*takes breath*
Not too long ago, I was working on a portfolio to get into The Art Institute. I needed ten drawings to present to them. 3 Still lifes, 3 portraits, 3 landscapes, and one more drawing of my choice that fits in the three subjects. I had to finish three on the day before it was due, because I had yet to finish the portfolio! So I actually convinced my parents to let my skip school to finish my portfolio. I still dont really know how I did it. Luckily, I finished all the drawings and was ready to go up to the art institute and turn in my first portfolio. But wait! Here's the good part! I call my recruiter to ask her if she would be there so I could turn it in. Here is what she said,
"Oh, thats great! You can just bring that up on tuesday! Im looking forward to seeing them!"
"What?! I thought they were due tommorow!" Oh, that is the official date, yes, but Im not in this weekend. I already talked to the Art administrator, so dont worry."
I kept kicking myself after that. I had a test that day at school, and now I had to make it up after school, wasting my precious free time for nothing. Sad story, i know.
Once I did get the portfolio in, I had to wait about a week and a half before my parents found out about the results. I was exited to hear that I was accepted and would be starting in August. I will be majoring in Media Arts and Animation, studying to get my Bacholers degree. Hopefully, I will be able to use the knowledge I learn there and work with creating anime or games of the sort. I really just want a job where I can do nothing but draw.
Now...for the bad new. on the night of April 6th, My grandfather died of a heart attack. It was a tradgedy for the whole family. The funeral was held on the 10th of april, and I was chosen to be one of the paul-barrers, along with my two younger brothers. It was hard(emotionaly) carrying my grandfather to his resting place. I was really amazed by how many people showed up to the funeral, and how there were so many flowers that were sent there. The visitation room for the night before had to be extended to fit all the flowers, then move some of them out into the hallway. I couldnt count the amount of people that were there. Some poeple had to stand up because there were no seats left. I new him as my grandfather, but he was truly an amazing man. There wasnt one bad thing that people could say about him. he was a hard worker and truly someone anyone could look up to. In his grave, the words "Let the work I have done show who I am" engraved on his casket. Before the feuneral began, I gave a letter to him, and along with that, a drawing that I have been working on for a long time, and put off for too long. He was waiting patienly for me to finish it, and I never did. So I gave him the drawing, without even scanning it, copying it, or anything of the sort. The only image of it that remains is in my own thoughts, and in his grave. I regret never finishing it, and I wouldnt finish it for anyone else.
So that is what has been going on. Thats is all for this post, so I will speak to you all later. Thanks for reading.
