Introduction
Well, it took me long enough, but I finally finished making my blog to my liking. It's been several years since I've used Blogger's coding, so it took me a little while to re-learn old things and pick up on a few new things.
I really shouldn't have made a new blog. I can never keep up with them, and I already have built-in journals on some of the community sites that I visit frequently. But I love things that I can customize, and I like being able to show off my amateur and probably poor web designing skills. I also wanted to have something creative to do with the bit of free time I'm going to have this summer.
As for introductions, I'm pretty lousy at writing them. In fact, I'm pretty lousy at writing in general. That's another reason I wanted to make a new blog; I need some writing practice. It'll probably be more apparent later on.
I'm an art student hoping to transfer to a university in the fall. I'm actually still awaiting a response from my chosen school, but according to their admissions office I should hear from them this week. I hope that I will be accepted because this is the one place I've wanted to attend since my junior year of high school. My grade-point average is flawless and I have been told that my portfolio is very competitive, but I'm still anxious to receive a response to my application.
Unfortunately, I'm also an anime fan, and I'm currently facing the dilemma of either giving up my passion for drawing anime-styled characters or risking my quality and credibility as a serious artist. I'm at least cutting back on the anime, but at the same time I've found that I've gotten out of the habit of drawing anything at all. I'm planning to work on my art now that I have time, though.
Some other things worthy of mention are the fact that I recently graduated from my hometown's community college with an associate's degree, and up until last Saturday I worked as a sales associate in a department store. I quit my job so that I could take a break before I have to start getting ready to transfer in the fall.
Well, I can't think of anything else I should add for now. I guess I'll write tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get my response from VCU, my chosen university. :3
