Hey everyone! I'm in a situation where I need £210 to cover rent for my accommodation at uni in 3 days or else I'm out. I'm still doing commissions so if you're willing to help out by commissioning a head of you or a character of your choice, then please hit me up. This is rather urgent.

Hi everyone!

I'm 19 now. I've got things to do so I'm gonna clean up this thing and update it. Gonna keep all the other stuff in the "Pre-2016" folder to make it easier. Hopefully, I can keep up with updating it.

To those I used to talk to, sorry for not being able to keep in touch with you. I've done a lot of growth since the last time I was here so hopefully that shows.

On Wednesday, I went over to the University of Salford (which is also the BBC and ITV site) and I had my first university interview so the teacher knows who I am and tell me whether my work was good enough. I was COMPLETELY terrified considering I had only brought an almost full sketchbook of sketches w/ things such as keyframes and character design and such, and a small post-it note flip animation from November of last year.

It was THE most nerve-wrecking thing I've ever done but I'm happy I went and did it. She talked about how the 2D stuff I had worked on in my sketchbook will actually be used when it comes to projects in class, how she liked how some of the characters were posed to convey an expression (I must thank KiilKannibble for the tutorial. It really helped) and that I have a massive imagination. Also, she mentioned the work places that student get with people from the BBC and ITV which I find really cool.

I have only received a conditional offer from the university, meaning I have to get passed my target minimum grade and above a certain amount of tariff points to get in. I have already passed my minimum grade by getting Distinction grade (the highest grade possible on a BTEC course) across the first 9 units in my first year and have already obtained another 5 on another 5 units from the crazy workflow I had within the first 3 months of my 2nd year (this year) in college.

I, now, need to apply for the loans for tuition and maintenance, as well as scholarships. The majority of scholarships require a person's household to not be earning over £25,000 a year which fits me perfectly as the household I live in currently only earns at least £14,000 a year.

So, all in all, I'm happy with how the interview went, thank you again (KiilKannibble) and good morning, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.

Off to applying for loans and scholarships.

Mars One...

If you don't know about this, you really should. It is one of the coolest things I am signing up for as soon as I turn 18. It's the opportunity to populate and live on Mars and never come back in 2023 and every two years after that.

Skype...

I've recently gotten Skype again because it bored me before and I don't remember my password. Erm... I actually wouldn't mind if I could actually talk to you and see what y'all look like because you're all really cool and a part of a great community so yeah. Add me if you want to. Time zones may be a problem but oh well. Hopefully, I can find time to talk to y'all. ^^

For the time being, I actually don't have a webcam which sucks but I do in fact have a microphone and headset so that's the only way I can really talk to you all ^^

My Skype name is AlConteh1996 ^^
