ugh, i'm so bored with my life. in a little over a week, i'm going to be a graduate, and my life is going to consist of waking up [presumably late and tired] and going to work, working all day at my job which i hate, coming home, eating dinner, and repeating. seriously, whats the point of life?
and i'm currently in love with this song: the prayer by bloc party
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you
Than is given to you
Tonight, make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight, make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
in better news, my website is officially launched!

i <3 post secrets.
i swear i didn't send this in...
and this was the comment beneath it: "Your father's success was raising four children who can think for themselves."
so weird how post secrets relates on so many different levels of my life. funny though, that my dad has NO idea we've given up on christianity. but i do love the comment that was left.

i'm almost an akron alum. yikes.
one week of classes, a couple of finals...and then GRADUATION!!!
last night was my BFA show :) (http://art.uakron.edu/workspace/flvs/index) and for the first time in a really long time, i felt proud of myself. i couldn't help but just smile on my drive home because i've done it. i've spent 4 years in art school and my work is being displayed in a gallery....the final requirement for graduation and i've completed it. and people looked at my work. and it makes me happy. and my parents came [and brought me beer...and it was awesome!!] and i didn't even really invite the sloots because i figured they had other stuff to do...and even they came. and i felt so special. :)
now i just have to whip up 2 illustration books tomorrow for mondays class. and launch my website at some point this week. and create the rebranding and packaging design for a product and then i'm really done. it's so bizarre. this month has flown by. this semester is a blur. the last 4 years are a blur, but they've somehow managed to be the best 4 years of my life.
i want to take a vacation. i've especially been thinking a cruise...not that i have money for anything right now....but i want to just sit and relax in the sun and not have to worry about a single thing in the world.
i wish jack's mannequin would release a fucking single already...atleast on myspace. i just NEED to hear new music...and i can't wait much longer for the new album.
the new chat feature on facebook might be the coolest thing ever. i love it.

looking for something to help me burn out bright.
three, count 'em, THREE weeks of school left!!! but i still need to start (and finish) my entire website. and my packaging design project. and a good chunk of my illustration book. but i've basically shut down FOREVER, so it should be interesting to see how it all comes together in the end. the senior exhibition is on the 25th, which would be WAY more exciting if the invitation wasn't so shitty. seriously, you could probably piss something prettier in the snow. i have issues with the way the faculty seem to be handling a lot of things these days. but there's really nothing that i can do about it at this point, so i'll just suck up and deal with it these next 19 days. but seriously though, i'm so over it all. at this point, what i have left in my classes is such a waste of time. well, illustration was a GIANT waste of time from the very beginning....but now everything is just so close to being done with that i have a really hard time caring.
my interview went well in NYC, so now i'm just anxiously waiting to see if they want me. i sent out my thank you cards today, so hopefully those will make a good final impression of me. i went out there kind of just taking a risk, but now i really really really want to move out there and do the nyc life kind of thing. i felt so confident walking the streets in my business wear and just knowing where i was and what i was doing....and i NEVER feel confident, so that should say something about itself right there. it felt good to be able to do that. it just felt right. if its meant to be, its meant to be. not gonna lie, i'll be a little bummed if things don't work out....not necessarily that i didn't get that particular job, but that i'll still be at MH. it seems to be sucking the life out of me a little bit more every time i'm there. and then to know i wont be hired full time because of all the budget problems and UA being a stupid company makes me hate it even more. and then i found out today that they're restructuring the entire marketing department companywide...and i dont even know what that means.
when i saw this, i immediately said to myself, "THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!" haha.
