Art Institute of Phoenix......

So I just spent 4 days in Phoenix, for a few reasons (and should be doing homework). Mainly to go to the open house at the Art Institute of Phoenix. It's one building compared to the Academy of Art in San Fransisco (13 buildings). They both seem to have their pros and cons. But to continue on the AI they do have some great teachers who really know what they're doing. Another good thing is that it is small (though hard to get in to) so there is more individual attention. I went to the Game Art and Design presentation (couldn't choose between Game Art and Design or Animation so I just choose what popped into my head) and they are using the newest technology. As for housing it was rather nice, but I was offered a place to stay actually 2 places by my family. I don't know whether I should take them up on their offer if I do go, I don't want to be a mooch (though I guess you could consider me one now... though my parents don't really care, they'd rather it be that way). The Game Art and Design Program is however very demanding. I can't remember how many hours of work a day you have but I can safely say I couldn't have a job too. And the price is the same as the Academy about $90,000 by the end and that doesn't count for the supplies and housing. :o

On a side note. I don't see why they have to be so damn pushy. God, I'm still deciding don't have a heart attack when I say that! "Well it's best to sign up now so you don't pay for unnessecary classes." It's not that bad on the outside but the tone in her voice. Jeez, that lady was intimidating. I have a hard enough time saying "no" as it is (well actually this time it was easy).

On another quick note, I sorry (for those who actually care) that I haven't posted new drawings recently. Honestly I've probably done about 50 new drawings I've just been lazy. But I'm guessing not too many people really care. Anyway, I've been trying to start a new style (as you might have noticed a bit) and I'm frustrated trying to figure out what I like... actually I take that back it's been kinda fun. I've gained new techniques and habits in my Life Drawing class. Right now we're working on animals and I've been working on my dog for about 4 hours. I think I might post it.. though it's rather large.

Anyway, thanks for your time if you read this. How are you guys? Any new information in your life that you would like to share?

Sorry for talking your ear off. ^^;

I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. I might be getting a little sick from lack of sleep. *sigh* Hopefully it'll go away.

How are you doing, hun?^^
:iconaiyai:
^^ College life = lack of sleep. Make sure you eat right to make up for the lack of sleep. Drink lots of orange juice : D and eat fresh fruits. I hope everything is going well for you, although the first week is always the hardest. I am sure you will make new friends : D !

I am doing fine as well. I have been busy much :|.

Yes college life does equal no sleep. It's how life goes I guess. Yeah I'm trying to eat healther, been at least drinking orange juice. Yeah I'm trying to make new friends. And I've gotten much more used to the schedule.

School's been busy for you? What's going on in your life? :?
:iconaiyai:
That's good > U < Orange juice boosts up your immune system : D.

I am in my senior year ^^, so I am trying not to miss out on anything by participating a lot in school activities. Plus, I am more committed to schoolwork this year and I have to start looking into colleges T_T.
