SCAD update

I have finally submitted ALL of my stuff for my grad school application to SCAD!! For those of you who don't know, SCAD is Savannah College of Art and Design. It is one of the most prestigious art institutions in the world. I will hopefully be studying photography there starting in March 2012. I also hope to study some cinematography, because you all know how much I LOVE movies, and mixing photography and movies would be AWESOME!!! :D Also, je parle francais et il y a un campus de SCAD en France!!!  
So now that I have submitted everything, I just have to wait for them to make their decision. JUST isn't the right word since I have no idea where I will live if I don't get in, and I will have applied to no where else. BUT most grad school will only let students start in the fall, so I'll still have until Feb to apply to other school. SCAD is just my top choice. Hopefully none of that will have to happen because my awesomeness will stupify the admissions board and they will have no choice but to accept me to their program and give me a full scholarship!! Here's to wishful thinking!!   

For class: Response to Dulcitius by Hrotsvitha

As most of you know, I am not a religious person. One of the major reasons for this is that conventionalized religion was invented by man, and only spread because the leaders of certain countries couldn't govern their people properly so they adopted a religious belief that would make the people govern themselves.

With those thoughts in mind, I have read Dulcitius. This is a play to be performed in church. As such, it screams moral guidelines, and overly values and promotes purity and virginity. The “miracles” that this play encompasses present a false security; that God will watch out for those who are pure and obedient, which, as most people know, is not the case. As the saying goes “bad things happen to good people.” This play is an unrealistic attempt to get an illiterate audience to understand that they need to be good, and keep their daughters virgins. What this play also does is show that if you follow your physical desires you will be punished. Dulcitius tries to molest the girls, even though he doesn’t, he is still humiliated and beaten. This tells the illiterate audience that if you try to do something bad, you will not be able to do the deed and you will be punished after you fail; a very negative message against following your natural instincts. (*Disclaimer: I am NOT condoning molestation, simply making a point using the play’s events)

I do not believe that people should be force-fed morals. For the most part, you have them or you don’t. Very few people don’t know the difference between right and wrong; those who don’t or don’t care are psychopaths, and need psychiatric attention. If you live your life in a compassionate and generally respectful way, you are a good person and will be treated thusly. However, if you are a bad person and do not treat others well, or take advantage of others, you will not have a healthy or quality life, and that is punishment enough. 

Officially the Worst Blogger EVER!!

That's it, I take the cake. Maybe it's because I'm busy, or maybe I just don't care that much, but I never can seem to remember that I need to update my blog...for all 3 of my avid followers. 
Update:
* I still need to apply to SCAD to get my MFA in Photography
* (PLUS) My new life goal is to go to SCAD and become a famous Cinematographer
* I hope to get into the study abroad at the France campus in La Coste Fr
* My sister and I might be renting to own a 5 bedroom 2 bath house in Savannah (if our trip goes well this weekend, that'll be it's own blog, it's a major fixer-uper!)
* It's looking like this site may become geared more towards my photography then my plays, but I hope to be able to continue to work on both


That's about all I've got for now, I should hopefully remember to post something up here after my trip this weekend, and if I can figure out how, I could post some pix! :D Thanks for reading, if you are...
