Summer is Busy

Thu Jul 2, 2009, 11:44 PM
I've gotten done of School at CCAD back in May. Two days after I got home I went back to my old job in town and started working there again, full time. I'm kinda exhausted since we're kinda understaffed and for the past six weeks I've had to work most days, still it's better than not having a job nowadays.
Future has kinda got me worried, Life up until this point had been so structured and predictable but entering college things have become more open ended, although I've only completed my first year and I'm already trying to make long term plans for after college.
I already know that I'm not going to draw comics or do the types of illustrations that you see here for a living. This stuff is mostly just for hobby intrest. I had planned to do illustration work for local advertisment companies and firms, a safe bet.
But even still there is no certainty that it will work out either.
Maybe it's just that there are too many options , I've always liked to have a plan for most big things. But there are too many possiblities and uncontrollable factors to arrive at a completely accurate forecast.
Or maybe it's nothing and I'm just getting apprehensive.

  • Mood: Anxious
  • Listening to: Elvis
  • Reading: Frankenstein - Mary Shelby
  • Watching: The Bunnies
  • Playing: Contra on NES
  • Eating: Food , yay food

ah i know what'cha mean about trying to make longterm plans for a career in art. I mean, what I want to do will ship me off to california or florida (working in the film industry)...which is okay with me since I don't really wanna stick around doing commercials for some local station XD Pay's better out west ahahaha. But still...that's not a guarentee that it will work out after I've moved 3,000 miles away :/

the good thing about school is that they're really good at taking care of us and getting us into interships. If we want something bad enough they'll do what they can to help us out :)

Right now though, we have to remember that we're stuck there till we graduate and there's PLENTY of time to figure out what direction we want to go in as we learn more and mature further in our art and just in general. So even though it's good to think about all this stuff...don't get too stressed about it just yet ^_^

Other than that, hope you're having a good summer despite all the working haha. At least you make a nice paycheck hm? hehe :D
