This was a hectic year for me and it was so long! Not in a bad way, just so much stuff happened that it feels like I've lived at least three years instead of the one. At the start of the year I was grinding to get into uni, which didn't exactly happen like I imagined, but I did get into an art university in the end. More on that later.
So from february to april I was making portfolio stuff, especially traditionally done still life studies and stuff like that, since I never did that at home [shame]. The first part of the application went fine and then later on the second part too. Finally I felt a little recognized for my art skills, I mean I know I have tons to improve in, but up until the uni application I never really felt like I was doing anything good. But yeah, my efforts felt appreciated [I was self taught up until uni, so i was a pretty lonely artist]
I got accepted into uni in july and after that my flatmate and I had to start looking at a flat to rent, that was pretty annoying and hard but in the end we got a good flat, so it's fine.
And then in september, school started. Before that in the last two weeks of summer, I socialized a lot, [it was very out of character for me, i don't really go out usually] which was fun and new. School braught a lot of new stuff to my life too, I seldom meet so many new people, like I did in my new class and I made some friends, so I'm looking forward to hanging out with them more in the next semester.
School itself was good, although I missed the illustration tasks, it was more software learning and graphic design this semester, which is fine, I mean I have to learn that too and I am interested in graphic design [it's my passion] so I enjoyed myself and the tasks that I was given, but yeah I hope we illustrate more next semester.
[i also fell in love with a teacher of mine, and idk if that's something that should be confessed on this site, but yeah. kind men are gonna be the death of me]
I had ups and downs, I finally met other serious artists [which did result in some jealousy on my part [[not only on my part]] but I managed it and I'm trying to be better so give me credit] besides that I started making new friends, also on a little different note, this was the year I started testosterone so I'm almost a year on T and I've been enjoying the changes, and also the teachers were great in calling me by my new name [i can't change it officially as of yet] so that was really, very heart warming.
All in all this was a very new and good year so I hope the next will be similar!!
