You're Good Enough, You're Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You.
So it's only been a year an a half. Just like yesterday, right? You still remember me, right? I'm just that jerk who never called. Our relationship is totally not awkward at all.
So for serious now, RALPH NADER, JOHN WATERS AND HELEN THOMAS spoke at my school yesterday for Constitution Day. It was kind of a big deal. It's totally not even noted on my school's website but we all learned a special lesson about freedom of speech and gunt and what happens when you ask "mean questions" in the White House press room. Helen Thomas is even more tiny and sweet in person. IN PERSON. I'm happy it's over because a lot of planning was involved that made me die inside, but it went off without a hitch and all was gravy.
Other things of a kind of big nature, I'm a senior now, of the only employable degree program at my school. (Totally just kidding, that's just what damn near everyone tells me when I whine about it.) The concept of future employment is still not any less ridiculous. Graphic design (my major) has been making me really unhappy for the past year and I haven't enjoyed making work at all, having a honest to goodness portfolio website with no content for the past 2 years is a big glaring sign of that. But I like to think I'm back at a point where I'm willing to keep trying. So the mantra for this year so far has proven to be "Getting Shit Done." [cue high five] Remembering why design doesn't suck also is my current motivator. Moving back to LA probably will not be something in the my future as a graduate, but moving to NYC seems even more insane sometimes, even though I'd love to be there. So basically I don't know what's in store.
That was a little too much daily affirmation, so I'm going to leave it at that for now. What's shakin' everybody?
