miami ad school

i’m currently working on my application to Miami Ad School. I want to go to the San Francisco school. After working as a designer for more than 10 years and going in circles, it’s time to up the ante and take out massive loans to finally invest in myself so that I can get on track to becoming the best Art Director – the best REAL Art Director – that I have in me. I’m excited and scared at the same time. At 33 it’s going to be a lot more challenging than it would have been at 23, but I’ve never wanted anything so much in my life. The crappy part is that I wasn’t sure that I was going to apply until the beginning of Oct 2007 – and now it’s New Years’s Eve, and I need to mail the very extensive application by Jan 11 for it to arrive by the deadline for April admissions. Between making my decision and now, I’ve faced many challenges – dumped by the man who I THOUGHT was my true love; moved from NYC to my hometown 300 miles away where I had to get a new job paying less than half of what I was making before, and a new apartment, and all that stuff. Then Thanksgiving came, and then Christmas and New Years, delaying progress on my application. Now tomorrow I need to apply for the financial aid since Jan 1 is the first day to do it, and I know that I’m pushing it for the April 9 start date to have everything in order. I’m still working on the app for Jan 11 but probably won;t be able to go until the July start date, which wouldn;t be so bad, but also just one more delay in starting the next phase of my life. Sigh. I just can’t wait until I am there already!!!
