Location, location, location
Things have been kind of crazy over the last year. It was my final 2 semesters of college and I was taking the University Scholars track in addition to everything else. I must say that I am proud of completing my degree and even prouder to say that I graduated Summa Cum Laude. All made possible by the support of family and friends. We ( Read more... ) -
Internships
Internships are a great way to learn valuable skills and to practice what we have learned in school. Great words but so very difficult to put into action. I am sure that those of you who are pursuing creative careers that you have been frustrated by our options. I must say that I have only made progress with one such opportunity thus far. Not ( Read more... ) -
35th Annual CIFF
That is to say I have been volunteering at the 35th Annual Cleveland Film Festival for the past week. The festival takes over the entire Tower City Theater. It is downtown within spitting distance of the Cavs' and Indians' stadiums. That made parking difficult for a few nights but the staff seemed to have that completely under control. We set ( Read more... ) -

School Update
I haven't talked about the classes I'm taking in a very long time because they take up all of my time and whats left over is sucked up by other software programs. Not always Facebook or My Space, but Adobe CS5 Production suite and my Avid Media Composer. I need to update my MC to version 5.5. I know, I'm slacking, but my current class requires ( Read more... ) -

Returning to the world of Academics
I had forgotten how much crap the powers that be put you through just to gain admittance to a local college. Yes, I has officially completed the application process. Really, it only took three weeks! Yeah, I know... But there was this essay and I had to explain why now, and what happened when I dropped out 10 years ago, what I have been doing ( Read more... ) -
Talking about crazy
There are days when I think I am going crazy and other days when things go so well. This past week my kids were with us and we had a good time. My daughter thinks she is 18 already and my son is saying everything that pops into his head. I can't say be quiet please because I am so thrilled about how much work his vocal cords are doing at long ( Read more... ) -
The steed has been released
Well, I have been trying to sell my car for the last month. Had hoped to sell it for 3500 ended up settling for 1900. Very sad and yet glad to have let that part of my past roll on outta 're. I drove my kids around in my little red car since they we're 2 and 3. My husband helped me pick it out before we were married. It has a cop target the ( Read more... ) -
