After the year is out, and I get all my paintings and sketches from my art class home from the art academy, I'm going to make a looonnnnggg powerpoint of it all as a portfolio.

At the same time, I'll submit my gallery of paintings from this year on my DA. I think you'll all be interested to see how work in traditional media varies from my digital work.

And in really awesome news, my 17th birthday is coming up on the 13th, and I'm taking a freaking awesome trip with :iconDetecetiveQ: and his folks to one of the best Art university's in well...top 10 in the world, i think, and top 5 in the country. Full Sail University in Orlando (yaaay for already living in Florida 8D) The more I think about it, I may not end up going there, but I'm excited to check out what they have to offer. I'm going in to check out their game art degree programs. After I check out Full Sail, the only other place I'm going to look into that I know of so far is NYU.

Also at the same time, the trip is going to be to ST. Pete, and we're just going to have a mini-vacation at the beach doing boating and stuff (I wanna make a rly big sand castle with Anna's little nieces) :3 on my birthday there's gonna be a luau and Anna gave me permission to bring a watermelon and a sledge hammer. Since the hammer----> melon thing is what I decided what I solely want to do for my birthday XDDD Must. Crush. Melon. 8D

My application for Edison College is finished and I'm turning it in tomorrow, (hopefully) and I'm already nearly halfway done with my AP summer work. So hopefully, this summer will be much more rewarding than the last summer (if anyone remembers how much homework I slaved over last summer lol)

Now that I have my ticket to Germany, I feel much more relaxed, I'm still nervous about the trip though XD;;;;

I'm gonna be a senior~~ heeehehe <3

(only other good news I have is that cross country practice has been going better than I expected, been working really hard at keeping up with the faster girls on the team. I'm sure I'll be at their pace as soon as I get used to heat. It's been the best time I could have asked for when getting back into running and stuff :3)
