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.

...Wanna know how bad I don't want to be here?

To the point where I'm shaking in misery.

Literally. I feel like a chihuahua right now.

My stomach hurts.

I feel depressed.

I don't want to be here.

Yes I'm glad to see the people.

....

AGH.

OH. MY GOODNESS.

For the longest time I actually FORGOT that I had a blog!

and you know what!

My animation has been done since CHRISTMAS!

Oh dear oh dear I'm sorry!

But here here here watch it 8D

Home For the Holidays

What a creative title, right? Well, currently, I'm sitting in the New Orleans airport waiting for a 3:45 flight back to Dallas. It's been torture, actually. Last night we (the fam + gram and grandpa) had Chinese food for dinner. Apparently it didn't really agree with my stomach and I upchucked at 11:30 ish last night and my stomach still isn't happy with me. All I've had to eat today is 100 calorie snack things, cinnamon toast crunch, a rice crispie treat and a small thing of yogurt. So in other words, no real mealage. Nothing sounds good, not even my favorite food. Argh. So I have 2 more hours to do nothing and browse along on my 'pooter.

I kinda didn't want to leave Connecticut this morning. It had just snowed Sunday night and it was a great surprise Monday morning waking up to mid-shin deep snow, but mom and dad both have to go back to work so alas, back to Texas we go. I must say though, I am excited to get back to Texas, mainly because that's where Christmas is and that's where my new tablet is! I'm getting a wacom intuos4 tablet. I hope. We ordered it from Amazon. I can't wait to put it to good use.

Okay, and now, I love Christmas music, don't get me wrong, but the music they have playing is awful and annoying.

So I'm going to plug in my headphones and suffer through a headache and tummy aches.

Merry Christmas!

Could today get any worse...

A New Do

Welp. I've decided that I would go ahead and chop my hair off early. Lately I've just been lazy and haven't wanted to take the time to blow dry my insanely thick hair. Take 30-45 minutes out of my morning/day/night to straighten it. Deal with the bangs constantly falling in my face. Scrunch it until it's a poofy curled mess. So I've just been throwing it up in a ponytail or a bun for the past 2-3 weeks and I feel like it's bleeding into my daily life.

"Say what!?" you ask? Well, have you ever heard that if you think you look reeeaal good one day you're just in a really good mood? Well I think my thing is that since I'm being lazy with my hair, I'm not feeling as good lookin' as I know I can, and just overall feel lazy and uninspired.

Weird concept, I know. But There are some things people (women/girls in general) just worry about the most. How their face looks. How big their boobs look today. How well they're dressed today. For me, it's how good my hair looks. Why? I have no idea. It just is. Now you may say "How can that be? If hair is the thing you're worried about, why are you so lazy with it?" Well. I have no idea.

So tomorrow around 11am I'm going to go hack it all off at the Family Cuts that's only $7.95 or something. They've always done a great job with my hair. The. 2 times I've gone there. So I'm hoping that this time will be no different. I'm kind of nervous because once you chop you hair off...if you don't like it it's not like you can just go *PUH* and grow it right back.

I honestly wish it were already Friday. I get paid. It'll be the weekend. And I'll have one of 3 art projects done. And I get my hair chopped off! I'm really tired of this semester for some reason. It's gone by fast...and slow at the same time.

I'm ready to go to Connecticut. I really feel like I need to escape Texas for a bit, and let me tell you. I LOVE Texas, but in Texas is school. The pressure of a job. A routine of life. In Connecticut I don't have to worry about an art project that's due when I return next semester (I don't have one. This is just an example). I don't have to wake up at 4:30am MWF to go to work. I don't have to stare at my pantry and wonder what I'm going to eat. It will be a nice release. Except it'll probably be cold. I hate the cold. Now, if there's snow on the ground okay. I can bear it because dude. It's snow! We won't be in CT for as long as I would like because we're staying at a hotel this time. My grandma is still sorta getting over her bone cancer (mentally. The cancer is all gone) and it would be sort of stressful on her if we were staying with her for 5 days.

But enough babble. Time to finish an art project!

IT'S SNOWING IN DECEMBERRRrrr

And in Abilene too!
