The weekend has come to a close. It is midnight on Sunday night and all my weekend consisted of was homework, homework, and more homework. :-/ Thankfully this is my final semester EVER in college. it has been a long 5 1/2 years and I am excited to be done.
I guess the only "fun" thing I did this weekend was see "A Clockwork Orange." I might be one of the few who hadn't seen it yet and let me tell you it is not worth it. Besides it being weird, it makes no sense and is more disturbing than anything. I am still baffled how it is a "cult classic." I saw "Pulp Fiction" a while ago and that as well made no sense and I was not fond of. How is it these cult classics are so popular?
Well I'll leave you with that (assuming there is a "you" reading this). Back to work and school next week. I'll just keep thinking " I am almost done with school, I am almost done with school, I am almost done with school." Maybe if I click my heels 3 times saying this it will happen? It's worth a try.
See ya,

6-19-2010
Today is the first day that I am going to start writing down what I do from day to day, or even week to week. I have noticed that as I am getting older (I am 23) I am forgetting more and more about what I did over the weekend, what I did during the week, and yes, what I had for breakfast that day. I know 23 isn't that old, but there was a time in my teens that I could tell you every single teacher I had from school (kindergarten and up), what I had for breakfast at the beginning of the week, and a lot more. So this is why I am starting to write down what I do. I know I am busy, and stay busy, but doing what seems to be the question. When people ask me "how was your weekend?" I can remember a little bit, but there are times when I don't know what I did for a whole day (this happened to me recently).
Today is Saturday the 19th of June in 2010. I saw Toy Story 3 in the morning (cute movie-but not worth seeing in 3D), and then I went to my parent's house to celebrate father's day (my sister has to work on father's day so celebrated a day early). I came home-and this is where my mind becomes blank. I think I just hung around the house and surfed the web. Nothing too important. I am taking a summer school class (pre-calc, bleh :-/ ) and so started on my hw. One section down, 2 more to go. I had dinner, and now as I am typing this I should be getting back to my hw.
I am sure no one will really find this interesting, but this is for me to record what I am doing on a day to day basis so I can look back and know what I wanted to accomplish but didn't, or if I put down a note for myself to remember something, here is where it should be.
It is about 8pm now, so I am not sure how much more I will get done before I go to bed, but my plan is to finish hw, and start on a mock-up for my professional portfolio. I have a personal site, but I feel like I need to make it more professional (I am still in college, graduate december 2010 yay! and am going for web design/graphic design). I am also currently reading a book called the "non-designer's design book" which is good because they show you so many examples and teach you rules to follow, etc. Right now I am in the color section of the book, so want to finish reading that before I start on my website re-design. I also have a friend that wants me to help build her company website (contract marketing), and she gave me some design ideas, but I am waiting to hear back if she wants me to create my own stuff, or if she just wants me to create what she already came up with. I don't want to waste time and effort doing something I don't even need to do. Then by the end of the night I am hoping to finish this book I am reading called "Gone" my Lisa McMann, and it's the last of the trilogy. It's a fast paced read and a series I highly recommend.
If anyone comes across this and has any suggestions for a website, how to become a good designer, etc that would be most appreciated! :D I am looking to find a full time job once I graduate and as of now I have so much to learn, any advice from a designer or even someone still in school to become a designer would be good.
Bye for now,
