too many disney movies
after watching something along the lines of 7 disney movies in the last two days my brain is mush. :)
but my paper is basically finished. yay!
thanks to parakkum who's been the best sport and helping me edit the darn thing.
now i will move on to my other projects.
why i don't want to be a graphic designer:
"i just feel like i don't have enough time to do the things i need/want to do"
"you just have to make time"
yeah... i can make time... if i sacrifice my physical and mental sense of well-being. :P

you can sit through 7 disney movies? in 2 days? crazy. i was thinking that i don't even own 7 disney movies, and then i realized that i do. from my dvd binge days. ") at least you weren't watching by yourself. i have a theory that watching too many disney movies alone has somewhat the same effect as drinking too many alcoholic beverages or eating too many amazing desserts alone.

actually... i was for the most part watching them by myself. hence the mental mush.
i didn't really have a choice... it was for a paper.
the list:
snow white and the seven dwarfs
sleeping beauty
beauty and the beast
pocahontas
mulan
i just remembered that i didn't watch cinderella and the little mermaid though it felt like i did because i had to write about them.

my paper was on how disney heroines have been changing. it was an interesting read, but there was only so much i could cover with 2-3 pages though, which is too bad since i had much more to say.

Being a graphic designer is like any other profession, if you like doing the stuff anyway, then you'll gladly spend time on it. So you gotta choose a career that you do for fun anyway, if you can. Graphic Designer isn't a good choice for those job-to-pay-the-bills-but-gives-me-enough-time-to-pursue-my-passion kind of job. The suggestion of a former art professor comes to mind: janitorial work. A part of me's thinking that's not too crazy of an idea.

oh. i've never planned on being a graphic designer. just saying that i'm glad i'm not going to be one, since i'm getting a taste of what it's like from my typography class
