Hey all,

Sorry I haven't posted here in awhile, but now that schools started I've been super busy. They run a tight ship here at Full Sail. It's alright though; even though it's stressful and the schedule can get intense, I love it here! I'm surrounded by awesome artists and everyone here seems to be into the same thing I am. It's like going to a college full of people that are interested in the exact same thing as you...actually that's exactly what it is!

I got my grades for some of my first classes. I got an A in psychology and an A+ in English. I just got back from my portfolio review for my art 1 class and I got a 91 on that, so all and all I'm happy. But there is something I'm kinda unhappy about.

Despite being a little stressed and worried they would like my art and I would orginize everything and passing with a high grade, I'm still dissapointed in myself...All across the school there's students art work hung up on the walls. I had some good pieces that I was happy with, but none of my pieces got picked to be hung up. While I was waiting there, to get reviewed, two of my class mates came out and told me that their work had been picked to be put on the walls. So despite the good grade I got, I'm dissappointed in myself for not doing better. I think one of my pieces will be hung if I can add some touch ups to it that were mentioned. My teacher really like my water color piece, but I know I can do better than this.

Now the bar has been set though, and I plan to aim high. My goal for this month is to get my art put on the walls. I don't wanna settle with "It's pretty good considering," or "It's good for your level". I wanna produce good art. I wanna make something that's considered good art by everyone, and can be hung on the wall as an example for future students.

That might sound kinda arrogant, I guess, but I just know I can do better. I wanna push myself to keep improving. Just in this month I've improved and learned alot, and I only wanna keep getting better.

Anyway, enough about me. I haven't heard from alot of you in awhile. How are you doing? Send me a note or leave me a comment or something. I wanna hear from you guys!

PS. Sorry to the people I owe art. School has me busy and I can't guarentee I'll have something for you guys soon, but it will come eventually. Hopefully...
