So, I was at some weird college festival where the students show off their fancy young-people machines they made with legos, wires, and duct tape. A lot of them were actually really cool. I make my way to the "gaming and design" department, to which there's no surprise that this is the biggest attraction. Like, "You mean I can go some place to try videogames and learn more about them? SIGN MY ASS UP." Except they also had some Wacom Cintiq tablets that fuckless kids were fucking with, while meanwhile I was fucking amazed at that technology. I kept bugging some poor student about it until I finally just told her that I want to start in animation, and she responded by being the most helpful and enthusiastic person I have ever met.
She gave me lots of tips and insight, and also told me I should look into going to some college that you go to instead of graduating highschool. That idea sounded hella awesome to me. Problem is, is that I have no fucking clue if that;s what I should do. I already had a solid plan going for myself and this alternative is going to be more expensive. At the same time, I really want to learn more about what I want to do. I love to design characters, and I'd love to bring them to life. I'm stuck in a tough spot. And hell, I don't really want to ditch the friends that I have now. But I'd pretty much fuck 'em over the opportunity to follow my dreams.
The journey of life is reaching it's next step and I'm gonna need a little luck.
