So this semester at Cornish seems to be going a lot better. I've just finished being sick on and off for 5 weeks which really sucked, but I worked really hard to not fall behind and it paid off in that I totally eliminated the extra stress factor. :) I feel a lot more confident with my designing this semester, which has given me a nice large confidence boost which feels fantastic after a kinda downer first semester at Cornish.
So I'm uploading the three illustrations I've done so far for my class Illustration in the Market.. bad news about this semester is I don't have a lot of classes that involve actual designing.. two Art History classes

Okay I have finished my first semester at Cornish. It kind of kicked my butt. After LWTC, I thought I knew everything I needed to know about design! Boy, was I wrong. Which is good and bad; I'm dismayed that I truly know so little but excited to learn more.
I will be a junior this fall and have already enrolled in classes; I will be taking two Art History classes, but also two drawing classes: Figure Drawing and Drawing 3, and an Illustration class. I'm excited to go back to the basics; I really miss doing traditional media. It's something I don't really make time for at home anymore.
Anyways hopefully this week I will update this page to b

Sounds nice and chill! I've started leasing Bella and boarding her at KGF, which means I'll be riding in Jill Pierce's program. Kara actually told me not to, so I'm a little apprehensive, but Shannon (who used to ride at Evergreen and owns Bella) works there, which is reassuring. Plus, it's the closest place to get to. I wanted to ride with Meg & Sandy Skafgaard, but they have now moved permanently to Clearview, which is something like a 40-minute drive.
Yea, I'm good friends with Shannon, we were roommates at Mt Holyoke for 2 years 
and rode together at Evergreen before that. She's been working for Jill off and on for a while, but there are some pretty nasty rumors in the H/J world about Jill and her... horses. You can email or fb message me if you want details. KGF is a nice facility, except for the total lack of turn-out, but since Jill doesn't believe in turn-out... I would have picked Hillcrest, I took a lesson with Heidi a few weeks ago and she totally kicked my butt! But in a good way But anyway. Let me know which shows you're going to! I'd love to come and see
