Soooo, today was The Art Institute's open house. And since I'm interested in going to The Art Institute of Los Angeles, I decided to go.
Now, uh...Sign in is at 10 am. My dad decided it would be a good idea to wake me up at 6 am so that I would have enough time to get ready.
OTL
The College is in Santa Monica, so it was about a half hour drive. Both of my parents decided to tag along, so the entire ride was rather...loud. Oh, and apparently my parents are Nirvana fans. Huh.
The school was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. They took us on a quick tour and then sat us down so the faculty can talk at all of us for about an hour. And OH GOD, TELL ME THIS MUCH.
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BRING A BABY TO A COLLEGE PRESENTATION?There was an infant behind me, tugging at my hair and kicking at my chair during the whole speech. And when that baby started to cry, it was apparently a cue for other babies to start crying. The poor dean looked like she wanted to bitchslap the infant.
Once that was over, they split all of us into groups so that we can explore the classes we're interested in. I, of course, went with the Media Arts & Animation group. And wow. I was, uh...pretty impressed. The students here are really talented. They showed us shorts and reels and models made by kids who go here. Honestly, I was blown away. They've got a really hands-on approach to everything. Each student gets individual training, and the teachers are incredibly attentive. All the different sections, the sound crew, the visual effects, the actors, and the animators of the school come together to collaborate on projects. I THOUGHT THAT WAS NEAT. I wish they had shown us some more 2D stuff. They only had two reels. :C I also inadvertently sat next to some girl who turned out to be a flash animator. We ranted together. It was pleasant.
It seems like a great school. And my parents seemed to like it too.
Now the only problem is how I'm going to get there Monday - Saturday, if I end up going, that is... I'm moving to Sierra Madre in about two years from now, and that's about a forty minute drive which is ANNOYING. HRFNNN. I guess I'll have to figure something out.
After that, I went home, I gave Brenda a quick call to recap the open house and see if she's interested in going with me, we stopped by Papa John's because my mom had a CRAAAAZY craving for pizza, and I've been fighting the urge to curl up in bed and finally crash from my earlier sugar rush for the past couple of hours.
SO THAT WAS MY DAY. HOW WAS YOURS? c:

My life's pretty sweet. I've got shoes now, and I don't have to wrap my balls in cotton to keep the pigeons out anymore. Now I use socks, because I have socks again too. That aside, I'm still working the shitty coffee bitch gig. I've got a neat project in the works lately, and I think you'll like it. I'll surprise you when it's done.
This place is full of people, and it's Fucking Thanksgiving. I wish they would just go home to their respective families and leave me alone to celebrate with soda crackers and ice water. >8C
Have you eaten turkey yet?
