Starting Art School!!!!

Yessir, I'm a college gal now. Its hard to express my excitement and happiness about this, but I felt since yal are my brony family, I'd share it with you!!

Just today I dropped by there to pick up my schedule and financial plan. Its just now becoming real for me; for so long, I've been afraid of my high school throwing some other hoop out there for me to jump through, or one more hurdle to hold me back. But when I arrived, they had my diploma ready. It is real; I've actually made it through the dark medieval era of high school and into the beginning of my lifelong career and passion. I've worked ridiculously long and hard to get to this point in my life. All on my own, without the help or assistance of my parents or anybody, I've gotten a house on my own, and into school to do what I love.

I'm utterly anticipating my classes; I have orientation on the 3rd, and my first classes start the 6th. I'm starting Animation Language and Observational Drawing.... I just know I'm going to blow the college's minds. I will revel in my natural habitat, learning and growing steadily. I'll take every challenge with a sort of greed to overcome, every lesson as another opportunity to refine my skills.

I'll draw so many pwnies xD

I'm not going just for the degree, I'm going for the resources. I get complete access to entire computer labs with all the programs and tools I could possibly need, not to mention being allowed to borrow tablets and other mediums to bring home and use to my pleasure. I'll finally bring the most intense projects in my head to life, using the knowledge and tools at my fingertips. In fact, I have a giant undertaking in way, that I'm keeping secret until I reach a certain point. After all, it will only blossom once I have the resources in my reach, and I still have a few weeks for that. I am overfilled with inspiration and energy, and these weeks can't go fast enough.

First thing first, I'm going to pack up all my old high school art, and put it away; sending it to my mom's. That way I am unburdened by my younger, immature ideas and skills, and free to grow out in any which way. I have held several themes solidly through my works, but I am willing to shed those old ideas in return for new and invigorating muses in my future. After all, nothing will be outside of my reach. I can create anything in the world I could possibly what, wherein lies my joy in making art.

Forgive me for ranting a bit.... This is the fruition of everything I've shed my sweat, blood, and tears for, and I can't contain my happiness about it.
