Plain and simple.... COLLEGE IS A B#$%&!!!!
As of today, I have just found out that the deadline for EVERYTHING for my applications to Emerson College, School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and Pratt Institute for the Arts is early January...
This leaves me with.... About four months to get in:

ACT Scores

SAT Scores

Portfolio, complete and ready for admissions review.

Application Fees

Application

Financial Aid applications

Scholarships

Letters of recomendation (5)

and if absolutely necessary, (which I'm sure it is),: Student loans for whatever part of a $33,000 A YEAR tuition that any currently nonexistant scholarship money doesn't cover.....
Oh, might I add that doesn't include housing. THESE SCHOOLS ARE IN BOSTON AND NEW YORK CITY. The cheapest dorm at Pratt Institute costs more than $5,000... A SEMESTER.
Books will cost between $1,000 and $4,000 dollars, a meal plan (Yes, because freshmen can't feed themselves apparently.) $2,000. Lab Fees for the digital Media Program: $40 PER CLASS. (four classes a semester at least).
Don't EVEN get me started on the freaking rediculous amount of money it's going to cost before the end of senior year!

Senior ID $25 (WTF?!?! THE OTHER CLASSES ID'S ARE FREE, AND $5 IF YOU NEED A NEW ONE!!)

Caps, gowns, invitations etc. In the vicinity of $100- $300

SENIOR PICTURES!!!!! a $200 SITTING FEE FOR KIM JEW!!! WTF?!
YEARBOOK PICTURES Yes, yearbook pictures! For seniors! WTFREAKINGF&*%?!?!?!?!

Two-week senior trip to Europe. $4,000
The math should be fun....>

So, I'm going to have limited time to draw anything that has anything to do with anime, because the people up in the schools who review portfolios HATE anime with a firey passion... I know... It's terribly sad. HOWEVER, this does by no means mean that FS is over, or even on hold. I just have real-life priorities to attend to as of now. SO, forgive me if I submit things non-anime related, 'kay? I really need help doing realistic stuff to impress the admissions people in January, and if you can critique/ find me tutorials or whatever that might help, that would make my life SO much easier. xD And if I get good enough, I might even get a $5,000-$25,000 portfolio scholarship!

(squee! Hooray for money!!!)
