LIFE NEWS

~Well, the other night “Shopping Season” was shown on the big screen. The animation/film show was excellent in general, so I was glad to be a part of it. People were laughing quietly during most of mine, but the biggest laugh was when Danae (the rabbit) started smashing Miss. Toad into the floors and wall. Everyone loves that cartoon violence! My animation definitely was not the best film up there, but it definitely was not the worst. I was pretty nervous about seeing it that big, and about having that many people watch it, but I survived. I’m glad I got to experience it!

~And now, graduation! We lined up, which was a disorganized mess, and then walked over to the stadium. I have to say, I’ve never seen a group of teachers pat themselves on the back so much. Yes, they deserve recognition, but when more than half the ceremony consisted of the teachers talking about themselves, I get annoyed. On top of this, the student representative that gave our speech was a complete ditz, who also talked about herself too much. But oh well. Finally, much later, they got to the diploma issuing. I’m happy to say I didn’t trip or anything like that while walking on stage! So yeah… I now have a degree in Fine Arts-Applied Media Arts ( Fancy way of saying “Animation” ). Hoorah! Thanks to everyone who has supported my art over the years! I'm free, wahoo! Now it's time for my summer jobs... FUN FUN FUN!

THAT IS ALL NOW GET ME A SODA.
