What a ride!

Been at my job for a month now... which is why I appeared to fall off of deviantART world. Sorry, loves!
I love my job!! I enjoy the work. The people there are wonderful. I even love the insane ans overloaded deadline week. I survived my first and apparently their worst ever deadline week, so I guess I'm good to go

The longest days was 14 1/2 hours straight. It was wild!
They've been putting me on as many hours as possible, so, I've been working much more than a normal part time job. It's awesome. I have a load saved up and I'm at the point where I can afford to move out of my mom's house. I've been apartment shopping and I'm on the edge of picking a place.
Only bummer is my brother wrecked my car and someone needs to fix it, before I can drive it and get over this driving phobia. Sigh.
Anyway, I hope everyone has been doing well. I've missed you! Please forgive my absence.

I have a job!!!!!!!

Hell yeah! I'm officially an employed graphic designer in the field I wanted to be in, advertising design!
I'm starting out as part time first, but hopefully next year they'll take me on full time when they do their review. Which means I'll be able to move out of my mom's house, pay her back, buy something nice every now and then, eat out every now and then, buy a cell phone that works, etc etc.... you know, LIVE like a normal human being

Gahhh, I'm so happy

Apologies to anyone I've left hanging this whole time.

I graduated and it was awesome. But I can't find a job with my degree. There doesn't seem to be much for entry level out there, especially not here locally. The economy just sucks in every way. It hasn't been easy. A lot of my friends are out of work and are totally broke. Fun times. Fun times. Things could be much worse and I do have my best friends at my side, so things are still good. I keep smiling.

I'm going to try and get back in the swing of things over here and finish projects I started. I still have a gift image to finish first.

Anyway, I hope all is going well for everyone else.

Looks like this place has changed a bit since I was here last!

I'm so done with the cold weather of winter. Bring on the crazy heat!

Anywho.

Spring also means I'm graduating next month

Things are busy... obviously, since I'm rarely around the wonderful dA. Things are getting down the wire... or they already are down to the wire and I'm just pretending it isn't yet, because I don't do the whole stressing thing anymore. I'm scared, but more excited than anything. I'll work in pretty much any area of graphic design, but I decided to focus on advertising. I'm putting an advertising portfolio together. I'm also considering going to graduate school someday years from now. Lots of exciting things coming up. We have the Portfolio Review day on the 18th where we sit down face to face with professionals that go over our work and give us feedback. Then the Portfolio Show at the college on the 23rd. Then it's graduation on the 25th. Yikes!

In February, I won an ADDY award!!

A silver student award for a print ad campaign I did for Dogs Deserve Better. It was an awesome night with my classmates. Five of us won awards. That was a big deal. It's a great thing to have on my resume and I'm more confident thanks to it

Here's an article about it, clickie

Earlier this month, I dyed my hair black and violet

And I LOVE it. My natural color is brown. I have photos here of the process, clickie

Life is good.

My deviantART subscription is about to run out

One of these days when I have fun money, I'll buy a really long subscription. Thanks so much to

for the subscription I've had for the past 3 months
