design is like a woman with a hairy back...

gross.

I have just worked for 6 days straight, with nary a break in between. It's sucked. A lot. I managed to get out on Saturday night, but it was lackluster with my brain elsewhere.

Sunday, I managed to go to the fabric store/textile place on the southside. That place was CRAZY - holy crap, crazy crazy crazy - cause crazy, and the only thing crazier is megan's mom, and even this would give that crazy bitch a run for her money. Speaking of her, I should call her - and Megan should bring her to all the graduation crap.

Other than that, I've had to develop a website, print out my portfolio again and put into a completely new format. All while preflighting my article for Made magazine and battling a SECOND cold (actually, I think it's allergies, but pretty bad ones).

I had 2 reviews yesterday for my book - technically 3 if you count my teachers review of my stuff. I hate that class because I feel like he doesn't like certain things that I do and others do, and my grade will be dependent on that - but he assured me that my book will be graded on presentation and quality rather than solely on the work - after viewing my grades, he said I'd be good for the semester - which is good. Seriously.

But the reviews were awesome - I got great feedback from Buzz Co. (somehow BOTH people there viewed my book instead of the normal just one), and the woman from Concrete already had an impression on me as she visited my portfolio class once before. Apparently my cards and logos were striking enough for her to remember me 3 months after the fact - VERY COOL!!!

Oh yea... I got business cards - they're cool. Getting good feedback. I was nervous, but now I love it. After printing, shipping, taxes and everything, it was $40 for 250 of them. I ordered them on Wednesday of last week, and got them Friday of last week. How cool is that?

But aside from my sob story of how busy I am, graduation is in a week and a half. I'm quite looking forward to getting things done and over with. Exciting!!! And by exciting, I mean... uhhh... how do I put this? Relieving? Uhhh. Hrmmm.

I'm so busy getting things done, that I don't have time to get excited about graduating. Is that kinda sad? I think it is... But my god, it will be SO nice to be done with everything and get a job doing something that I like to do. THAT I'm excited about. :-)

I gotta get outta here...

Hey Mikey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I can't attend your party. We're celebrating Mother's Day on Saturday to accommodate the douchebag. Hope you have a great & memorable time, love to you. Juls xo
