<p>whew I did see the stars now.
OK tech moron people, order of the stars is important. facing right end is the highest. click that for AMAZING!!!</p>
<p>thanks so much for voting!!! I dont think I will get the voting win haha but it was sad only having my votes up there. </p>
<p>Also yes Bears I am a huge chump I cant believe i paid the 80 bucks! Oh well. </p>
<p>Here is a little update:</p>
<p>I finished my apps to SMFA, Brandeis, and Pont-Aven school of contemporary art in france (in pont-aven where gauguin and emile bernard had a little artist colony).</p>
<p>Pont aven called me asap and accepted me for this fall but told me I had to find my own funding and directed me to some scholarship programs. </p>
<p>IDK how i feel about taking off to france in a matter of months, mentally unprepared for that, and change deeply upsets me unless I am thoroughly prepared. Also Pont-aven was fairly insistent and acted as though I had already committed and wanted to set up times to go over my Visa application and everything, so it really caught me off guard. </p>
<p>been painting like a maniac. I sit up at night unable to get to sleep b/c i am so damn EXCITED about my life. cheesy but true</p>
<p>I’m in…BandD is drumming up support. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks BandD and everyone for voting!!!</p>

<p>I don’t see any gray stars to click on. Can somebody place a vote for me? (you can do once every 24 hours according to the rules.)</p>
