Basically, every day was torture not hearing back from Calarts. It was really stressful and I didn't sleep well for a while. On Wednesday I had a nice little break test driving some Audis with one of my buddies, and the car salesman who was super chill and basically let us drive to the beach. He was also probably the most attractive guy I've ever met, so it was like a double win (yes I'm gay). Anyway, that only served as a distraction for like 3 hours, so I went back to being all meh.
By Saturday I had given up hope of hearing back from them anytime soon, so I chose to go to the Air Show with my Dad and sister, but first we made a pit stop at his old co-workers place. He's retired and he basically lives on a farm. Beautiful place though. Also there was cool old western stuff like you see in movies like down the dirt road.
The "Airport." People apparently fly in on private jets and stuff there.
My dad and his co-worker in front of an abandoned shack. It was pretty tight actually.
Also this McDonald's had a white horse on it. What.
The next day, I had to go to this awards ceremony/graduation thing for my sister's old childhood friend. His parents started this ambassador's program for young men/boys and it was an event just recognizing them. Also, an interesting surprise near the end, Malcolm-Jamal Warner came to speak (Theo from the Cosby Show). He was pretty funny and a nice surprise.
You can't see him well but that's him.
Other than that Sunday was a crummy day. I was cranky that morning due to being woken up just a bit too early, no food to eat, and the food I did eat at the event was.......eh. I got home and didn't do crap, I just half assed some Drawing I homework. I escaped for a bit to get ramen with my buddy Alex, the same one I went test driving cars with, and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. I started getting turnt in the parking lot for no reason. Then we drove to Gravity Hill with some other guys and called it a night.
THEN THE NEXT DAY.......I woke up as usual and did my thing. But as I was walking to class once I arrived at school, I, on a whim, decided to check my email. I was shocked to see an email from Calarts sitting patiently in my inbox, in my head I was like "shit...it's happening" but I clicked on it anyway and the first word I saw was:
"Congratulations..."
Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit. Then I emailed my old roommate Shan and told him, and we both spazzed over text about it for a minute or so. I was sooooo happy. It didn't even sink in until like....today lol. And I'm still processing it.
....OMG I'M GOING TO CALARTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (temporarily)
Weird thing is, the more I look at my "portfolio" the more I'm like.....huh? Calarts has high standards, and my stuff was not that great, I can see tons more flaws now. But whatever, it's not competitive from what I heard....but they don't let everyone do it, so I'll give myself a little credit.........but still, I need tons of work lol.
I won't even talk about today. I left my Life Drawing class early because everything I drew sucked. Which was weird because I tried doing gestures with blue pen today. And I in no way think they're "brilliant," but I think they're better than what I was doing before.
Eh. Now that I look at them they're actually just whatever.
So yeah, that sums up my week. Had to wait a full, stressful week to hear back from Calarts. But at least I got in! At least...for the summer lol. Baby steps. So yeah, my mom was super happy, and I'm glad I got in, so it shows her I'm improving...or something lol. Idk
Also yesterday this happened...
Lol, my cousin goes to school near my house and her car died. We had to hotwire it. Told my mom about Calarts like right after this happened haha.
So yeah. That's my life right now. I also just watched Hitch for no reason. Anyway, till next update! :D
