well, this past week has been funny.. funny because it was the first week of a new semester and yet it felt more like the last week with all my rushing to get things done. But in the past 8 days I've accomplished some substantial things so I'm going to brag about those things now haha.
1. passed my spanish clep test. hardest test of my life but 3 straight weeks of studying paid off. that and I'm pretty sure it was more an act of God blessing my efforts than me actually retaining any of that information :)
2. my senior project from last semester is finalized and ready to be printed! (getting this thing published has been a whole other feat which I'm yet to accomplish) But, good news.. I was able to show my project (which was a media guide for my volleyball team fyi) to my coach for the first time this week and I had some very positive feedback-- always encouraging! (He was 'breathtaken' haha)
3. my resume is updated and ready to be sent out! Getting a resume ready is slightly more demanding for a graphic design major because you have to realize your future employers will be critiquing your layout of your resume just as highly as any of your work you present. So this meant I designed a personal logo for myself to help establish some cohesiveness and a stronger identity for both my resume and online portfolio. I had Joanne from the ERC look over it for me to help catch anything that was wrong or could have been worded better. I'm glad it took me until my senior year to really learn how to use my resources at this school.
4. my online portfolio is in the making! I hope to have it up by the end of the week so I can start sending out applications for internships this summer!!
5. my new camera came in yesterday! Oh dear goodness... it's everything I've ever wanted and more! Believe it or not.. I haven't even had a working digital camera of my own since senior year of high school and that thing just did not last long for me haha. I'm really excited for my digital photography class this semester.
6. I'm amazed at how productive I am while I'm at home compared to living at school. I pretty much work from the time I wake up in the morning (6:30 ish) until I go to bed (10ish). It's crazy. I'm slightly overwhelmed this semester because I feel like I have so much still to learn and so much work to get done before I can graduate and there just aren't enough hours in the day! I've pretty much given up on having any kind of social life this semester but we'll see :)
7. Here's a preview of what's to come!
