Wow. I haven't updated since February. This is a problem, methinks.
Good thing :iconxcelestex: tagged me or I probably would've gone a few more months without a word. e_e;

So, for those of you who don’t know, I just started my junior year of college and so far it’s going fairly smoothly. My classes are Art History, Creative Writing, Figure drawing, and Speech and as it stands none of them look like they’re going to be too terribly difficult.

The only bump in the road is that I still do not have a major and this is the last semester that I can fill up my schedule with university core because I’ve done it all (with the exception of math). Oh sure I could go ahead and declare art education just for the heck of it, but I don’t want to get stuck in a teaching job and never leave (which I think I might be prone to doing).I really want to try to do an illustration degree but I cannot get one where I am now and most places where I can get the degree, the tuition triples. If not illustration then perhaps a zoology degree, but I’m faced with the same dilemma of not knowing where to go. So. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m wiiiiide open.

Lets see, what else happened between now and February? I worked at the daycare again over the summer. It was nuts and full of drama—from the adults and the kids, amusingly enough. I’m currently working at a child care place inside of a gym (augh, get me out of child care someone, please!!! e_e). It’s really not that bad. The shifts are about three/four hours long and I usually only work one shift a day—so obviously I’m not making much. It is however very useful for studying because some days only one or two kids will show up, or I’ll be sitting there by myself for an hour or more. So pretty much the only time I get any reading for school done is at my job, ironically.

Other than that, um….not much goin’ on. I haven’t had loads of time to draw for fun lately and I’m really missing it. Still behind on my deviation watch thing as always (around 3,300 atm) , uhhhh………just ate a sandwich? I dunno. My life is insanely dull guys, this is why I never update journals—nothing to say! x)

And now....onto the tag!

Rules:
1-post these rules
2-each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3-tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4-at the end of the post 4 more persons are tagged and named
5-go to their page and leave a comment telling them they’ve been ‘tagged’


My random facts(terribly uninteresting, unfortunately):

1) I habitually print out DA pictures with the intent to decorate my wall with them and they have been accumulating in a drawer for years. :|
2) I have a not so secret obsession with piccolo centaurs. x)
3) I have four jars of peanut butter in my pantry and no idea what to do with them
4) I remember SWAT KATS! T-bone and Razor forever!
5) Apparently I terrified and/or injured all of my oldest friends when we first met. :fear:
6) I am determined to retire to a horse ranch in Wyoming (or someplace that actually gets snow)
7) I recently made four batches of cookies and ate them all within three days. @_@ *oink*
8) I have a cloud fetish. :innocent:

In the hopes that it might make a them upload more I victimize--I mean tag:
:iconryutsume: :icondmg: :iconaeran: :iconangeliceva042:

P.S. If you read this entire journal you deserve a cookie and a parade in your honor. :cookie: :w00t: :party: :airborne: :boing:

-eats your cookies- yummm =3 That's a really cool idea, to decorate your wall with all your favorite pictures :D :heart:
:iconsiyan:
Thanks for the parade and cookie, lol :lol:

Nice to hear from you!!! Your classes sound great, and I wish the illustration or zoology thing would work for you-- they both sound really promising. But I'm sure there's something else you can major in. If you like art history and writing... hm, like art journalism or criticism? Curatorial studies? I dunno. *racks brain*

You should use the peanut butter to make more cookies! Sandwich cookies with the peanut butter in the middle! :D

And actually, I don't like art history--it's required for one of my core credits. ^^; The class isn't that bad I just...tend to fall asleep in it a lot. << And the creative writing was just thrown in there because it was one of the only classes I could still get into so that I'd be a full time student not have my loans start charging me. @_@ I'd looove it if I could get paid to draw and/or work with animals/outside (like a park ranger or something) but as of right now I don't really see it happening. *frustration*

xD I made a batch of peanut butter cookies. They were okay, but I think I'll need to tweak the recipe before I try them again. >>

Hee, well I get free color printing at the university (well, not really free--it's part of our tuition) so I figured, "hey! Free posters, woo!" I just gotta get to the posting part. e_e

Oh, well your course list mislead me then, haha :XD: Have you ever seen the work of Robert Bateman? He's a Canadian artist who travels the world to observe animals in nature and he does the most beautiful sketches and paintings of them. Of course, that's not really a major for college though :3

Try putting chocolate chips in your peanut butter, and spreading it on stuff like plain cookies or bread :P

I totally get a cookie. Oh, and I love peanut butter. Ship 'em to me.

Good luck deciding on a major! I'd feel funny suggesting one. I mean, think of this: I suggest one, you run with it, then 30 years from now you shake your fist in the air saying "curse you, Bru!" because you end up hating it. Seriously.
Anyway, I'd maybe suggest investing in some personality quiz that matches you up with your most likely vocation. I can't think of the name of one, ATM. But I'd google it. They cost, but I'm not sure how much...
anyway, rock on. Nice to hear from ya.

Oh man. That sounds so good, Imma have to try it. xD I can already tell that all this peanut butter was a bad idea--I'm going to gain 20 lbs.

I've never heard of Robert Bateman before, but that sounds like an awesome job! I just looked at his website and HOLY COW. 0_0

Haha, that sounds like a great sollution Bru. xD Be expecting three jars of PB on your doorstep very soon.

Actually I have taken those quizes before; like, the "official" ones designed by psychologists and all that. I took a class freshman year that was basically geared toward people like me who don't know what they're doing in college and we took loads of 'em and I kept getting the same sorts of things: be a teacher, a councilor, or a social worker. Every quiz like that I had ever taken before (or since) has always told me that so I wasn't really surprised or anything...I dunno, I mean, I could be a teacher and probably be fairly content doing it. But then there's that part of me that will always wonder what could've been. You only get to do this whole life thing once after all and it'd be nice if I could figure out the right choice. @_@

I want a cookie! and WTF. Why'd you make me a victim of your horrible little game??? And hey... WE have to make that decision on where to live. I agree to the snow.. but I need some sort of non-freezing climate in there, too. Europe, anyone?
