I'm going into 2D animation as well as storyboarding and I will be a freelance illustrator on the side. I've had two teachers tell me that I should be an illustrator, so I'm going to follow their advice. (: My degree is technically Media Arts and Animation, which covers a wide spectrum of jobs that I could potentially take on. I'm also taking classes for Claymation. I'm hoping to work on both movies and cartoons.
Of course, if I never stop being a student I never have to finish paying off loans. Haha, but still I'm gunning towards career and not just a job. I don't think I can continue going to college for the rest of my life, might end up teaching at the school I currently attend (that's what's happened with a lot of the teachers at my college, they do some work in the field and then end up teaching cause they come back and take a few other classes and become super-pros).
As for the holidays, I'm just going to spend it with my family and my boyfriend. I can't believe my aunt talked him into coming up for Christmas Eve! I love my aunt so much, it's very exciting cause I have a little difficulty inviting him to family events because he doesn't feel invited by the family. Which is silly, cause I'm apart of the family and I'm inviting him. But other than that I'm moving to a new apartment, bringing my kitty up from home at long last, living with my boyfriend, and waiting for next term to start.

Yeah, I guess it has been a long time, hasn't it?
I miss highschool- we were all so carefree and worryfree- and didn't bother with homework until the class before it was due lol. 2D animation- that's like creating movie graphics and such, correct BT? As in- cartoon type movies? I originally wanted to go into graphic designing, but feared I wouldn't have enough inspiration- so I went to school for a Vet Tech instead. Was a very very stressful 16 month program up north, but it got me my job in a clinic for a year now :] We've been blessed to stay so busy, where other clinics see maybe 4-5 clients a day and have to make financial cuts. I'm actually thinking about getting another part time job though (since the one I work now is only part time, even though I feel like it's a full time job), just because I've been saving up to pay off my loan, and what I currently make won't be enough to rent out an apartment alone.
My Holidays- I'm working lol. A double on Christmas and the weekend following. We never go anywhere anyways, nor really have family visit. But also, I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled the week before, so that's going to suck (my dental insurance expires at the end of the year, so it had to be done before the year ends).

Yeah, think Balto or Jungle Emperor Leo (or Lion King), or cartoons that air on TV like Scooby-Doo and Phineas and Pherb.
And you should be thankful that you have a job. No one is hiring where I live (or at least not hiring me)... I can't even find anything to pay for an apartment. I'm living off child support that my dad sends. I'm hoping to find something soon though. Just sent out another round of resumes and applications.
