Wedding Day Countdown: 178
so sorry
I’m a terrible person for not keeping this thing up.
This semester has been absolutely nuts! Full of all nighters, fundraisers, lots of computer work and a variety of movie-homework marathons. School-wise, its been the most challenging semesters of my life. Life wise, its been absolutely wonderful. I still am waiting to find out about how my review went, which is challenging on so many levels. But here is some of my work from the semester
Final Poster
Designed for the Children’s Book The Hundred Penny Box
I think in the conversion process the colors were dulled. so imagine these a little more vibrant 
uggh.. finals
i only had one final exam. But I have a paper due Wednesday, of which I haven’t started, a huge project for typography due Wednesday, that I am completely tired of, and a project due in computers in art, that I have also not started. All procrastination can be attributed to the typography project. I’ll probably post the final products of the two design classes on here.
its been one heck of a semester.. What was you’re favorite part?
Parents of the Millennials
Did you know they have labeled our generation (born between 1982 and 1997ish) the Millennials? (also called Generation Y [lame]) Heres a video from 60 minutes talking about the work ethic of the 20somethings.
We watched and discussed this video on Wednesday in my small group and it made me really grateful for my parents. The way we are raised plays such a huge part of who we are, whether we like it or not. If we don’t like the way we are raised, many times we’re driven to change that. Our attitudes are defined by our home lives and I think the same is true for our parents and their parents.
My dad is a baby boomer, and my mom is, I guess technically, part of the following generation.. (not sure on that one) but their influence on my sister and I have taught us to take responsibility for our actions, our decisions, our messes and our successes. And i think in the same breath to give credit where credit is due. I am so thankful for my parents. Going to college made me realize how well they have brought me up and it is awesome to know they love me as much as they do.
It seems like the video really focuses on who is to “blame” for our generation and I think along the lines of giving credit where credit is due, parents are responsible BUT individuals are just as susceptible to blame for their own actions.
So. What do you think about the “millennials” ? Whats your take on the video?
heelys suck
Heelys are annoying. Every time I see a kid rolling around on them, I just watch, waiting for them to fall on their face. haha thats terrible.

Encouragramitis
I’ve realized recently how wonderful it is to receive a note. Seriously, no matter how bad the day is, a little post-it on my desk with something encouraging turns the whole day around. It reminds me of camp with Sagemont with the encouragrams in the pit of the San Marcos place and at the Marmax in Camp Tejas. It would be awesome to have little white candy bags with your name written on it that people could write notes to you and put in the bag, but from any distance. Kinda like the bank tubes, but instead of a tube going to the bank taking my money, it would be a note popping up in the little white sack. But you could send them to anyone!
I think its safe to say these are called emails. Or mailboxes. (the one the postman goes to.. with a key)
(side note: I wrote a note to someone and had to send it, and I had to buy stamps, did you know they’re $0.41?! they used to be 25!)
So I encourage you to write a note! Even if its just a short one, it will make someones day.
uh.. hey…
Chris’ fear of people made me think about social interactions on campus. I never know what to do when I see someone I’ve talked to once. I have to decide whether it would be rude to ignore the person, because we’ve only spoken once, or if they’d even remember me. It WAS only once. And if I choose not to ignore them, do I say hi? Or do I just smile? Or wave? Initiate short conversation? What did we talk about before? Am I Facebook friends with them? Is there a valid reason for being Facebook friends?
I usually can’t decide in time and end up walking by smiling at them. But they usually aren’t looking.
thats terrible.
