Not sure if this is appropriate, but I wanted to share without starting a whole new thread, and this was the closest thing going.
Just about every college I applied to managed to mess up my application. After sending emails asking about my status, my second choice responded by saying that there was a problem. Two problems, actually. One, I had two student ID numbers. Two, I had two college application numbers. After playing a great deal of phone tag, I finally laid it all on the line and they sorted it out (their fault for one of the problems, mine for the other). The person I dealt with was super nice. So nice, in fact, that they chose to skip over the portfolio review and I was immediately accepted into the college. Now I'm just waiting oon my first choice, but at least I know I'm hitting the books come Fall.
Every Fall I feel miserable, as friends and family head off to school and get that rush of the unknown. I lust for the smell of new school supplies. Now I can experience that again.
Like an omen, both my brother and my mother received their degrees this weekend.
My kitties were all set to go back to my ex-girlfriend, but she called me out of the blue and told me that she would rather I keep them, since they've been with me so long and love me so much. That was very selfless of her, and I can't help but be happy that we've both grown so much since our breakup, and that we can relate like adults to one another.
Kitties!
Big shoutout to the folks involved in the two comics projects in the Creation. They've been super supportive during my leave and have taken the ball and are running with it. Thanks, Troops (especially Captain Zoom, who I owe five pages).

Mandatory bi-monthly self-indulgence over.
Go Barbelith! |
