'cause we all know art is hard

[fuckatharsis]

I may not being going to school anymore....well not S.A.I.C at any rate. My dad says we'll end up paying a quarter million and that even with my Grandpa's help we still won't be able to get a large enough loan. But we're going to try? If it's this expensive I shouldn't go. I mean, I don't even really really want the degree...I just want to study

I actually wish I would have gone to mcc to get all my basics done before I went to Kendal. It is a great accomplishment that you got in and both Mrs. Harris and I along with many of your friends are very proud of you and would stand by any decision you made for yourself.:) I love you my funny artist pal.:)

i found you through tara,
i just graduated from SAIC last may and i've had many good and bitter times with the school.
i don't mean to rain on your parade, SAIC has a high acceptance rate because it has a very high freshmen drop-out rate (almost 70% i believe!). a lot of freshmen drop out because of the structure of the classes and the "extreme independence" style. Also alot of them didn't have the thick skin to accept harsh critism (but constructive!) & biased-repsonds from their fellow students and professors. i agree it's a great place to grow as an artist and it definitly did for me as long you're very committed to it and maybe it'll be worth the money. :) i'm sure you have, but you should look into scholarship that SAIC offers (there's even a free ride one!).
anyways, best of luck and i hope you get to go, you seem to know what to expect from SAIC.

oh wow. I harldy use this journal anymore; that post is nearly two years old. I didn't go to SAIC, and I'm not planning on it. Found a major I preffered and have been taking community college courses at harold washington, including and art class each semester and signing up for work shops when I can. Thanks for the encouragement though.
