the day my life temporarily became this vine (sidebar RIP in peace Vine always in our thoughts)
Yes hello friends it's that time again, for Shannon to tell a tale of woe, desperado and wild romance.
BUT FIRST! let me update in general on my life. Successfully did the Jerusalem thing which was great great great and now I'm back. Here are some Provo moods courtesy of Snapchat and starring ya girl and her friends
I just noticed the faded mickey mouse looking sassy on his shirt and now I'm picturing him saying the hat instead of Britney
this was not in provo but it's still mood
all day every day in that lab straight grinding out that BFA diploma with the sculpted head of Kelly as moral support obvi
fun times with the Jeru pals
I bought the giant pack and immediately regretted it but now that it has proved its usefulness I feel that way no longer
also I forgot to even blog about the Lyme Scare of 2017 (there are a LOT of scares in the last three weeks, no wonder I'm so anxious and stressed all the time) but here's a pic from that:
I got a spider bite that faded to this bullseye thing and called my mom about it and she was like "ITS LYME DISEASE GO TO THE ER RIGHT!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and I went and they were like "it..'s not lyme disease" and the next day the bite was completely gone 🙃
Also Indy, Haley and I did the dirty dash and dressed up as the trams from snowbird!! Our team name was Dick Bass Powder Patrol and it was a blast but I also was so cold my body shivered so hard.
this is the state I'm in trying to unpack from provo and get ready to go to Jerusalem on Tuesday. THIS IS FINE. Also you might note the existence of TWO cell phones on my desk. That's because I'm taking my mom's old old oldo lodldoldodo ancient"purple pink monstrosity (which I have named Goblin Village) with me to the holy land instead of my boy Johann III. Also I'm taking my super old little baby iPod from high school. and my old point and shoot camera. WE ARE GOING TO BE SO OLD SCHOOL IN THE OLD CITY.
Anyway read all about my exploits in Jerusalem at this new blog I made for the event: We Out Here
If you are curious about my travel plans let me tell you all about them!
first tomorrow I have a Very Important Meeting in provo about all the orientation.
On Tuesday I leave SLC and go to Detroit and then from there to Paris (which I am weirdly excited about??? even though I'll only be in the airport, but apparently there is an amazing Macaroon place that I have check out). Then I will fly from Paris to Tel Aviv. exciting!! That's a lot of time in the air too. hopefully I keep entertained and my many many devices don't die :/
ok well I'm just putting off more important things so we out
oh... I forgot to post on here. heh. well I have some big news.
THIS BLOG GETS TO EXIST FOR AT LEAST THREE MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!1
yes children that is because I got into the animation program! I can FINALLY GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE! (in three years). hooray finally in a major!!! It only took..... four years. SUPREME SENIOR STATUS NO REGRETS. actually this is what I'm thinking the system is like:
Freshman
Sophomore
Junior
Senior (where I'm at rn) Super Senior Superlative Senior SUPREME SENIOR (hopefully when I graduate because after that all that's left is:)
Blood Pact Senior
Weird Senior
Dreadnaught Senior (probably a grad student maybe?)
Dark Senior
Fear Senior
Eternal Senior (aka PHD student or medical student in their final year of residency)
so yeah just shy of a decade to get my undergrad of course no problem that would happen. It's fine. It's fine. OK LOOK AT THIS:
below the cut for ridiculously dysfunctional learning about how I got in:
yes kids that's right, today (....I'm writing this april 2nd but... it's like 1:30am so it still feels like april 1 ok) I submitted my application to the animation program once more and for the final time, scary!! Here is a snap story of my adventures:
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
also can I just share my super weird fear??? so. when I applied the last time we took our sketchbooks to the DVA main office where like... people were kind of looking over them/making sure they werent stolen. Well I have this terrible paranoia that someone is going to go through the giant stack of sketchbooks and decide to STEAL MINE TO SABOTAGE ME. ok I know that that is super unlikely. Like my brain zone is like "that's not going to happen" but my ANXIETY ZONE is freaking out. I waited as close to the due date as a I could honestly to prevent anyone the opportunity at least.
but I guess all day today there were what some of my friends are calling sketchbook mercenaries ie other students hanging aroudn the box outisde kelly's office so they can go through ppl's sketchbooks and like.... see what they... had in there I guess. There were a couple ppl chillin when I got there to drop mine off so I mean... this seems like a very real thing that was happening. ugh ugh ugh I'm sure it'll be fine bah.
I'm thinking maybe starting a comic actually DOUBLE EDITO
should I post what I submitted??? I kind of want to but I also kind of don't because what if I don't get in??? that's kind of a dumb reason to not post so I guess I'll post. slash at this point I don't even care.
