broken camera


So my camera is broken, it first happened at the celtic fest a few weeks ago, but then eventually went away.
I recharged my Sony cybershot DSC-W150 Super SteadyShot yesterday, it took a few pictures, i turned if off, turned it back on, and TADA! Its been doing this ever since. Its really starting to grind my gears 3:<

Yarns

I learned how to knit, and ever since I learned, it's been a havoc.
People wanting ME to make their stuff
People wanting so much
Im broke, and Im busy
Knitting is simple once you get started,
of course it will take practice and some time to get good at it, but it's not a huge goal you can never reach.

People are just lazy.

My friend's birthday is today, and so I made him a scarf

He just walked out of the room thinking its someone else's
..?

Early ideas of future

Yeah Im only a junior but I have to know what Im looking for before I run into a dark alley.
College is around the corner, I still have time, but this is the last thing I want to procrastinate on.

I honestly want to get a BFA in an art college, and as everyone thats knows me, knows its not cheap here. [ive researched]. So Ive looked at becoming an international student in the UK. Its going to need effort, maybe a little bit more than it would need if I stay in the states. But the price is almost 2X less than, say if I went to Ringling. [Ringling in FL. is around 44,700k a year for total cost, and Memphis C.A. is around 34k..the schools Im looking at I have roughly totaled around 25-28k mainly because of the living expenses(having to use currency exchange from GBP to USD is harsh)]
 Ive looked into Glasgow School of Art and Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and some others. Theyve sparked my creativity and imagination.

I was, at first, worried about how my mom would feel of the idea of being almost 16 hour plane flight away, and she said if I was going to dream, I better dream big. My step-mom said that as well and it gave me the hint of comfort and calmness, because thats a huge obsticle to overcome: parents. Im not certain if my step-mom has told my dad yet about my idea, since he is important to me, that I dont feel satisfied with my choices enough to tell him.
My dad is the type of person who would want me to know what im getting into. He would probably want to know how much I know, and why I want to go to the UK to study. I have no clue as to how he will react BUT, I know he trusts me, and my choices enough to see what would be best for me.

I also do think MSA that I am currently attending, will majorly affect my chances, and my luck, and even my skill. I also, will try to apply next year to the UK, mainly because of the area and culture it holds, and also the schools itself and what it can offer. I think It would be best for me, AND my artwork. and I know it will take a visa, money, and a lot of signing, but is it worth it? Hell yes.
