[Edit] - I just told my father, and he gives his consent and support :D So it's on. College application process, here I come (again)!


This is going to be a huge, and very scary change for me, honestly. I don't know how many of you know that I've been studying molecular biology here in Florida, but several things have made me start to question my choice. I adore biology (I'm such a nerd - I have an evolution t-shirt on right now! :D) but I have a math dyslexia that's keeping me from doing well in all the other classes (calc, chem, physics...) so it's been destroying my GPA and confidence, honestly. So after some careful consideration, I think I am going to change my major to medical illustration. It still lets me be in the bio/medical world but does't make me study all the stuff I can't handle.

However, since this degree is only offered in a couple universities, I'm looking at a move from sunny Florida to somewhere like Cleveland or Rochester! Talk about cooold. There's one more in Toronto, but nooo way lol. Rochester is north enough as it is. I hate the cold, frankly, so that is going to suck. And I have my life set up in Florida, so I'm really nervous about leaving my friends completely to move up north. I'd just have my dog and my reptiles D: A little scary, if you ask me.

What's worse is that I haven't even told my dad about the switch yet! D: He is already losing sleep because my sister is in fine arts, I think he'd drop dead if both his girls were in art. My mom is fine with it, but I don't know what my dad's reaction will be. We'll see. But I do see myself being happier in this carreer, so I think it's a good move for me.

The benefit to you guys is that you'll see a lot more art as I try to get a portfolio together! :)

Do I draw for other people? Yes I do, but I don't want to take on any more drawings right now because I'm really busy with school work.

Just out of curiosity though, what were you interested in? Because if it's something small I can probably do it. What I don't have time for right now is large, detailed, colored paintings.

Lovely gallery... How's your schedule looking?
:iconalkahla:
Thank you! Adequately busy with school work but I still have a decent amount of free time. Right now I am working on two commissions at the same time, yours and someone else's, but I shouldn't take too long on either. Do you want it by a particular day or do you give me relative free reign?

:icongorogirongut:
No, I was just curious to see if you started getting around to me yet. I hadn't heard back from you.
:iconalkahla:
Oh of coruse, I understand. Feel free to check up on me whenever if you haven't heard from me in a while. Either way, I should be sending you the preliminary sketches soon.
