School has gotten in the way of life...

I have decided to change the way I do this blog. In the past, I divorced myself from it, didn't use any personal pronouns, and limited myself to only four lines. That is going to change. Get ready world...

I like to write, but I haven't had time to in about a year. With this blog, I wanted to keep a kind of living journal of my experiences, but present them in a way that would change the way people felt about verbiage. That was a hard thing to do because sometimes I could even remember what I'd done because I'd also stopped taking pictures as a remembrance of events. School had taken over my life. I didn't think about anything other than what was due next and how long I could work on another design project before I had to get back to the one with the deadline looming. In short, I got burnt out.

That had never happened to me before. I was always good about working with deadlines, and although I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator, I always met them, and sometimes I even got them done early (shocker!). But college was a horse of a different color, and it didn't really hit me until my junior year. I had gotten all of my pre-requisites out of the way my freshman year and the first semester of my sophomore year so that I could work only on art, which in hindsight was probably the worst thing I could have done. My brain was always working on only one side, so my art suffered.

So I've revamped this blog in an attempt to redistribute my brain usage. Day one. So it begins.
