Hey. Studies looking great, as usual. Some really fun stuff going on.
A few words of caution about art schools. Think very careful about which art school you apply to. You may find that what you want to learn, and what they're teaching are very very different.
I've found that most art schools (at least in Australia) have pretty poor drawing and painting programs, in which you'll be teaching yourself more than the teacher will. If you want to go and learn to draw and paint things representationally, or illustratively, then you might be better off at an Atelier.
Good luck, and keep up the good work!
tl;dr Many university art courses teach conceptual art (in the "what does it mean" sense), and not how to make pretty pictures.
