long time no see
Well due to the various random things that have been consuming my life as of late, I have been unable to chronical my most recent weeks via blog post. I'm so bad about making the time for it. :(
Last week was my first college interview... The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. It was so cool to be able to see all of the different works of art done by the students there. I also learned that much of the art that we see on a daily basis was done by AI alumni. Things like the video game Halo, the advertising for the Yaris automobile, Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirts, and even the most recent Super Bowl memorabilia. All quite interesting, I thought. The campus was ok, but I just didn't get the "feeling". I don't exactly know what the "feeling" feels like, but I've heard that you'll just know which college is right for you. The Art Institute has been officially marked off my list.
Though I was really upset that I didn't like the AI last week, I think it was really helpful in that I know I don't want to spend $86,000 on an education in Graphic Arts or Photography. If I am going to get a higher education, I want it to be in something that will allow me to earn more money after I graduate. So, I am exploring my options in Psychology/Criminal Justice/Forensic Psychology. On Monday I set up five college interviews for the next two weeks. Hopefully they will go well. We are starting with West Virginia Wesleyan on Wednesday and ending with Cal U the following Wednesday. So we shall see what happens. I'll try to keep you posted. :)
Tuesday night, I went around to put my app in at various locations such as Kirklands and Kohls. I'm hoping to get a new job within the next few weeks so I can quit my Studio M job. It's just not going very well and I feel like God is telling me that it's time to move on. So if you can pray that I hear clearly from God, I'd really appreciate it!
I'm finding that this point in my life is really rough, and I have gained a new respect for the people who have made it past this season of life fully relying on God's help. It's so much easier said than done. You kind of feel like a big bully turned the whole world upside down and is shaking it for your milk money. I'm praying that God will show me the positives in this situation rather than the obvious cons. That He shows me His love and grace and allow me the ability to extend it to the other people in my life.
Have a wonderful rest of Wednesday :)
