Happy Thanksgiving!

Okay so it's not Thanksgiving yet but it is the Thanksgiving weekend and I am spending it with my family!

I am thankful for my family. The saying"you don't know what you have until it's gone" and "there's no place like home" is so very true. I didn't know how much I really loved my family and how much they meant to me until I left for College and yes I didn't go very far but I still miss them and everything that comes with them, the headaches the arguments, the tears, the laughs, everything! 

I am so happy to be home! I've missed my family so much even though they may be trying at times! I think the hardest part will be leaving them again Monday evening and going back to reality...I have homework to do but I just couldn't bother to do it before I left.

I came home to so much book mail! I've already started reading them (even though I'm not done Isla and the Happily Ever After) and as you can see from the pictures below they're so pretty and I'm a hopeless romantic! 

P.S. I Still Love You & Famous In Love & Fairytale Beginnings

An Animator's Gallery, such a beautiful book!

Just a small recap about school, 

In case you haven't read my other posts, I was so sure what I was doing when going to school but when I got there I got confused and overwhelmed a little. So I made some appointments to talk to guidance consolers and my teachers and other faculty members and they finally gotten me on the right track,

I want to do Animation but I want to do COMPUTER ANIMATION!(and visual effects) so I don't have to do the 4 year Bachelor of Animation program. All I have to do is one more year of Visual and Creative Arts and then straight on to the animation course and after (which I really want to do also) I could do the visual effects program. All are only a year so I'm looking at about 3 more years of school...yikes...sounds bad when I'm typing it considering I'm already 21...

OR

If I want to do photography I could do that and then jump into animation and visual effects later but that is longer, looking at about 5-6 years but I wouldn't mind because I love photography and want to do more with it. I guess I don't have to really focus on that I could always do it as a side job while pursing computer animation.

So after that whole conversation I left pretty pumped knowing I finally, set in stone, CRAVED down that I know what I'm doing. If I write another post about how I'm confused and I don't know what I want...please leave me a message about how stupid I am. Please.

I did a painting for an assignment in class that they are going to put on display. I wasn't 100% happy with it, being my first time painting, but they seemed to like it so hey! I'll get a picture of that and post it in another post. I might even do another one cause I really liked that assignment.

Work,

Work is going so much better. The transportation is still a problem though, I wish I had a car. I'm on my feet all day without a break and then have to take the bus and than walk(the bus is packed so by the time I get it I don't have a seat). But everyone is getting nicer except for this one leader. I don't think she likes me so I try to stay far away from her as possible. One of my favourite leaders is leaving! She's so cool and so much fun and just awesome! I'll miss her so much!

I've had this track non-stop for the past few days now, it's Glee's rendition or mashup called One Less Bell To Answer/House Is Not A Home. To me, it is by far the best rendition I have heard from them! The scene in which is played is great and great voices! I recommend everyone to give it a listen, I love it! 

There is a just an audio track on youtube as well.

God has truly been good and I am so grateful! I just want to make Him, my family and all the people supporting me proud. My biggest fear is letting them down.

I want to do more reviews like on the phone I use for school, the computer I use, the camera I use and of course more movies! And maybe some more books...cause clearly I'm struggling with that. So be on the look out for that! 

Blessings everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!
