tree

That title has nothing to do with this post - I was just looking at a rubber tree when I typed it.

My last day of school for the semester was yesterday... technically, it was Thursday, but my teacher gave us an extension/due date of Friday - So I worked and worked and worked until the very last minute to try and fix everything with the magazine spreads and get the boxes perfect.

Here's a run-down of everything I had to turn in/do this week:

1) Jenny Craig Ad Campaign - including 4 different storyboards, 4 bus translites, a magazine ad, 3D promotional item, and redesigned website.

2) Mix CD Self Portrait - I had to use typographic elements, and line/computer drawings - no photography, although we could manipulate photos into graphic images, as long as they were manipulated enough for the teachers liking.

3) JunkStyle Magazine Layout - Actually, it was a book layout that I turned into a magazine layout - I had to design the cover, spine, table of contents and a 2-page spread about fireplaces.

4) Minibar | Winebar Identity - I needed to design a logo, letterhead, business card, promotional posters and hiring posters for this project.

5) Minibar Martini Minis Packaging Project - I put together little 5"x5" packages that had little martini glasses in them, with small bottles of booze, promotional items for the bar, etc. I will say that these little boxes are really cute, and i put together 3 of them.

6) Poetry Creative Project Book - I took all the poetry from this website, and put together a little 4.25"x5.5" book of poetry. This is also a cute little item, and allows for me to have my poems chronicaled (spelling?) in some fashion.

7) Literature Class Final - We wrote about Hamlet and Fences. The final actually wasn't hard to do at all, and I'm sure I did well in the class.

So right there you have 7 things which had my back hurting SO MUCH yesterday evening, and my wallet screaming that it's $100 short after all the mounting crap and specialty papers and booze accessories.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get depressed yet or not. Typically, after I go from being that busy, to not being busy at all, I get a little depressed not knowing what to do with myself. However, since I'm looking for a condo, and have so much going on the next couple of weekends, it seems as though I'll be fine - but only time will tell.

Last night I was a bumbling idiot at the restaurant my friend Chad and I ate at, and I'm sure he's weirded out by my antics - I couldn't even focus on anything other than my hurting back.

I was in bed by 12:30am, and slept until noon today - that NEVER happens with me, but it was SO needed.

anyway, i need to eat breakfast, do laundry, clean around the house and get some stuff ready for the party tonight that I'm going to. Good times!

Later!
