Sam shrugged, "Too bad there isn't really an art school around here." Even if he wanted to do art for a living, which he wasn't quite sure about, he didn't really have the option of going to school for it. It was Hobbs or nothing. His brother had tried and failed to get into art school, and it seemed that everyone else did as well. Sam was not a fan of rejection. So Hobbs it was!
He sat down on the edge of his bed, "Plus there are a lot of really good artists around here. You should see the stuff that Janey does."
