im making these muffins as best as i can!
Here's a little update on my life for those who care:
School is in full swing and going surprisingly well. Atleast my design classes are. So far I think I've got A's in all 3 studio classes. My Production 2 teacher is my new hero and I love him. Type 4 seems to be a steady confidence booster. I used to think I couldn't compete with the people in my classes but it seems that I've somehow uped my game and now at the top of the class :) and Web Page Design is awesome because my teacher is cool and lets us out early quite often, which is nice because once it hits 7:30 at night, I'm pretty drained and trying to make it to 8:45 is tough. Gen Ed classes can kiss my ass for wasting my time and money. Seriously....I hate them. I think it's because I've got the attention span of a goldfish. I can't manage to sit still AND take notes during these lecture classes. And they all require too much reading. Other than that, yeah, they're great!
The University was closed on Wednesday....it was wonderful to have a snow day. What better way to spend Valentines Day then with my friends, sitting around, watching grey's all day and binging on chocolate and then we went out to dinner because seriously, who needs boys when you've got the best friends in the world? It was amazing, minus the whole blizzard thing. I'm done with the snow for awhile and am ready for some warmer weather. And by warmer, I mean like 30s-40s. That way my nose hairs don't freeze when I'm walking to class.
I've got my first official freelance job, so I no longer have to say I'm learning how to be a designer because by the looks of it, I am one now! :) This past month has made me realize that I need to give myself more credit than I have in the past and that my future [career wise] may not be as rocky and harsh as I'd originally thought. Between this job that I've got now, and the website that I'll be creating in the new 3 months or so and the possible internship I've got for the summer, by the time I'm ready to get a full time design job next spring, I'll have enough experience under my belt to get me a decent entry level job. Looks like I won't be in a cardboard box afterall.
I'm currently obsessed with Mat Kearney's cd "Nothing Left To Lose." He reminds me of a mix of Duncan Sheik, Five for Fighting and Gym Class Heroes. It's definately different and I'm hooked on it. I decided to check out the Dixie Chicks cd since it won so many Grammy's and I'm quite a fan of that as well, although I still think John Mayer should have won Album of the Year.
I love being able to tell when I'm getting sick. That way I can kind of prepare and get some extra stuff done before it's actually due so I can take it easy when I feel like i get hit by a train. My boss advised me to just drink a few gin martini's and take vitamin c. 2 points to my boss for encouraging my bing drinking. Hopefully this is just a cold coming on and not a case of bronchitus or worse, pneumonia. I don't have time for that in my schedule.
And damn, I love these comics. This one is entitled "I'm not ungateful, but I was kinda expecting a strong dude or something." lol.
