HELLO, MR. ROBINSON

All I wanted to do this summer is get a paid editorial internship with a magazine. Is that so hard to ask?  Of course I can’t seem to find one or receive a response from any of the graphic desgin internships I applied for.  On top of all this, I feel like I’m heading down the same dreadful spiral of designing a piece that looks rushed and sloppy.  This always happens when I get too excited about something I’m working on and want to show the world.  The world doesn’t want my sloppiness and I am tired of serving it!  With all this frustration built up, I’m just ready to scream!

Thankfully I was reminded today that my main priorities for this summer is to get a paying job and take this stupid Accounting class.  I think my problem is starting a project and not having the proper research complete.  I see all these tutorials and opportunities I want to participate in and I’m mentally straining myself.  What I need to do is step back, read up on how to properly asses myself as not only an artist but a problem solver.  Reading magazines and blogs oriented around art this summer will take my expertise as a designer to the next level.  

It’s time I start becoming the amazing designer I know I can become.  GQ Magazine here I come!

I’ve decided that I’m not going to give into the sex appeal that is the iPhone. The direction HTC & Android are going with their phones, I will forever be a fan.  I’m thinking the HTC HD7 or the HTC Sense. 

So excited for a new phone!

I have been blessed to be able to eat all kinds of fatty junk foods without gaining ANY weight.  Of course I can’t eat like this forever and I need to start eating healthier but I need to create a balance of being able to eat junk food too.  I REFUSE TO STOP EATING CHIPS!

To be honest, I don’t really read the news often.  I browse every now and then but unless it affects me personally, I pay no attention.  I just looked through the photos of the aftermath of the tornado in Missouri and it’s heartbreaking.  I’m here, sitting in my house peacefully every day and night as the tornado destroys homes and lives. 

We need to take a step back and look over our lives and relize things could be worse.  We complain over the smallest things and they hold no comparison to others whom have had everything taken from them. 

From this point on I am paying more attention to the news and counting my blessings. 

I plan on working out every other day, if not everyday.  I have 3 months for a summer break.  By next semester it’s over, BOOM! Also, I would really like to grow into my big head sooner than later, lol
