My first post

I am posting this because I did’t want to vlog and wanted to learn how to use WordPress. So many bloggers are using it, and so far it gets high marks from me since the apps is working. Better then my other experiences with blogger. Since beginning of August I went ahead and applied for graduate school. I had been an elementary art teacher for the past 8 years and this year I decided to teach high school. I have mixed feelings about all of this, and it has been incredibly stressful and challenging. I miss my awesome sauce students, faculty and staff. They are the best. I know everyone probably says that but I really believe mine are. I did some serious evaluating of my career and decided this new path is for me. I applied to the art school that I attended for my BFA in Illustration. I applied for the animation program and it was taking some serious time to hear back. Like a month and a half. I have no shame I knew why, my demo reel “SUCKED.” That is putting it kindly.

I am really an illustrator at heart and reapplied and heard back in a week and half that I was accepted into their MFA for Illustration. I did hear back from admissions about the animation program. I got accepted but I think it was probably based on the fact that I was a former grad of the school.

I had been taking so much time learning how to teach high school and get a curriculum together I am burned out. I started getting back into my art and boy does it make me a better person to be around. I will keep you posted family and friends on this change.
