Got the morning off 'till 3pm today, when I need to start walking to Uni to get to my 4:30pm lecture. So, I'm just chillin'
Today will be listening to music, playing some games, but mainly doing some drawing for assignments. We've got a portraiture one that's due Friday and I've still got a bit to do but we have Thursdays off so Iv'e got like, I can spend 8 hours on a few drawings if I want to. And we've also got a skeleton one due in like 3 weeks, has to be a full-sized (like 5ft or something) drawing of the human skeleton in the drawing room at school, and has to have at least 10hrs min on it for it to be marked, I'll have to be starting that this Friday morning before class.
All that daily-journal stuff aside,

Several weeks into my 2nd Uni term now, the bachelor of visual arts at a La'Trobe campus in Mildura, and it's a lot of fun. Hanging around with people that obviously like art and practice it, and I'm also happy knowing that in 2 and a half years I'll be (presumably) graduating and will be a proper recognized artist and I won't even be 21 yet. That's pretty cool.

I've been asked a few times this year by other students, "what do you hope to achieve once you've finished art school?"... I have no idea. Well. I have plenty idea, I want to work on art for video games or comic books, but I also know that I live in rural Australia, am terribly un-connected, and getting those jobs here is out of the question (even in this country probably), unless I launch one myself, and then that's just a stupid gamble to take when I've no experience in either field. So, there's this, put up with being a "traditional artist", selling paintings or printmaking etc, which I enjoy doing all that stuff don't get me wrong, but, the other option, work for people 'till I can afford to get myself somewhere where I can get into the scene I want to be a part of, is probably the scarier but more exciting option. Only issue is having to work normal jobs here and produce artwork to sell anyway until I can save up enough to get out of here, i'm worried that it will take too long and I'll meet someone and be stuck here forever.

                                    ...I might have been wiser to start by shifting to a capital city at least for Uni, and it's still not out of the question, I could transfer for 2nd or 3rd year, and at least then be in a big city where there's more people I could go hang out with that might be well connected or knowledgable about getting into the industry I want to, where to go afterward, etc.

-eghhh *sigh*
