Catch-22
By Joseph Heller

ch-ch-ch-changes

Well, it's official.  I'm going to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia.

Rejoice.

I'm going to be majoring in Computer Animation and minoring in ...something.  That something is either... visual effects, performing arts, or ...Iunno what else.  But it should be fun.

I'm going to miss a lot of people here.  I'm going to be halfway across the country from them all.  It's funny though because I only go to school in 2 month sessions so I'll have a lot of time off which is nice.  Then again, I'll be right on the beach so ...it's kind of a vacation spot on it's own.

Come visit me down there on your breaks people.  It truly is a beautiful town.  It's in the historic district so all of the buildings are really cool.

Do it.



Ya know, despite everyone always hating high school and dying to get out senior year (and it's not like I don't) it's funny.  It's like, now that we finally REALLY have the hang of it all.  We really got it down.  We get yanked away to college.  It some ways I know I want to get away, far away, from all of this.  But in others it's ...well I wish I could stay for just one more year or something.  I feel like I have missed out on so much time with so many people.

And on top of that, I just don't want to grow up just yet.  It feels like I'm already being trapped into my future.  In high school, it was just a big mosh of different people with pretty much no association whatsoever so it was really interesting and fun.  You never really knew who you could meet or have in class or see at a weekend event.  And I'm not saying college isn't, it just feels like the people that I am going to meet will be...I don't know, like stereotypically into what I'm going into.  Weird sentence I know.  What I'm saying is, yes I like animation and computers, but it's not everything that I like.  99% of my friends don't know a thing about computer animation but that's just it, they are my friends.  I enjoy them.  And I'm afraid that the people I will meet will only be interested in that and ...it's weird.  Because I don't want that.  I have other interests outside of that.  That's why I liked high school.

Then again, a 7 week Christmas break is kind of nice isn't it?  So it'll be nice to have some leisure time.  I might try and so some traveling.

I've decided to pick up some instruments and start to play.  (Well not the piano because that's just ridiculous)  I want to try and expand my horizons.  Haha.  hooray.

That's all for now I guess.

I mean there's other stuff that's kind of bumming me out.  Relationships.
ha.  but isn't that the way it always is?

I guess I'm not as good of a person as I once thought myself to be.  Or hoped to be... shoot.

Ya know, in a strictly ironical sense, I think that science proves there is a God.  Everything from the way things work in Physics, to all of the chemical reactions and what not involved with Chemistry, to the...pure beauty of the human mind in its complexity.... it's daunting.  There is such an endless amount of information to learn about all of those things and how beautifully it all fits in with each other.  It's amazing really.

well I think NOW I'm done.  (except real quick, I did get a $15,000 scholarship to SCAD which is awesome)

So farewell for now. 

"That's some catch..."

little more time...

ya know all today I wanted to go outside and fly a kite.

unfortunately for me...I had a ton of homework and studying to do.

Humans are stupid.

This is an odd post because I'm only dropping in and writing down certain thoughts.  But there were lots of thoughts in between those lines.

how odd.

I think my imagination is really kicking in lately though.

That's jabberwocky isn't it?

But running three miles in the city on a seemingly never ending masochistic road is kinda stambickin'.  Because despite not really knowing my location, it was beautiful.  I need to get lost more often.

Peculiar traveling suggestions are dancing lessons from God.  Don't turn them down.

dinero in el bedo? si senor

so you know those times when you put on your freshly washed clothes in the morning.  feeling ok.  good day ahead.

then in 3rd block you reach in your back pocket and....whaaaat?!  what is this? a bill?  $20?!?! YESSS!!

now you are all excited despite the fact that it was your money in the first place so technically...no financial gain.  well this tops it.


well tonight...I'm putting my freshly washed sheets on my bed.  but the skirt part of the bed is messed up so i lift up the bed to fix and ...hm...a squished wallet.  well i finished making the bed then take a lot inside....

$10 gift certificate to blockbuster. YESSSS!!!  free money.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!

I open up the actual wallet....hey there's a 20...and another...and ANOTHER!!!  well...needless to say it was $99 in cash.  PAY DAY BABY!!! so tonight I just made $109.  man.

beat THAT!!

(i just hope the gift certificate is still good)





gas is still too expensive.

Animal House?

So just as a sort of statement of my well being.... I've been accepted to both Savannah College of Art and Design  which is located in Savannah, Georgia and I've also been accepted to Columbia College - Chicago which is located in...well Chicago.

  Now...just to decide where to go.  I've gotten about...15 thousand dollars in scholarships from SCAD already but it was the more expensive of the schools.  With that money it just about makes them even.  But see Chicago is a heck of a lot closer while still being out of state and a COMPLETELY new experience which should be amazing.  But then again it doesn't have any sort of sports which is a bummer.  Eh....plus if I go to Columbia I can only pick one major (either Theater or Computer Animation....yes, I know.  very promising careers with limited risk right?)  But it's really hard to choose just one.  auuurrgghhaa. Columbia's got some cool dorms though, they are kinda like apartments/suites.  I dunno......

But nonetheless, I'm very happy I have been accepted to these amazing schools.  But I've still got a lot of work ahead of me.
