i'm busy, so i will just summarize.

i spent over 20 hours busting my butt over a typography project with illustrator. i dropped the course. i found a new typography class that was just after the one i was enrolled in that seems more animator/illustrator friendly instead of catering just to graphic designers.

i'm woefully behind in my schoolwork and won't be getting any sleep until the weekend.

going home from 13-15 to help with and celebrate my sister's birthday belatedly.

i'm feeling a little underaccomplished around some of my contemporaries in class. it's those times that i have to remind myself that i've only been doing art for the last 1.5 years and stop comparing myself to people who've been working at this stuff since high school or earlier. and don't even start thinking of how cool the people who have been in the industry for 10, 20, 30+ years. i need to stop discouraging myself by setting ridiculous standards for myself.

on the plus side, i learned a lot of illustrator within a weekend. :) it makes me look forward to even more classes that i'll be taking in the next few years.

i've decided to take summer school instead of looking for a job for the summer. it'll be better overall for me to learn my stuff and get to work than to putz around with a job that i don't want.

i'm hoping that once the craziness of beginning of the semester is over and i actually caught up with all my classes that i'll have a social life again. it's been hard enough to find stuff for myself to eat.

i have a lot of shit to do and crap to read. interesting shit and crap, but a lot of it nonetheless.

ciao. :)

oh yeah.... i have a hankering for chocolate. nummy nummy! know of any good chocolate places in the south bay area?

seeing how long my "summary" has been, i think you can tell that i've been busy out of my mind. icky. i hate that. i think this is why i want chocolate. :)
