Entry Title: Another Day
As for the time since I last wrote, not too exciting either. In the last month and a half, I'm still working at Jewel, still taking those classes at Oakton, still have no one to hang with in this boring town. I also need to make a dentist appointment. I think I'm at least a month late now, but I don't think my teeth are really suffering. I brush my teeth often enough, and besides, I don't think they really even like the dentist. Of course on the other hand, I did have this canker sore last week, which I've never had before, and it really was very painful....
I'm applying to art schools. Not sure if I will get in any, but if I do, then I'll at least hae options to make a plan for next fall. Not Oakton again, not Jewel again. I believe a person only needs so much punishment before they get another chance. And let me tell you, one day working a shitty dead end job while going to a community college is all the punishment I needed. Of course, I realize that is a terribly mean thing to say considering that for some people, that is the reality of their lives. So I'm just glad I'm not some people.
Anyway, about the art schools. The applications are very frustrating. They are due very very soon, I am still very very behind on the damn portfolios. I think tonight I shall sit down and really work on cranking some drawings out. And for one of the schools, Columbia College (that's the one right here in Chicago) they have everything they need from me -transcripts, essay, application, fee, etc. - except a letter of recommendation. So they said they can't start reviewing the app until I send that in. Who requires a letter of rec? Very frustrating. So now I have to go looking for someone to write one for really no reason at all. Like whatever my future rec writer writes would really change my chances. They are staring at the grades and scores and an essay of my own damn writing! Anyway, that shouldn't take too long to get, and hopefully I'll get an answer soon. It would be nice to be accepted somewhere. The rest still need protfolios. Okay, enough ranting about that.
I forgot to mention, my parents have been on vacation for the past week and are coming back tonight. I'm excited about their arrival. Maybe they will have better success than I in getting my brother put his dishes in the sink or put food away when he's done using it or maybe *gasp* doing a load of laundry. I mean, what is he, retarted????
Oh, parents just got home gotta go!!
