I got an email back from SVA, and it sounds like like they just want eight more observation drawings. I think I can pump out some more work, but seriously, competitive art schools are more exhausting to get into then I thought. I bet all you people attending regular schools merely had to send in your grades, SATs, an essay, and a silly little form with a check. Hmmph!

To be fair though, I guess I would have had all the drawings I needed if we had studied fine art techniques as part of CNMA’s curriculum, like they said we would. Hmmph…

Even though it’s sounding like they’re going to accept me once I give them more drawings, I’m liking the idea of doing the first year at AAU the more I think about it. But on the other hand, I haven’t forgotten how much I loved New York City either, so I’m going to go ahead and do the drawings.

Oh, and by the way, my parents threw me a curveball with the whole college decision thing. They’re very supportive, but they’ve made it clear that they’d rather I went to San Francisco. The other day, my mother told me that if I choose to go to SVA, I won’t be able to live in the New Residence building, the new Freshmen-only dorm building next door to where my classes would be. That means I’d probably be staying in the George Washington building, which isn’t quite as nice or convenient. Tricky tricky, right?

Anyway, if anybody wants to hang out and sketch with me, then let me know since drawing with friends around is better than drawing alone. I’d probably get the drawings done faster too, since I seem to be a really slow sketcher when I’m left by myself, which isn’t good for endurance. I’ll try to do one per day because I want to get this all in and hear a final verdict soon, especially since it’s already the middle of April and I want to know what my plans will be!
