Drawing is just a hobby right now. When I'm writing or roleplaying my characters with others, a picture of the scene plays through my head like a movie, just like a good book, and I've always wanted to draw what I "see" but didn't believe I had the skills. I finally decided to tell that little monster sitting on my shoulder telling me such evil things to get lost, I was going to start drawing again anyway lol I'm really enjoying it, though I know I still have a long way to go to be where I'd like to be. It'll come in time 
What many of you have mentioned about art schools doesn't surprise me. I had heard a few things as well and wasn't sure that was really a road I wanted to go down. It's so hard to trust those kinds of places. Even my husband ran into that same issue with a sub-par college when getting his IT degree, however he at least has many years of experience under his belt now...and of course we are STILL paying on his school loans. Not sure I want to add in another few hundred dollars of debt a month to that.
