Change of luck?

I'm certainly a lucky sod this month! After being told on Wednesday that I'd most likely never get into the Computer Design course I applied for, I was sure I had no alternative but to wait until this time next year.

At least that's what I thought.... However, on Friday after school as I was hanging around with a pal I got a call on my mobile. As it turned out someone had called in saying they wanted to drop out of the course, thus meaning I could take their place! Huzzah! So I'm starting up tomorrow, and let me tell you, I'm a nervous wreck! But hey, it's what I wanted right?

I'm gonna be geeking it up in that class, at least on the days we have animation. I hope I don't freeze up like I used to in the social rings. Jeez that sucks. I've also gotten a little money to spend on some new stuff that I'm in desperate need of, such as coats and shirts n'all... I also managed to order myself a new messenger bag, official 24 merchandise too. My God I'm such a geek, but I do love being one it has to be said.

But I haven't just been watching 24, oh no. Been watching KND as usual, as well as catching myself some Pepper Ann episodes. Jeez I really miss that show. I used to watch it all the time when I was small. Gwah, must draw myself some fan art for that show! But for now this will have to suit you all until next time!

Toodle pip!

Interviews.

Well I just had an interview at Stevenson college for my animation course option. As it stands I don't think I will get a spot, not because of my work but because of a faulty computer. There's supposed to be one more computer in the room but apparently the tech people aren't fixing it or whatever. So I'm probably not going to get a place which sucks because it means I have to stay at Boroughmuir.

However, I do have a reserved spot in case someone wants to drop out of the class, so if anyone does I'll be able to get in. They think I'm very young for doing it though, because a few more highers will improve my chances at art colleges... Oh well.

They said if I had applied a little earlier they would have given me a spot, but I do have other options. I can either start college in January instead and have another interview in November/December, or wait another year.

They'll give me a call later on with what's happening, but I must say it doesn't look like I'll be going this year. Sucks to be me.

Return to school...

Okay so today was my first day back, and let me tell you it's only heightened my hatred for that place. Boroughmuir truly is the armpit of education. How to start the problems, apart from the numerous teacher issues....

What they have been calling a "dress code" has now turned into a full blown uniform as I thought it would, but they still insist on it being a dress code rather than a uniform. Come on people, there's no need to dance around the issue. We KNOW it's a uniform, please don't patronise us. I also love how it's their number one concern, that and their grade percentages. It's sickening! An utter disgrace!

But that brings me to a fairly positive point. I have applied to Stevenson College to start an animation and graphic design course. If I get a place there, it means I won't ever have to return to that place and I'll be ever closer to my dream.

However, I am also still awaiting news of my application to GASP!, but I do know if I don't get contacted by this coming Tuesday I know I haven't secured myself an interview. Fingers crossed eh?

I figure I should spam post some art for you guys, I'm feeling generous and I don't think I'll be able to post as often as I'd like in the coming term. So enjoy what I am offering you this evening!

Now I must warn you this is quite a post art wise, I’m clearing out my folder so there’s a LOT of unfinished stuff for ya!
