Procrastination at its best!!

I have yet to open up word to begin my 10pg Art History paper. I had all good intentions to begin it this morning, but my camera was dying to be let out of its box. I should probably put it out of sight until the semester is over, not to mention it is going to be worse once it's nice outside. I began a One-A-Day yesterday which I'm pretty excited about, I've always wanted to do one and I figured now with my new purchase was a better time than ever. Not only will it be neat to see all the different pictures, but also the progress that I make the more I get familiar with the camera. I'm pretty excited about my pictures today! After I was satisfied with a few shots I threw them in photoshop and messed around a bit! It's always nice to just sit down and create something for yourself no deadline or requirements.

Work Never Ends nor Does the Snow

This week was crazy busy. I felt like I never had a minute to sit and take a breath. Monday was my interview in EC for a graphic design internship. That night I also ended the long journey of researching and finding a DSLR camera to buy. It was a headache to say the least, all last week I had been looking around, but no stores had the one I wanted so I broke down and bought the more expensive one. I have not even had a chance to take it out of the box yet, but can't wait to get out on a photo adventure. Tuesday was an accounting test. Wednesday turned into ANOTHER snowy day, just what we needed! Thursday the sign project was due and another accounting test. And I ended the week with an Art History midterm! Most of the week focused on my sign project it called for many late nights, but considering we started over just a week ago, our group really pushed through and it turned out alright. But what was probably the longest and hardest week of the semester thus far really turned out to be o.k. I GOT THE INTERNSHIP! It cuts the stress of the week and the rest of the semester in half. I will be working at the Eau Claire Press Co. starting at the end of the month and for the summer and possibly into next semester. I could not be more excited, it was my goal for this year to find a internship and gain experience in my field. And what is more exciting than doing something you completely love for the summer and not having to go back to a boring old job! I don't think this post could have enough exclamation marks!!!!!!!! ...I would add another if the snow would disappear!

Spring Break Here I Come!!!!!

I have a week off from school, but its not going to be much of a break from school work or personal design work! I need to get my portfolio, business cards, resume, and thank you cards done and printed! On top of that the Sinage critique didn't go so well today and our group is starting over. 2 weeks to come up with a new design and mockups! READY SET GO!
