an early birthday present

[gramcracker]

So I realize I haven't written a substantial update in this here journal in a long time. I've been twittering and facebook status-updating so some of you know this already but check it:

I've been accepted into the Master of Arts in Graphic Design program at NESAD. I'm gonna be a grad student

Wow! Congratulations! That's really exciting. I hope that financial aid is able to come through with a good deal for you.

fraterrisus has just gotten involved with roller derby (as a ref, no less) - do you want me to put you in touch? (It would probably be through LJ, as I don't think I have an updated email for him

Hey, I met that guy in Boston when I worked the penalty box for the Maine vs. Boston bout! Yeah I should definitely get in touch with him, if we have Rek in common also.

I would love if you'd post on your journal that I'm looking for housing & work. I don't want to plan on weekdays-only, because there will probably be times when I have to stay in town to get work done on projects. I'm hoping for a June 1 move-in date, since the summer program starts June 5.

I'd love if you could share the link to my Etsy site, too. I'm going to humbly ask all my friends with blogs to spread this link around: http://MGChains.Etsy.com - if I can start making money there it'll make everything so much easier.

Cool! Definitely get in touch with Ben; he's a nice guy, and knows a lot of people.

I'll make a post about you right now :). Good luck with housing - I know moving sucks, but if you're willing to do it twice, you might have good luck finding a summer sublet, and then moving some place more permanent in September. (Boston leases mostly run from September to September). There's a also the b0st0n community, which, while full of crazy violent snark, is also full of a lot of knowledge.
