Am I Crazy?

I almost named this post 'trimming is the hardest' but I thought it would have invoked some sort of thought pertaining to personal hygiene....

Anyway so Spring term ended and I had a break (3 weeks) to play and be stupid and instead I wound down my PCC classes to gear up for the summer, strictly Art Center at night. The issue with that being PCC and Art Center have about a month of class difference between May and June. So if I wanted to continue with PCC I would have had to put off Art Center until Mid June, whereas the ACN classes started up May 16th. I made the decision to finish the car project at PCC the week before Summer term started and then had a good 5 day break where I could sneak home and I did. It was good to see my parents, grandmother, and friends. I even tried to work for 4 days! I had the opportunity to drive the 2012 Civic down to Birmingham, AL. This being a couple of weeks following the Tornadoes in Tuscaloosa. Man it was crazy to see the here-and-there damage as I made my way south. I had to keep the windows closed because of the residual dust burning my eyes. Cicadas were out too, making their triumphant return to meeting the fronts of windshields everywhere in the south (eyeroll).

So on to the meat and potatoes, I am taking VisCom, Intermediate Transportation Design, and Transpor-tainment. Did that last one catch you? Yeah me too-Its a mix of Transportation Design and Entertainment Design. Without sugar coating it, its basically taking what the designers of video games do, and giving them a car project! I am very very eager about that, however its only an 8 week course so it wont start until the end of June.

Wait where did the month of May go?!?


The only lasting conflict that has been battling me has been time and time with friends. I feel the need to tell everyone to just chill and I will see them when I see them but honest to God I love working at school. I love socializing at school and leaving to get dinner and coming back. It must bee the productive feeling I get but I cant apologize for the work I feel has been good that I put up. I also WILL say that my classes so far look like an exciting challenge. I am wanting to dedicate myself to doing the best of my abilities and so far, I havent let myself down this year at all. Im proud to at least feel like I am growing up and maturing as this process moves forward. I am getting more nervous though about portfolio development. I want to ask all the right people for help in structuring it but I dont know how to ask without seeming like I just want to copy, which I dont want to do at all. I just want to be able to hit on all the key points and stand out in all the good areas and get accepted and move forward quickly.  A couple of my friends were accepted into the day program for the summer and its fun to see them put through the ringer but makes me understandably nervous as all hell when my number finally gets called. Soon I hope.

Allow me to dump pictures!
