Awesome! I ACTUALLY got a FAST computer!!! This is like the first time I've EVER gotten a fast computer at the school computers!
I'm sooo happy I got most of my make up work done. I'm a little behind in math and physics because of the Halloween window painting which I participated in. Also, this whole week I've been neck deep in writing essays for English class. I'm so glad that they all end today! Wahahahahahahaa!!
Yesterday I felt a little bad on my way out of physics class. My teacher was explaining how microsoft excell was a really good program and how everyone should use it. My class is doing a physics lab on excell, but since I was out for 2 days I was late to start it. On my way out I asked if I could stay after and get help with it, but my teacher couldn't stay. So we got into this conversation about excell, and he asked me, "What are you going to college for?" and I replied, "For producing and directing (preferably for cartoons, moreso for storyboard)." He really didn't make any sort of "oh, what a cool job" face or expression, he didn't even say anything to me. It was just a blank face, which I took as, "Wow, what a crappy job. You'll never amount to anything in it." I know that that's probably NOT what he was thinking, but, to me it just felt that way. I've had more than one person tell me that my future career is not a bright one. They compare me to all the big directors and producers expecting me to fill their shoes, but it doesn't work like that! Those big time directors/producers were LUCKY to get to the position of fame they are now, just because they had some really increadable idea that no one else had in THEIR TIME.
How do my peers know that I won't make a great new and loved idea for MY TIME? They don't... ;)

I think your career idea is a good one. The future is very bright in this industry and there will be many opportunities. You ARE the net generation and with all of the CGI stuff in movies and television, you should have many options. You are a very talented artist!
When I read your comment on Ms. M's blog, I was honestly very interested. I wrote the name of the book down and I'm seriously going to pick it up. You named all the key parts about the book to catch someone's attention without actually saying what it is about. I love fantasy books, and I'm a sucker for romance and suspense. Thanks for recomending it. I'm looking forward to it.
