no matter how hard i try to fight it, i like High School Musical because i am a 21st century teen whose attention span can be held with relatively short films having unrealistic teen-life based plot lines, catchy (or cheesy) original lyrics, and a varied selection of cute boys. i saw High School Musical 3: Senior Year on its debut friday and wasn't one bit disapointed. being toward the end of my teen years, i am not quite enthralled with Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez) as are the 7-14 year olds who also revel in HSM's cult-like glory, but the balance between cute-boy scenes and mushy girl scenes was good enough to allow me to enjoy this film. stars Zac Efron (Troy Bolton) and Corbin Bleu (Chad Danforth) kept me on the edge of my seat with their unbelievable good looks, coreographed dance routines, and sweet voices. as for the females, Ashely Tisdale (Sharpay Evans) never fails to deliver an exceptional portrayal of the ultimate high school bitch, who always fails but finds herself in the end. all in all, the movie was entertaining and slightly relatable because i too am a senior and will be "going through the same things".
yesterday i went to San Francisco with my dad for California College of the Arts' preview day. it was a great experience to finally see all of the SF facilities and really learn about the programs. the chair of the graphic design program talked to us about the specifics of the program and i'm so excited and remotivated to try hard. my dad got a reality check about the cost and i think that he is willing to realistically try to find a way to make this work. now its back to the drawing board, literally to make an exceptional portfolio, write a high quality essay, and get my application filled out all in time for the feb 1st deadline so that i can be considered for a merit based scholarship.
