Here I sit at 5:30 am having not slept in nearly 24 hours. Please excuse the bad grammar and drool as I fall asleep on my keyboard. I've been up all night writing a 10+ page senior thesis on the effect personal computers and image editing software have had on the graphic design industry. I've also been putting the finishing touches on my portfolio that I have to dry run on Thursday and debut to the world on the 23rd. I'm finally graduating with a BS in Graphic Design after 12 years of off-and-on schooling. A lot of people go to school for 12 years. They're called doctors.
It still hasn't fully sunk in that I'm graduating in less than 2 weeks. I've been cranking full-time work/part-time school steady since '03 when I started at the Art Institute of Portland. I haven't known anything but stress and "go go go" for a while and a change of pace is long overdue. It's going to be nice to free up all that time spent doing homework and attending class. I'm looking forward to quality time with Lady and the kids, playing guitar, snowboarding, backpacking, mountain biking, working out, eating right, and a million other things that I haven't had time for and sacrificed for the past few years.
Lady has been a goddess and a huge support throughout my schooling. Thank you isn't enough to express what she's done for me. Tell her she's awesome when you see her on XBL.
On a side note, we need a second car so I'm going to look at this one tomorrow. I'll drop cash if it's in as good condition as it seems. I love older VW's and I miss my '92 Jetta. It'll be nice having a sporty car again and have a break from the Denim Blue Mica minivan.
