I decided to take the prepress internship; it's 2 1/2 months in a field I'm interested in, and even though it is decidedly short, it has room for extension and would be a great start to my career. I would have much more luck with related opportunities afterward, since prepress is the connection between designers and printers, with a heavy dose of ( Read more... )

Straight to the point. I've been realizing that I have very, very consistent trends in my life in different areas that all tie in to each other. Specifically, things that have proven challenges, even if it feels good to tackle them, will be very intimidating for me and I will have a very hard time getting myself to initiate and continue pursuing my ( Read more... )

I have not posted in a long, long time, and I was realizing that I should really write about my story. That is, about the process I've been going through and what it's been like, what it's felt like, and how silly yet engrossing and unique it has been. I'll do that soonish; want to make an outline first so I'm not -quite- as rambly as I normally am

Ugh, so I was trying to sleep tonight and some people outside were arguing with each other, so I wanted to close the window, but the room was too warm so I left it open for Rob's comfort. But, it really bothers me when I hear people yelling. Yea I know that sounds childish, but when is it that we start accepting screaming bloody murder at each ( Read more... )

Well, I wasn't initially very excited about coming home for the summer. I was thinking that mom and I would be driving each other crazy, I wouldn't have anything to do and would be bored off my ass, but, surprisingly, we've been getting along fantastically. I think it's because I've been living with other roommates in college and getting used to ( Read more... )

It was definitely fun when I went to hang out with Allisyn. We tinkered around with Heroes 5, which she ended up loving and copying the ISO from my laptop to hers. She showed it to her dad as well and I have a feeling he'll probably end up getting it. After that we went to a buffet before heading out to see Happy Feet. That movie was just hilarious ( Read more... )

Well, I'm home for the holidays, now! I got kicked out of the dorms on Dec 16th for break (everybody does, it drives me nuts) so I got to stay at Rob's until the 20th (which I really didn't have a problem with). I love staying at his place. I practically lived at his place this quarter anyway, spending maybe one or two nights a week at my dorm. We ( Read more... )

So yeah, lame pun on the title of the story I wrote in highschool. It's not "can't" as in being unable to do something, but rather, "ant" as defined by dictionary.com to be "the phraseology peculiar to a particular class, party, profession, etc.". I wrote it junior year of highschool, then typed it almost all up senior year, doing some minor ( Read more... )

Well, after all that wonderful stuff of band camp weekend I also got temporarily removed from wind orchestra because I'd decayed more than I'd thought, after the summer (combined with my bout of mono last year). So, I'm taking private lessons with the new assistant director, Mr. Woodruff. He's a really energetic guy, and it's so fun to learn from ( Read more... )
