As the summer session creeps around the corner, excitement and anticipation is what I feel. I really need to concentrate and do the best I can because the time I spent here will produce the work and develop the skills I need for a career I finally realize I want. Although I always enjoy drawing and has an artistic view of things but I never really think I can hack it. I didn't believe in myself and to some extend I still don't and still looking for that validation from others that I am artistic and can create something spectacular and amazing.
My parents have always been more practical than ideal; they have seen good returns from their hard work so being an artist or making a living with creativity isn't a popular idea. My mom is in full support in me going to school now, especially in the finance department. In the end, I can only have my self to blame for my actions or lack of.
My goal is to become an Art Director where I can have a say in the creating process; I have no delusion that it will take me years of hard, boring work to get there but at least I would be working in the industry developing relative skills rather than working at some job as a "manager" of do whatever it takes to get it done and not really getting any technical skills from it.
Now that I'm a father of beautiful daughter, it is really hard to be away from home. Taking these MFA classes are not going to much different from working at a full time job, if not more time because of lab hours and such. The past 2 1/2 months have been great spending time with my wife and daughter; I will in my weaning period of them. I will miss them terribly and yet I am looking forward in learning, again. One thing I've said before, if I ever win the lottery, I'd just be a student because I do like learning different subjects. This is the beginning of my weekly blog.
