I didn't want to make a big deal about, but I'm leaving. Im transferring back home to a state college right after finals. I'll keep up with the art of course. I took a "leave of absence". For any of you that don't know what that is, its basically them recognizing that I'm leaving but I can come back. Im suppose to stay in touch with them on what classes to take so they can transfer back. But to be honest Im not sure if Im coming back. I guess you could say I did as a kind of security "blanket" for myself, because I don't really want to leave. I want to know I always have that option to come back. As for my reasoning, well I've gone over the Pros and Cons in my head for nights. On my paper it says "financial problems", which is true as Im sure you all can understand. When I go back I wont have 5 hour classes which will allow me more time to have a job (get a steady income), which is very important to me at this point in my life (since Im a loser and don't even own my own car yet).
I don't want to sound weird or anything but its hard to leave. I thought I hated it so much here. Im continually stressing out till no end, but Im going to miss this. Right here. The dorms, believe it or not, and you guys. I thought I hated living in the dorms, but I found there is an odd comfort here. I can tell you no matter where I go I won't be in a place where there is always someone up 24/7. There will never be more creative ppl stuffed into one place. I will never be able to get all the creative advice I need. Im going to miss being able to walk down the hall for help, for advice, and to bitch about projects or teachers. I don't know everyone here and I wouldn't say I even know anyone really that well, but spending as much time as we do with each other its hard to leave this behind.
I want to stay in touch with all of you! Facebook, myspace, snail mail I don't care send me your address I'll put some mail in those empty mailboxes of yours. I'll keep up with deviantart (hopefully). It was nice knowing the greatest bunch of weird art students :] I'll miss you....
