Plans gone wrong.

As always when I plan something it doesn't turn out like it's supposed to... This time it is not in my favour, but you know life goes on.
I'm just a bit miffed that my birthday got wiped off the map because of my brother's birthday. I know it's his 18th and it's very special, but why does that mean I can't have one little party? I haven't had a party since I was 7, jeez. Although I'm happy that he gets a special dinner to celebrate his 18th, he's going out with his friends this weekend too so I'm sure he'll have a blast! I just hope he doesn't get drunk...Yikes.
I've also managed to pick up two more job applications. I'll fill 'em out and hopefully have them sent back within the next two days or so... Hope I actually get hired, though I doubt I will. No one wants to hire a 16 year old with no experience. All the jobs available right now are Management ones anyway, a full time job that I can't work for! Ah well. Hope you're all doing better than I am, I have to say I'm feeling quite down in the dumps.

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!
