thank you for the comment
i know exactly how you feel, dana. since i graduated from college, being near my family has been HUGE considering they lived overseas when i was in school. also, i went through some pretty turbulent times close to a year ago related to drinking and i NEEDED my parents.
that said, i may be at a crossroads soon where i'll want to move and i give you MAJOR props for thinking about it. like heather said, go venture out and live your life :)

what's going onnnnnnnnnnnnn, woman???? :)
Honestly, Dana, I found that by leaving upstate New York and moving to Texas, I became closer with my family than I was before. When you're separated, you tend to appreciate family more, so the contact you have with them is more meaningful.
Not only that, but it's critical that you venture out on your own and get a new perspective on the world. The challenges you'll face (personally and professionally), the new relationships you'll forge, the wisdom you'll gain from having taken such a bold leap ... all of these are valuable beyond measure. It doesn't mean it will be easy for you, but that's part of the growth. The longer you remain in Pennsylvania, the more difficult it will be for you to leave, so my advice is to believe in yourself and start a new adventure.
Now, I totally understand the dog situation, but one way of dealing with that is to get your own pup once you relocate. I don't mean to minimize your relationship with Chloe ... clearly, it's a special bond you have ... you she'll never forget you.
All best.

this is great.
thanks so much hun!!! one of our own qLifers took the photo--his name is joe but he goes under the username of "rawkhawk." i'm sure he'd love to hear compliments! and yes, i was having a ton of fun!!!
I feel your pain, so it's time for you to rely on the goodness of others. Does your college have some sort of tutoring center? Or can you find tutors who'll charge a nominal fee to get you through these courses.
The truth is that even an art teacher is better off having a well-rounded education ... it's good to have background knowledge in a lot of areas that aren't necessarily your primary discipline. But you have to use the resources available sometimes to get the most of those courses (in addition to passing them).
I can think of a few courses I struggled with as an undergrad, but I had a friend to tutor me, and I ended up enjoying the class in most cases.
You can do it. Commit yourself to finding someone to help you, and visit your instructors frequently throughout the semester, just to let them know you care and want to pass. That can go a long way toward helping you at the end of a course.
Good luck!
Heather

california .... here i come?
May 13, 2008so, since my last entry, ive been doing a lot of researching. two years ago i started looking to see if i had a chance of getting into a fashion school. i looked at FIT in nyc because its the closest to me. and the other was all the way in california, FIDM. Ive always had a passion for design and color and fashion in general. i applied to FIT and had an interview there. my portfolio was accepted, just not me hahaa. how great is that?
so i moved on. but now, obviously from my last entry, im trying to figure out what my options are because im already in my third year of school, and its going to take me three more years to finish this degree, just because i transfered.
i am looking whole heartedly into FIDM now. ive spoken with an admissions advisor for a good hour on the phone. he really helped me think about what would work well for me, and really made me feel more confident in pursuing this. and it seems amazing, and i really want it.
the only problem that exists is that its in CALIFORNIA.
coming from pennsylvania.....thats a bit of a culture shock. its a bit of a lot of things honestly. and my parents think i cant handle being away from my family for that long. truth be told, they are probably right, in a sense. i love my family. im so close to them- and it will really effect me. however- this may be a really good opprotunity for me. and its not that i have to live in california after i graduate- i could work in new york and be closer to home. but just all together, the scenario sucks a bit on the family front. especially with our dog Chloe. im the closest to her. and shes getting older- and i know it sounds morose, but if she passed away while i was that far away, let alone if she passed away AT ALL, i would be heartbroken.
i just need some suggestions or stories of past expierience from all of you- if you would be willing to share!

I am in my third year of college at Marywood University in my hometown of Scranton, Pa. Scranton is really only known for two things: the show "The Office" and our St. Patrick's Day parade. Other than that, we are a pretty small city. Not the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and their business, but its getting there.
im have unhealthy obsessions with art and music, if there even IS such a thing as an unhealthy obsession with either.
Im pretty much here to meet others that are trying to sort out their lives and be creative and amazing all at the same time. So give as much input as you would like, and ill do the same.
