To Infinity!

I’m laughing at my inability to update this blog through almost an entire year. Yeah, great job, Christine!

I see the header up there needs a little update, too – I’m almost nineteen years old now, unlike when this blog was created (and last updated). I’m not going to go much into what has happened the last year, because even though it represented huge steps for me personally, it is nothing particularly out of the ordinary. I wanted to write a little about what I’ll be doing in the future, though.

15 days from now, I’m moving 5,100 miles from Oslo to San Francisco, to attend California College of the Arts. I’m majoring in graphic design, and I’m nervous, excited, scared, and absolutely thrilled.

I was accepted into three schools total, out of the four I applied to; my application to School of Visual Arts in NYC fell through because I didn’t include enough observational drawings. Of California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CCA, and Savannah College of Art and Design, the hardest choice to make was between the two former.

Fuck, I pondered the pros and cons for a month and a half, before I finally decided on CCA. The decision was based mostly on money and location. I’m still not sure I’ve made the right choice. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

I’m hoping to get more use out of this blog over the next few months (years?) as I adjust to life on the other side of the pond. More to come.
