9:00 am

At this time, I had finished filling out all my paper work and was on my way back to my room. I swiped my ID card into the reader to get back into the dorm and it blinked red at me. I tried again. Still red. Thankfully a friend was heading out and was able to let me in.

At this time, I was no longer a student at ACU.

Will I miss it? Yes. Terribly. The environment is something like a second home. It's friendly, welcoming, small and cozy, and my greatest friends are there.

But life says I need a degree to be successful. If I'm going to get a degree, I want it to be in something I enjoy.

At ACU I was a 2D major. Meaning, everything not having to do with digital art.

Digital art is my forte.

For this semester I am going to go to Richland Community college and get my core classes done, and maybe take a painting class so I'll be listed as a full time student.

In the fall I will hopefully go to UNT and graduate with a degree in animation. Unless another college catches my fancy.

Am I scared? Yes. When I came to ACU I had an older sister to show me around. At Richland, I won't.

I'll be on my own.

It's 10:00 am.

My dear Lorie, you are already sorely missed. Watching you go was incredibly hard, and my only consolation is that you can now focus on what makes you happy in life as you continue your education. I don't know what I'll do without you and your lively and quirky artistic spirit cheering up the hall. Please don't ever forget that you were a great friend to me here and that I will be thinking of you and praying for you often (and I will continue to read every update on your blog). Sorry my cross hurt you when we hugged, so I'm sending you a harmless virtual hug now. Much love, and God bless!!!
