I start SCAD tomorrow!

Sun Jan 6, 2008, 3:48 PM

Mood: Excited

I've been staying with my parent for the last week. I'll probably never move back to Raleigh, unless I get a job there. The drive over to Savannah went well. It only took about 5 hours, which is nothing compared with stories I've about people driving 18 hours to get here. I drove with my dad so he could take the car back. He stayed long enough to help me get my stuff out of the car and that was it.

Orientation was what I expected. The student reps where cool and very talkative. One poor guy there was crying because his parents just dropped him off and left. I can see how being dropped off in a big city right after high school could be scary. I felt bad for the guy. I've been getting my friend Joey to show me around and introduce me to some new people. So far its been really great. The only down side I've heard of is that the crime rate is pretty high.

Classes start Monday and I'm really looking for to it. I'll tell you guys how that goes tomorrow.

Cool! Sounds like you'll be having fun there! I hope everything goes well for you!

Poor guy. I know how he feels...

They say artists should be able to create no matter what medium they are handed. But if someone hands you a slab of marble, and tells you to carve a sculpture using only your face, you're probably S.O.L.

Oh wow; I'm so excited for you!
Let me know how your first day/week goes!

...Hey. Guess who might be joining you as a newb at SCAD.

Thanks! I will.

Steven Colbert?!

Hmmmm I wonder who. Tee-hee. Is it for certain?

lol

It's looking like it, yep. Between spring and autumn is the timeframe for my enrollment, I think. The only thing that would prevent me from going is if I manage to get an industry job here before the end of February--which, while I'm optimistic about a few companies, I'm looking at it realistically. If I've been bugging them for several months now, I don't think it's going to just happen to fall into my lap by that deadline. lol

It might. You never know. Either way, you'll have a great experience. I can't wait to get a good job and get out of debt.

Did you ever get that e-mail I sent you about SCAD? If I were you, I'd really pay attention to it and do what it says! It'll save you a lot of money. I didn't follow it as will as I should have and now I'm taking classes I've already had. They're fun classes and I enjoy them but they're so expensive.

I did, and I'm going to go over it several times just to make sure I'm not confusing important points. Thank you so much for forwarding me that email; it's going to come in very handy. :3

What I'll end up doing is 1) research EXACTLY the courses I want to take, 2) research applicable scholarships/grants that are available to me, 3) apply for said courses, 4) apply for said scholarships--which, according to the email you sent, should be done after a student is accepted-- and 5) keep my fingers crossed.

I'm going to pester some of the SCA instructors for help as well; most of them already know the boat I'm in, and I hope they'll be able to help me out...

Is there any way you can still take those tests to opt out of courses you've already taken or don't need, or is it too late once you start the classes?

YAAAAY!! Have fun down there! And go sit at the Forest Gump bench in the park while you're there! *poke*

Don't stress, have fun.

Thanks! I'm having a blast so far. I've talked to a few people about that and they said it was moved because people keep vandalizing it. Oh well, I tried.
