on a lovely monday.

im so glad i dont have to go to school tomorrow. i am so excited for sleeping in! maybe i can get rid of the headache that ive had on and off for two days now...

nobody said it was easy.

nobody said that it would be this hard.

i put this quote on my wall a few days ago, encouragement is a good thing, right?

make my day for me.

sva info book, proof, came in the mail on saturday.

626 pages baby... haha :)

college notes.

p.s.

on vcu- i have heard all sides. some love.some hate.some are moderate. and i have heard that afo is really hard, and weeds out the non-passionate. haha. which i guess is good, but what if im just not passionate enough?

on mica-im just not that into it. i dont know why, but...yeah.

on chicago-i love chicago, the city. and it is such an artistic city as well. and there is such a nice culture there, and the people are so very nice. winters are freezing...but, i like winter.

on looking at colleges far away-its not that im totally not interested in vcu anymore, and its also not that i need to get away. really, i dont care about the adventure or starting over or whatever. i just want to go to the college that is right for me, or more, the city that is right for me. and....i also have to "keep an open mind" to make my parents happy.

heres the mail....

...it never fails ;)

so, im looking into....

cornish-seattle

corcoran- d.c.

school of the art institute of chicago-chicago

art institute of boston-boston

pratt-brooklyn

and, vcu arts, of course....

does anyone know anything about these/know of any other colleges i could look into?

any and all advice is welcome!
