-Art school- 5x a week after school, 4-5 hours each day to work on portfolio=** In the beginning of my Junior year, My parents and I finally reached an agreement that I would do Art as my major, so I began attending an after-school art school to work on my portfolio. This took a huge chunk of time for me to do homework/study, so my grades began to fall, and on top of that, my dog was ran over, and I had lots of family issues.. I don't know how I'm going to explain this in my essay- and even bother explaining my downward trend..</p>

<p>Questions:
* even if I did well senior year (which I most likely will- since I won't be doing Orchestra/Golf this year, so I will have less to deal with), will colleges notice that? :/ don't they just look at Junior year? (so in other words..I'm effed.)
* for senior year, should I take more academic classes or art classes?</p>
