
ART-160: Two Dimensional Design
ART-165: Color: Theory and Practice
CGR-111: Computer Graphics Design I
CGR-112: Computer Graphics Design II
CGR-115: Digital Storytelling
CGR-213: Computer Graphics Design III
CGR-241: Computer Animation I
CGR-242: Computer Animation II
CGR-243: Computer Animation III
CGR-244: Special Effects
CGR-266: Comic Book Design
ENG-221: Creative Writing

Now mind you, these are only courses I want to take. It (of course) doesn't include required courses and prerequisites. As you can see, I want to take a lot of artsy-fartsy and computer classes.

This is a pretty exciting time in my life, and I hope to make the best of it! :D

First of all Happy New Year, guys! I hope you had a safe one.

Christmas this year was great. I got all the stuff I wanted and then some. My brothers were happy with the stuff "Santa Clause" got them as well. I also got to visit my relatives on my father's side of the family, which is rare.

|For Christmas I got|
*A 12 Pack of Copic Markers
*Two Packs of Bristol board
*Street Fighter IV
*Pigma Micron Pens
*A USB flash drive
*New Super Mario Bros. Wii
and
*The Dragon Ball Z Season 1 DVD box set

It would of been nice if i'd also gotten A (LEGIT) copy of Adobe's Production Premium (Student discount, of course), but I Can wait until my birthday...

anyway, on to the next subject

I'm now in the second half of my senior year of High School. I have a lot to think about, because august will begin my first year of college. For College, I'm first going to a local community College known as Camden County College (CCC). After Finishing two years there, I might transfer to a four year school.

Why am i doing this, you ask? Well, it simple: When I in CCC, I'll take the Transfer courses in Art to learn basic techniques in drawing, composition, Painting, perspective, and any other thing I need to know. I will also try to take any graphic design, Computer graphics, General Computer Operation, and Writing classes to tweak my skills as a creative person. After I've graduated, I've learned enough skills, and when i think I'm good enough, I'll send my portfolio to an art college near me (like The University of the Arts in Philadelphia.) So basically I'm using community college as a place to increase my skills, even if by a small margin, enough to be accepted into an art college with animation courses.

Anyway I'll miss my bus see ya <3

I'm writing a post for the sake of writing a post <3

Anyway, I've been uploading a lot of crappy photoshop shit on my dA and calling it "art". This is because I'm teaching myself how to use the program. I have no idea why I busted my ass by uploading it. I might delete them.

Speaking of "art", I've continued to draw from what I see and it has been progressing fairly well. I've actually learned a bit from doing that. I'm still FAR from any other artist on deviantART, or even this site, but one day, I hope to reach that level... :)

My Job hunting is also going pretty well. unfortunately, i'm a little too late for the holiday rush, so i probably can't work at a Best Buy. I'll have to apply to a food service store or restaurant. I really want to save up enough money for a Mac Desktop computer, or maybe some Copic Markers.

And that's about it for this entry. toodaloo!~

PS, I'm also thinking about making a (better than the last one) flash movie for you guys. hold on to you seats!
