Dudes- Sometimes home is not exciting and even sometimes not fun. Its mostly fun. The most fun tho, is when people send me things in the mail or through their family members who live close to me! Gah! Christmas presents! Thanks so much guys! <3 i love all yous

I sometimes take for granted just how amazingly lucky I am to know such fantastic people. People who are open and accepting of who I am and the life I lead, who come from a diverse range of backgrounds and lifestyles.

Thank you to everyone for being there for me whenever I needed it, and for being understanding and supportive as I discovered myself. I hope that the people in your lives are just as amazing, and I want you all to know that I will always be there for you as well.

Happy Holidays

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. PLEASE LET DISNEY CONTINUE TO CREATE 2D MASTERPIECES FOREVER AND EVER. THANK YOU :D

Ahem.

So it's been a few months since I last posted, hahaaaa. And as I sit here trying to think of something meaningful to write I realize why that is! Because my life is boring XD

But I will write anyways! My classes for this semester finished on Wednesday. I'm currently a part time student at the University of Calgary, SAIT and ACAD. In total I was only taking three courses which was weird! One of the classes was studio drawing which I did surprisingly well in. I was always nervous about taking actual art courses as I've never had that much confidence in my drawing. I recognize that I'm not horrible but I never considered my skill strong enough to hold up in an art college. It's always just been a pasttime for me. But with application deadlines looming, I think I will apply to ACAD as a fulltime student in case I'm not accepted, once again, into the Masters of Architecture program.

On one hand if I decide to go to ACAD and pursue illustration or advertising I will be pissed at myself for wasting four years and countless monies on a degree I will not be using but on the other hand....the idea that I could work in a purely artistic field has always been a dream of mine. I just never thought it would be possible. Also, I realize that if I DO go into illustration or advertising my psychology degree will be a good asset. Oh Psychology, you sassy multidisciplinary minx ;D

Next semester I may be taking three to five courses as a part time student. Two of the courses would be useless to my future goals...they're just interesting. Like Japanese Literature! Hells yeah! But with the whole costing money thing...I may just have to cut it out ):

I have also revived my deviantart account in an ongoing effort to be more creative. The year I was working at Flint I hardly drew more than a handful of sketches. I can't let that happen again! D:<

So in general I have been feeling pretty aimless in my part-time status. Next semester I will probably be working harder to get a parttime job as the finacial situation gets increasingly depressing XD But I am excited to get home for Christmas to see the parental units. Go for a drive to see the Christmas lights, watch the specials on TV, listen to my brother and dad bicker...

Ah, there's nothing like family traditions!
