i opened up my book called "design" by tom peters to a page that said
who are you?
why are you here?
how are you unique?
how can you make a DRAMATIC difference?
who cares? (do you?)
got me to thinking about things.
and then, after a long ranting and raving (about how every minute of
every day is always booked and i feel like summer is slipping between
my fingers already, and it hasnt even started) to this one guy i know...
he says
nows the time where you REALLY figure out who you are. who you're
going to be... you have every right to be a little self-absorbed because i
think its needed. if people arent understanding of that, thats their problem.
sighhhhhh.... relief. good to know someone out there gets me.

welcome to growing up
may 8 2010
graduate college
may 9 2010
sleep all day... for like.... a week please?!
may 10 2010 - ?
try to figure out what to do with the rest of my life
"this is my one and only life, And its a great and terrible and short and endless thing, and none of us come out of it alive. I don't have a plan..."
except to be extraordinary and brilliant and not make excuses or apologies for who i am and what i bring to the table. to go the extra mile. and not stop when im tired. not even stop when im done.
i really think if i push myself, i can accomplish just about anything i want to accomplish.
so for now. im going to plug away at my portfolio. and i need your help. i know i might want to sleep all day or go to the beach every day or just sit around and do absolutely nothing. but if you ever see me doing any of those things.... kick me in the shins. tell me i have better things to do. and make me get to it!
thank you all for ALL the love and support, the cards, the words of encouragement during those crazy multiple all nighters in a row, million cans of mt dew amp scattered around my apartment. mostly... thank you for believing in me more than i could at sometimes :) i love all ya'll!

look what you have missed!
so senior show...
basically took up my life all last week, then all weekend
monday rolls around, 3ish in the afternoon, and here we are about 24 hours away from the opening reception. email from professor titled "warning shot" and in a nutshell telling krystle and i that we weren't supposed to go above and beyond. too creative. too big. too awesome. if you don't trim it down to 40 by 64, roughly a foot in each direction, give or take, then she will do it for you by noon on tuesday...
the stages of mondays rant:
1. panic... no air getting to lungs... zomg im gonna pass out
2. cry... like a baby. a tired-i-havent-slept-or-eaten-in-a-longggggg-time
3. violence... grab exacto knife, start pacing up and down the halls, looking for revenge
4. calm, collected, reason. call head of the program.
end of story... we still had to trim our displays down. uncool interior design department. its ironic that the senior show would encompass everything that is wrong with that program. a bunch of power tripping professors wanting things their way. a bunch of bitchy girls complaining that "well i didnt know we could do that" ok youre right, i should be punished for thinking creatively since you for some odd reason were unable to. welcome to the real world kiddies. your useless 11 by 17 pieces of paper with everything in the right place have been seen OVER and OVER and OVER by employers and im gonna let you in on a little secret.... THEY ARE SICK OF IT!
[switching gears]
you should all check out the interior design senior show. 5th floor of KCAD (17 fountain street NW), room 527. and check out the other floors too. lots of great art. congrats to fellow seniors. i look forward to walking with all yall on saturday.
mmk im sleepy.
goodnight
xoxo
