>Take art fundies program to build portfolio before I apply for animation
>Spend my time doing best I can but semester is already almost over.
>It's remarkable how much better at art I've gotten compared to first day.
>Meet Chinese import named 'Jack' for this example.
>Jack is fucking good at art. Really good but only lacks some experience because he's still young. He's only doing the program due to some visa loophole and the programs dirt cheap.
>Slowly befriend Jack, but slowly realise. I'm never going into animation anytime soon. At my rate of progress it'll take me a year or two more.
>We're best friends now, and he tells me I can make it next year.
>I'm doubting myself.

I'm stuck in between Spending 9 grand to move away from home and in with him into a much more dedicated and directly related to animation or simply applying to a bachelor of informatics security and getting a cushy 90 grand a year. Feels bad man.
