Letter From the Future
Dear future Allen,
2014 will start with lots of classes and you will need to keep after them, you will As and Bs again and graduate Floarts in April with Erika . You will also hold your gallery job till the end of summer semester, and a Venue will accept your plans for the painted room screen at One Spark 2014. You will receive enough to start work on your screen and sell it for a healthy profit. The proceeds will go partly you own college fund for study abroad in 2015, the other portion will go to funding next year's screen, and a small celebratory gift to myself! 2014 will end at UNF in the Art History and BFA degree path. It will be alot of work but keep up the work it will pay off!!
2015 will be a good year you will have made money and freedom with it. You are the assistant to the gallery at UNF and you have started the scale drawings to this years room screens! You also bought the Honda Accord. Watch your grades, because this is the year of reckoning, all your plans and money saving will pay off with a month and a half study abroad to Italy, in which you will also visit the French Riviera and Monte Carlo. This year will end with a bang!
In 2016 you will sell your second painted room screen further adding to your savings and ( celebratory gift!) funding of future projects. One of those projects will be a HD making of video for Youtube. You will employ a filmographer so it will be professional and fun. You will also further your education with your BFA and Bachelors in Art History. Your will transfer to UF and pay for the first year on your own, Although you will find a part time job or two because you Will Not take out any sort of loan, pay in cash. You will start on your third screen and sell quicker now that you are gaining steam. The combined proceeds from previous years will allow you to pay cash for a cottage in the suburbs; FREEDOM at last!!
In 2017 you will furnish your cottage with Restoration Hardware, and landscape it. Your grades are good but the masters degree path is rough and you will spend alot of time in the library and in study groups. Your job is going well but is stressing you out and keeping you from studying as much or having plenty of free time. Never the less you plan for another room screen and when you sell it you buy a second cottage and rent it out, financial stress no more! (somewhat)
2018 Will bring your Masters in Art History and you will need to move to New Haven CT. to attend Yale's PhD program. This will be a stressful year, your brother will have to care for the two rental cottages for you and you will use the money to fund your education and living expenses for the year. You will plan for a room screen this year but you wont start on it till next year. You will need to be on your toes and make As on everything. In summer 2019 you will move back to Florida and get a job teaching as an Adjunct, you will finish your dissertation and be forever known as Dr. Allen Ball!!
Good luck, work hard and keep your eyes on the prize!
