For those of you who saw my last journal entry, which was basically moping about my sorry excuse for art and not getting into Ringling (who has only a 10-15% acceptance rate for computer animations....)

Someone up there LOVES ME!

I got accepted!!!!! squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Before today, I had basically given up all hopes on going to Ringling and focused my attention on University of the Arts and Japan instead; asgadfgadf- I returned home to find a FedEx package for me today on the table, from Ringling. I nearly died of a heart attack when all the application forms dropped out- I didnt even see the acceptance letter yet! Just the additional application forms!! Telling myself not to get my hopes up, I searched through the mess on the floor for the black envelope....I went to heaven for a moment.

Squeaaaaaaaaal!

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! even if I am currently failing maths and have my mock exams in a week (and I havent even started studying!! )

<w<

Thanks a lot to the people who supported me through the waiting process; I was a total dump moper during that time~ I really appreciate yet it =D you guys know who you are <3

....now my only problem is to decide whether to pursue Ringling, my dream college, or go to Japan and study there, my dream country...ahahaha OTL

for during the wait period, I have begun applications to study in Japan and enroll in their language school and animations university lool

But I guess thats a story for another time- I have to study for exams now x.x

*hops off*

Congrats! I actually applied to Ringling for game art and design, and I haven't gotten my letter yet so I was looking around at other people journals ^^;

D: was just wondering...what was the result of your application? =0

(I didnt see this comment and was clearing out my inbox today and then came across it x.x so sorry about that!)

Did you get in? =0

Their game art and design course is of the same standards as their computer animations, isnt it? Will be pretty awesome if you got in too =D

I got accepted into ringling but not for game art and animation =/

I learned now that my art teacher in highschool wasn't teaching the right things and kind of skrewed a lot of us over. She taught by using pictures and barely anything from life. So I'm going to community college to build my portfolio and learn what I need to learn. I will apply again next year as a first year student. Already I can tell that I'm improving with everything, now that I draw from life when I can. So yeah, hope it all works out.

=0 I see >.< I did hear from them that in the chance I do not get accepted into my selected major, there is a chance that'll put me into another course x.x

And my teacher never helped =0 being in the IB programme (...well, I didnt even take their art programme till my last year of high school, which is this year) they focus a lot on independence and the teacher was literally just there to grade us and nothing more x.x everything I did on my own independently, and drawing from life certainly helped. Pictures are fine too, but they are more for touch-ups and detail- the basic shape should come from life, since thats what gives it the more realistic/organic form, imo XD thats how I worked anyways haha

I hope I will see you in Ringling one day haha XD I deferred my admission and will be going to Japan for a gap year first haha we'll probably enroll again at the same time XD :rofl:

Yeah, that's what happened to me. but at least it shows that I can actually draw :XD:

That's exactly how my teacher is! She just sits on her computer all day and give us projects that wouldn't help once so ever in the long run. I know that pictures are good for those fine tuning but she make us only work from pictures. Right now I've been drawing from life a lot more, too bad I only started doing it... four months ago, I think...

Really! Japan is awesome, I went there for a week with family. We went to Osaka. And that would so cool if we both went next year, I would actually know some on going there :D:D

But, yea... what a tough choice to have to make. Dream career or Dream country... Ah MAAN!!

(If you pick Dream Country, I'll be bugging you for lots of pictures and sending you money to buy things for me, you know. :giggle:)
