HOMG....it's been a while.....

SOOOOOOOOOO, I guess the biggest update would be that I got into Grad school! XD Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It was a long and arduous process but the results are in and I will officially be going to the University of Texas, Austin for my MFA in Costume Design.  YAY!  The journey started with the U/RTAs in Chicago.  It was quite stressful to get my 3 portfolios together along with a 6 board presentation, my resume, an official postcard, a 6ft banner and 3D objects, BUT!  I did it and amazingly it all came out quite well.  I had over 20 interviews with an intense amount of amazing programs and staff.  I was there the longest since I had the most interviews out of anyone XD  My top choices came down to University of Washinton- Seattle, University of Maryland-DC, University of Texas-Austin, Cincinnati Conservatory, North Carolina Conservatory, Long beach State, Sand Diego State, and UC San Diego.  I visited Austin first, actually and loved it.  Because of money though I couldn't visit many places so I chose to narrow it down to Washington and Texas.  I visited Washington next and LOVED IT.  I love the teachers, the campus and the school.  Texas ended up having a lot more to offer though.  They are top ten in the nation for costume design for one.  They also have a Costume Technology

MFA which means for my extra classes I can take some of theirs!  That includes things like tutu making, armor making, and mask making!  WEEEEEEE! It's also warm there.....lol.  Anyways, I would have rather lived in Seattle with my friends and such but Texas tipped the scale by offering a very large scholarship on top of their fee waivers and TA assistantship.  So, in the end, I went with Austin.  I think it shall be amazing though.  Both were great programs and I'm lucky that I got so many offers in the first place XD!!  Right now I'm just finishing up my last quarter of undergrad! Go Bachelors! WEEEEEEEEE

**If anyone is from the Texas/Austin are and knows a good cosplay/anime/con scene let me know!
