So, like i said before i was away for a while. Well lots happened. Tonight I'm going to bitch tell you about the wonder-fullness that is my future education. Pfft...
So around October of last year i started to get things in gear for me to go to school and get a bachelors of art history. Ohh sounds neat but I know it a fuck all degree. Oh this happens to be the degree previously mentioned in this blog in January. So yeah, I got a plan of going back to school and getting a future is some thing i really love doing, art. I love art, i love being a snob and knowing more about art then other people, yes art can be interpreted in many different ways but compared to my ways you ways look dumb. I like that. Its about the only fucking thing I've got any talent at. So yeah i apply, and send money, i get transcripts and send money and i wait. and send money. So I've got about 400 bucks invested in this come the wend of January. that's 400 dollars in application fees, Jesus Christ!
Oh and! i need to have a portfolio. Well shit! that's no problem, im an art geek, i can whip one of those up in no time, right! Right? ...waiting on some inspiration here people, lets go! I'm about half way through my first of 10 necessary works for my portfolio and its only taken me a month to do, thank god the dead line is only 2 months away. Inspiration is a fickle bitch.
So I'm paying a ridiculous amount in application fees, my portfolio is %5 complete and by this point im feeling some stress. Then I get an email.
Hi Tangent,
My name is Michael FUCK-WAD and I am the student adviser for the
Department of Art and Art History at the University of COW-TOWN.
As an applicant to the Art History program, I wanted to let you know
that the Faculty of Fine Arts will be deferring entrance into the Art
History program this year.
Essentially this means that no new students will be admitted to the Art
History major for the 2009-2010 school year.
For assistance with changing your application to another program at the
University of Calgary, you can contact Marian at xxx-xxx-xxxx
The Faculty of Fine Arts regrets this change and hopes that you continue
to be interested in studying at the University.
Fucking what? Excuse me? No,no this is a mistake... So i called. No mistake. But they, kindly, gave me an alternative. I could go into social sciences or some shit like that and possibly transfer majors next year. However, the entrance requirements to this SS major are much lower, but the odds of me being able to transferr to AH next year are slim since is such a competitive degree ( apparently being an art snot is a coveted thing, i dunno) and the courses i need in my first year i wouldn't be able to take them all sincee its not an AH degree. So in a nut hell i get this as "you spent 400 bucks for nothing, you have to wait a year before you get to have a hoity toity education and if you really cant wait you just might fuck your self"
I hate university's. H8.
But I'm not giving up. Ive recently started looking to to becoming an acupuncturist. There are 3 vocational schools near me that have that degree, one even has a Dr. of acupuncture. I don't know how that works though, isn't a Dr. a 8 year thing? but this is only 4 years... i dunno.
More later, stay tuned.

I got a cousin in Jersey who owns a funeral home.
I can have the whole dang AH department taken out.
I know nothing about art. Some of it makes me giggle. I don't get abstract at all. I like Andrew Wyeth.
But I will have them taken out for you.
