the_huffster | Film School Update

It's official.

I'm no longer a college student. I ended up talking to my mom about film school on Thursday, she talked to my dad and they said if film school is really what I wanna do then I can do it.

So yesterday , me and my mom dropped all my classes that started on Monday and the rest of my summer classes. After today (cos I was already taking a class that ends today), I will a college dropout- I guess that''s the word you would use. Then on Monday I've gotta drive up to the community college, sell back my textbooks, talk to the advisors to make sure my parents will get their money back (since I dropped before the first day of class) and then call my high school and have them send my transcript to the school I'm thinking about going to.

Speaking of that, I was surprised when my parents said that the film school in San Francisco was fins for me to go to (if I get in). And since that school doesn't have parking, I'll sell my car and use that money to help with tuition. I'll get a job on campus so I can have spending money (and put aside 20 bucks to buy a car) and then when I come home for the summer, get a summer job and use that money to buy a car when I finish school.

But this school is just like any other college, except it's purely for artist (writers, directors, filmmakers, musicians, painters, etc.). It's a four year school and at the end of it, I'll have a Bachelor's in Film. And big name companies (Dreamworks, EA Games, Sony, Lionsgate and a bunch more) hire graduates from this school, so that'll help me get a start on my career as a director.

And this school, the Academy of Arts University, is one of the best film schools in the US!

My parents were thinking about letting me go to a film school in London, but that kinda made my brother sad (the fact that he wouldn't be able to talk to me cos of the time difference) so I told them to forget it.

Anyways, I'm going to film school!
