    i have always been good... its nice to be forced to practice more often though since the best way to improve is through experience... you also get the advice of your peers through critiques, chances for future career / art world networking, deeper conceptual understand and appreciation, etc... obviously i also get a good chunk of history (getting a minor in that just for kicks) but the bulk of it is studio time and then mandatory education courses

    not sure if its worth the same tuition as someone getting an engineering degree... especially consider half my classes are taught by grad students... but its just what i love and i gotta get through this to get a job in the field...

    id recommend it though for sure if you have the means and the skills

    (ill post a picture of my PJ related final painting as soon as i finish it sometime this weekend... so keep a look out :D )
    that makes ALOT of sense. im intrigued. And i would LOVE to see your painting! i am always afraid to post my stuff cuz there are SO many good artists here.

    At U of I, right? I was an art major there my first year. :) Sometimes I wish I'd stayed in art rather than switching to rhetoric!
    yup! rhetoric?! OUCH!

    i would regret switching too :D though yours is probably more employable....

    what are you doing now for a job?

    I'm not a big liar at all really, but throughout my life there have been instances where i'll say something and it's either not true or it's highly exaggerated, and as soon as it comes out I'm like "why the f*ck did I say that?" never about anything really important, but it's really a disgusting feeling. maybe some people just do that sort of thing to a great extent, it just comes out and they can't help it.

    Oh yeah I have lied before..I think everyone tells a white lie every now and again. It's the pathological liars that are disturbing.

    Jeez...I will stop derailing this thread. Sorry Mods. :eek:

    I don't think you're boring.

    I think I am, though. I'm trying to work on that. ;):D

    yeah I'm trying to work on it too-but I'm having a REALLY hard time figuring out where to start. for past year or so I've been so pissed at myself that I never really learned to play guitar. I know the reasons why now, but it haunts me. everyone loves musicians, it's an accomplishment. and other stuff too- I have no skills or talents, all my interests are just passive- I like *other* people's art, I watch *other* people play sports, etc.

    Well, don't get me wrong. I love writing. I just sort of wish I could have done painting along with it..but the good old U of I doesn't really allow you to do that, do they? ;)

    It is pretty employable, actually. Right now I am actually staying home with a toddler, but before I had her I worked as a marketing coordinator for a big law firm in Chicago.

    I've been really passive with my own talents and interests. It's really irritating and I get so mad at myself when I think about it.

    Well I have aaaallll kinds of art supplies, just sitting in a room in my house, waiting to be used. And I don't do anything with them. I'm actually a pretty good fiction writer, but I haven't fucking written anything in months. Ugh. Now I'm getting mad just thinking about this...lol.

    Well yes you are right. What would be the incentive to stop? Obviously they think they are getting away with it and probably are most of the time. Most of the time they are self-absorbed assholes that don't give a rat's ass about other's feelings.

    and why would they? i mean what is so good about this one ;)
