I've been thinking back over the past year...I feel very blessed by so many things--I just felt I had to revisit some of those in a photo montage, and sum up these experiences.I owe so much to my friends for helping me get through the rough patches--the times I felt certain the road was blocked irrevocably. The multiple times my cars have wrecked...The eternity it has taken me to get through school...The difficult exams...The difficult professors...The all-nighters with take-out bolstering each other along...The nights we stayed up watching silly movies to keep each others spirits up after a week of stressful family interactions...The dating debacles...The list could go on and on.But the most important thing is: We persevered together and made it out of each scrape mostly unscathed and having learned for the most part that we're better off with each other than going it alone.So this is a HUGE thank you to my friends for always being there.I wouldn't be here without you!
I have a stupendous lack of time...
Actually, I shouldn't say that. I have an enourmous amount of time to devote to projects for my Graphic Design core class, my Typography class...Indesign class...projects up the wazoo (where exactly on the anatomy is the wazoo located? And do animals have them?) and a Midterm today in "Modernism" which is just a fancy name for Modern art history. I swear the only thing I'm paying for in my tuition is the pretentious art-school names for things.
Next thing I can't wait to see is that we don't have bathrooms, male/female Interactive Dadaist art exhibits(if you don't get it...I won't explain.)
Beyond all of that excitement and busy-ness has been a search for a business that would employ the gainfully unemployed moi.
This hasn't been the most glamorous journey, but the end result was a truly remarkable one.
I will be interning for APCO worldwide as their first web design intern. Very exciting this is indeed, as this company works with many worthwile causes and big-name companies.
I'm looking forward to what I can learn from them and what I can do for them professionally.
I'm really nervous about working for such a high-profile firm, but going in as an intern takes some of the initial pressure off, as I will be in this to grow as a designer which can only be a good thing, plus I think I can really do some cool things with the work they will have me doing....
Excitement-I am so stoked about doing something that allows me to work outside the box a bit--and hey...no more Helldesk!
So, I suppose a stunning lack of time will just inspire me to be creative with the time I have.
For instance, right now, I'm writing this post, listening to the new Radiohead album (available for download...), eating a Heath bar....mmmm...Heath....glancing at some pictures for Core homework, petting Ruff (our cat), drinking water, and tapping my feet....
Ah, multitasking.
I need a nap.
