Thinking, Thinking Part 2
I know I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to study. Now, I feel I can't make the right decision on which school to choose.
I have an interest in Photography, but the University in my city only has Journalism and a study called Studio Art.
In Journalism, I can learn about Photojournalism, but that's not what I want to do. It seems to be all about the news and reporting. But, I want to be able to take photos of scenery, maybe some portraits, but especially involve art and design.
The Studio Art program the school offers, would only cover a little bit about photography. But, I feel I may work with it to design my own program about Photography. I'm not too sure how that would work.
My other choice of a school to go to is The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Today, I looked and checked every link and have learned about the school. What's new about this college is that it's an Online Division of the Art Institutes; basically 100% online.
But, I find it odd to plan to attend that school because I do not live in Pittsburgh. And also, I just don't see how learning Photography would be like over the Net. But, I do know, I'll be getting lots of support from the faculty and staff.
I'll need to act quickly about this, because the FAFSA form must be completed by Valentine's Day. I kind of regret not thinking of what I really wanted to do after graduating from high school. My family thought I'd make a great Graphic Designer. I though so too, then I later realized my drawing skills were amateur.
Web Design was interesting to me back in eighth grade; last year it wasn't all that fun. When I first got my digital camera, I loved it. I'd take it everywhere with me. I feel that's an interest/hobby that could become a passion of mine.

Whatever you decide--I think you should make it something you'll enjoy doing. I'm sure you'll make a good choice....you at least have some plans and ideals in the making. That's ONLY two cents worth from MIISRAEL. [SMILES]
