Fast Forward 1 Week

Much like that movie Click, it's like we fast foward a week on February 27th, and here we are now. Things between Jerry and I seem to be relatively back to normal, though I still don't trust him or the things he does behind my back. It just means I have to be on my game for the rest of the semester, which is why I've started locking my door when I leave to go somewhere, because I realize as sad as it is, I can't trust them with simple things. But those thoughts aside, things are ok.

As far as FIDM is concerned, they've completely flipped the script, in a weird kind of way, which isn't bad persay, but it's weird. I was told by Vicki last Friday when she called that the reason they hadn't got back to me was because they were deliberating where they wanted to put in the school. Apparently according to her, they feel like I don't belong in the Visual Communication department and they think it's the wrong place for me. Not that I completely blame them of course, because in the beginning I wasn't even sure of what I wanted to do when I applied to that university in the beginning. To be completely honest, I'm still not sure what it is that I want to do there. I just know I want to be there. And so Vicki informs me that everyone discussed it and they believe it was in my best interest to be moved to the graphic arts department in the school, where they think I'd be better served. To be honest, that kind of work was never the thing I saw myself doing, but I don't think it's bad in the least bit. You hear about people graduating undergrad with a Chemistry degree that go to Grad school and get a degree in Sociology. I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a degree in Graphic Art, and as a matter of fact, I think the concept is kind of cool because it gives me the tools to learn how to do something I've secretly wanted to do all my life anyway. Anyway, the infamous Hollywood trip is now officially a week away, and I'm still a little confused as to what's going to go on. But I've been scheduled to meet Mr. Steven Reaves, Head of Graphic Design at 10am on Friday March 7th. Hmmm hope everything goes like I want. But nothing to do but wait and see.

As far as the FIIV show goes, I've decided I'm not going to attempt this year because we have problems securing a location as well as the fact that the interest meeting was completely bust, but that's okay. I didn't really feel like doing it originally anyway, so it's one less thing that I have to worry about perfecting this year, so I'm over it.

P.S. As a side note, I learned something incredibly shocking the other day from my brother. One of our oldest friends (one that I've known for over half my lifetime) has been convicted for child molestation and is in prison for molesting a little boy. I personally don't believe a word of it, and I think there's more to the circumstance, but I guess I won't know until I ask him personally.
