it's been a little bit...

oops. where is my time going? honestly, it doesn't feel like 17 days have gone by since I updated this thing... is it some kind of rule that as you get older your perception of time goes faster? I remember a time when a day felt like a week and I had all the time in the world for whatever I wanted to do. Now I can hardly find the time to get all my "have to"s done let alone any play time. Every couple of days I'm reminded that I graduate in just over a year... and only just now am I starting to realize what I want to do, after all this time in school...Luckily it's still within where my education is going...In fact, this semester is really shaping me and my goals

Through Cultural Anthropology, Experience Frameworks and Reading for Ideas, I'm realizing I want to get into Experience Design of some kind. I'm interested in people's perceptions of events, how people filter information to fit their frame of thinking. I have no idea how to go about getting into this...but I have some leads I think... The good news is that I think this field will become a huge part of how businesses pick themselves back up out of this economic muck. Plus, I have a feeling that if I can get into this field and get good at it, I can convince an employer to send me back to school periodically to update my knowledge and ideas...*crosses fingers* Basically my plan right now is to graduate next spring with a BS from MCAD, find an awesome job in the above explained field and find a way back to MCAD to get a BFA to enhance my craft...Then eventually when MCAD wises up and creates a Masters program for the Libral Arts kids, I'll go back and get that too, for kicks and giggles...and because I can't get out of MCAD, I love it too much.

Hopefully that's a sound plan...and it happens...or I find something that works better... we'll see.

Classes are going well. I still love them all which is impressive for being over a third of the way into the semester...yikes! that's crazy...a third of the way done...where's my time???

I have some art to put up as well as some pictures from the Arboretum when Bryce and I went there on sunday...beautiful Orchids!!! oh my goodness...amazing! I'll try and put them up tonight but right now I have to start watching Existenz for Experience Frameworks paper due thursday...whee! I'll try and make myself update more often..but the good news is that by not spending time here updating, I'm using my time for homework...most likely.

It is about time you posted!

You can't graduate in a year, I am not ready with your quilt. That is final.

My other friend Amber was denied her student loans last semester, and is very likely not going to see any money coming from the bank to pay for school next fall. Apparently, the bank claimed independents who got to art school are not qualified for the money because going to art school is obtaining a true education.

They felt she could never pay the money back. I was upset when she told me this, but she may be exaggerating a little as well.

Wouldn't doubt the bank's opinion though... bastards.
