Sheridan College - First Week!
The first week of school is over so it's about time I do another post!
I am a first year in the Arts Fundamentals program at Sheridan, first year even though I'm really older than everyone there but hey! They don't know that and apparently I still look 14! Crazy...
My classes seem great so far except for Color Theory, I am NO painter...Painting is not my forté but the teacher seems really nice though! All my teachers do!
I'm really excited to get started because I know learning these new skills and applying it to my art will help me create a mean portfolio which will be able to get into the courses/maybe school (CalArts), that I really wanna be in.
My Imaging system teacher is kinda the lead of the program and he said some things today that got me thinking. He had a couple of students in the past that wanted to do animation but didn't end up there. They either went on to illustration, teaching or something else and that's because when he was critiquing, he found they had stronger skills elsewhere. He's there to help us make sure our portfolio is on point and beautiful and that we have the skills to do what we want to do, but he also seems to be there to guide us in the right direction.
I guess what I'm saying is that he really made me think that maybe I'm not suppose to do animation. Like I'm going to be one of the ones he's going to say should probably go for something else. Don't get me wrong, he's not a bad guy! He just wants what's best for us and make sure we succeed. If I am one of them then I want to prove him and myself wrong! That animation is what I was meant to do! Yeah I might not draw as much as I should but that's because I like the computer aspect better.
I guess what I'm just really hoping to get out of this whole experience at Sheridan is that I finally find out who I am and what I'm meant to do because there's so much I want to do. I'm living on residence so I'm away from home, this usually means that I don't go back. That here is where my life begins, where I grow into a mature, independent adult, getting into my career, living on my own and just getting my life started, It's all I've ever wanted!
Maybe it's asking for too much...LoL

They were able to transfer me at work so I start my first shift there next week. I'm neverous starting from the bottom again and a little worried about how I'm going to juggle work and school. Right now it doesn't seem possible but I'll give it a try. I miss my other location so much.
Well new beginnings! Blessings everyone!
