I just had my mum drunkenly go on about me wasting my life by going to university instead of doing an art foundation which angers me as I really really want to go to uni more than anything else. I generally enjoy art but I hate the idea of having to spend every day doing it, living in London whilst all my friends have left, and being told what to do. Usually when people tell me what to do I do it, but when it comes to art it infuriates me and I try every possible way to do it differently.
It took me long enough to decide what I wanted to do, and I am sooo happy doing German and Chinese, but constantly having people yapping at my heels about art is seriously driving me maddd. I have concepts, just not the skills AND SKILLS IS WHAT GETS YOU FAR IN ART. I don't know how to work a camera, I cant do graphic design, I cant paint for shit-If I was an artist I'd do a Damien Hirst and get other people to do my ideas for me. Also, lets be honest, how many people doing art actually make it big? My friend Lee has this mad crazy love for art and I wish I loved it as much as her, I can actually see her getting somewhere with it, as she not only has talent, but also ideas. My mum said she's be willing to let me live on my own somewhere as she assumes the only reason I'm going to uni is because I "want to escape home". Yes, I might not have the best time at home with my family all of the time, but I'm not moving away because of it. I'm moving away because I want to go to Nottingham and experience uni life. I love London and everything that comes with it. I realise that up north they won't be interested in the same stuff as me, but then again it's pretty difficult to find foetus/blood/anything gross-loving people, and whilst I agree that in London I probably fit in more with that, I don't want to spend my entire life living here. If I really hate living abroad or whatever I can always move back.
I am just incerdibly annoyed that she constantly tells me how I should be doing art, as if im totally thick. I KNOW im not stupid, I may not be book smart but I like to think I can sustain a conversation and be interesting even though I dont know everything about quantum physics and the government policy in Yugoslavia. I would LOVE to be clever enough to know all of that but I'm not. I can do languages and art, and whilst that may not seem like the most "clever" option I know its something a lot of others cannot do. I know my mum just assumes I can do German because I'm Dutch along with loooads of other people, but I AM NOT BEING NAIVE, I can do it and can happily say I have the brains to do it. Just because I act like a total retard doesn't mean I am one.
I know this whole post with all the bad punctuation, wording etc. isn't making me out to be the smartest person, but I am just soo frustrated. I ideally want to work in event planning/fashion buying and I know for a fact languages will benefit me more. I'm just going to do a portfolio for her andf apply to do art foundation as firstly a backup option, and secondly to stop her from making me feel like I'm failing.
