A reminder to members of Fornax Forums:
To relieve stress, have fun, and get the HELL AWAY from all the political drama going on from art communities right now, I've started a new Challenge board. It will hold contests, group memes, and theme challenges for Forum members. Yeah; if you aren't a member, you can't enter. Sorrrryyyy!
Of course, it's not hard to sign up... you get all kinds of things I never show on any other site and more chit chat about.. anything and everything.
The first ever Theme Challenge has been issued. It's gonna last for four weeks, so get your entries in. You can enter as MANY as you want! See the post for more details.
Yeah, that's right NON members.. I ain't even gonna tell you what the theme is. Take that, biotchez.
On another note... I need to come clean about something with all of you; particularly my AiS chums... I hate school. I hate going to classes, doing busy work, doing *some* projects, I hate stepping foot on campus, and I hate the fact that for well over a year I feel I have learned very little. I feel I am going to waste there. It's a shame because there are some teachers I love to death.. But I really think I need to leave for good. It's been a really difficult subject for me to even talk about.. but I honestly want to drop out and focus on my work. I will try to keep you updated if any changes occur. Just don't be surprised if I end up going. And please... don't be mad at me or think less of me if I do. It's all very selfish, I know. I can't help how I feel about this though.

Your sentiments on school are the same as mine. I'm at a university right now that I found out doesn't have ANY classes in what I want to do, so I'm just wasting my time. Basically, taking classes for medical insurance. (You have to be a fulltime student to still be covered by your parents' insurance)
But, the choice of school is up to you. You have to do what you think is best. I myself am leaving my university after this semester to go to a community college and getting an Associate's in Web Design. Everyone thinsk I should get my Bachelor's, but the only Bachelor for that is Graphic Design specializing in Web Design - and I REALLY hate wasting my time learning things I'll never use.
Were you still planning on moving to the UK at some point? I've done some research into their degrees, and an Associates holds more water there than it does here. It's equivalent to a Foundations Degree there, and for many graphic-based job fields there, a Foundations is considered ADVANCED training for the job. I know that's how it is for Web Design, anyway.
You gotta do what you think is right for you and what will work out. You're a very talented artist - I really hope that no one would snuff your talents over a degree. As soon as I can get things settled (I'm saving money now for Welshi's visit in May), I'd love to commission some art from you.

You are not selfish for doing what you really, truly feel to be best for yourself, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
Or else I'll gnaw their faces off.
I went through something similar when I decided to change majors. I was terrified that my parents would be super-pissed, that they'd feel like they had been wasting their money, but they weren't. They were very supportive and respected my decision. As my mom said, "You're the one going to school, not us. It's ultimately your decision on what you want to do."
