[Artless and very important] PLEASE HELP, ADVICE WANTED

If you are from my current school, you might find this offensive, but your advice would be good too.
If you are from IT High School Exupery (The Little Prince), please read on, I really need your advice, ok?♥

いらっしゃいませ、そして。。。
Ok, so I moved to an art school, right? Some of you might find this rather prestigious and quite an achievement, but that means you're foreign, because things are a bit different than in Bulgaria.
Now, I've been to public schools and I know that even the greatest ones only have their big names left. I've been to one of the (supposedly) best, so I know.
So I didn't expect things with the Art School I'm in right now to be different, but I'm here with the ambition to study animation later on. They don't offer animation here, so I thought I'd graduate with Illustration and have two options - zoology or animation later on.
But still, I don't think I can go on with any of these if the general subjects aren't covered, and well... My English teacher can't speak English, my IT teacher says 'hotmail' instead of 'html' and my Bulgarian teacher reads the lessons out of our textbook.
Also, this year they have changed the headmaster. This one only cares about the musicians. One of my upperclassman friends told me she found drawings from six years ago which got Fs, but something like that is considered worthy of an A nowadays. The same friend was just drawing in one of the studios when it started raining and it started to leak into the room. Joy.
Also, we're in the same class with some ballerinas.
I thought they would be beautiful, graceful people. Silent and gentle. Instead, they are loud, noisy, stupid and mean. Well, most of them. There is one who DOESN'T shake the ground when she walks, she's sweet to everyone and she's clever too. It's like she compensates for everyone else. The bad thing is, she's one and they're 7. The artists, who were shy and seemed sweet, started behaving just like them. They're annoying and some of them can't draw either. There are some girls who are actually pretty nice. Also, there's a girl who used to be one of my closest friends in Elementary school (grades 1 through 4). I wouldn't mind, but she's a tad bit superficial and incredibly clingy. She's never switched schools before, so she clings to me. She never studies though :< (I don't know why I'm saying that, it just bothers me to see someone intelligent who is pretty much killing their wits). She made more friends than me, but she's almost always sticking to me. I wouldn't mind it if I wasn't a bit of a loner wolf who likes her privacy. Curse my introvertedness.

So as you guessed, I am considering going back to Exupery/The Little Prince. But I am really scared to do so, too. Their level of education is wonderful, and I appreaciate that very much, but I'm not sure what will happen with my wish to study animation. Even so, they specialize in languages and IT and their entire staff is very creative and open to new options and ideas, so I wouldn't be surprised if they offer me something. They strive for the top after all.
Also, I definitely prefer my classmates from that school. But I'm scared because one of them has a great singing voice and used to be in my current school. She was there for 5 months or so and then came to this one. She actually tried to convince me not to go... I think I should have listened to her. She's very sweet, but still, I'm worried about the "HAHA, TOLD YOU SO" thing that happens in most schools. Maybe I'm too scared people judge me, but I have been a victim of that for so long, I just stopped trusting people with that. I'm afraid the others might join in too.
Still, I'm seriously thinking about going back there.

Have you ever watched Don Bluth's 'Anastasia'? It's full of wonderful songs, one of which is called 'Journey to the past' and has a line which I particularly like and identify with:
People always say 'Life is full of choices', no one ever mentions... fear......

So I need your advice desperately. I'm very uncertain about this, so some feedback will be appreciated, ESPECIALLY if you're from Exupery/TLP, but anyone's advice is welcome!

Thank you very much!

P.S. My tablet is back, so expect an update with art to compensate!

Back by demand

やあ~
Missed me? Probably not, I only have two followers anyway, haha!
But today one of them asked me to update my blog and I couldn't help it, since she's just so sweet! Thank you very much for being there for me ♥

To those of you who were actually concerned about my friend issue (Aww, thank you very much):
I'm just trying to accept things as they are, so I'm just acting like nothing happened to her and even though she's not like she was before, I think I'm getting used to it, so rest assured, I'm absolutely fine~ Thanks to the sweethearts who were worried so much about me, I love you very much ♥♥

To be honest, I was indeed asked to write this blog post, but I don't have all that much to say... So I will open up a topic about art!
What kind of art do you like? Is it in the form of drawing or performing something? Do you like doing/drawing it or just seeing it? Why? Your opinion is important to me!
I, myself, love all sorts of art, it's all beautiful in its own way and each type of art can inspire another! You have no idea how many of my drawings have been inspired by books, music, ballet, even opera!
What about you? What inspires you?
Please tell me! ( ゚ー゚)/♥
It will also help me draw art that you will like more in the future! My tablet is still broken, but I hope that this can be fixed soon!

Also, Halloween is coming up! Are you going trick-or-treating? In my country, most people are Orthodox, so they don't celebrate it, but I made up an outfit and I hope my mom agrees to help me sew it! It's a witchy lolita outfit... I'll post pictures if I get it done, ね! (^o~)b I may celebrate it with my friend... Decoarting, drawing and eating candy, ahaha! And a sleepover, hehe (≧∇≦)

Other than that, life's been pretty melancholic for me... But a blog posted by a friend made me think...
She said that when she goes out of the house, she "puts on a mask" of a sort, she isn't her true self...
In fact, that's the same way I've been feeling too '_' Why is it that the world wants us to be all the same and pushes our uniquness? I wish to know... Perhaps this is why I've turned to lolita in the first place - When I accomplish my goal of being a lolita not only in manners but in looks too, people won't only notice by my behaviour, but by my style that I am someone different, unlike them, and not afraid to show them... I am a child, a lady, immature and mature at the same time, I am something that they cannot comprehend, yet something that's so simple! Like the Prince and the Pauper, in this world of princes and princesses, I am a pauper dressed as a prince, tagging along in their game, yet not fit to do that job...

I would like to stop keeping you busy with something as pointless as my personal life, but I want to share something more...
I have found the wonderful Japanese singer Rurutia (ルルティア)... She has such a beautiful and mysterious voice, her songs have so much feeling to them, they make me cry (be it happy or sad tears)! Please listen to some of her songs and tell me what you think too!

So then, that would be it!
Bye bye!
