First post...let's see how this goes

Post graduation life is strange. There's so much going on at once, yet so little at the same time. I definitely realize that I like the structure of the real world better than school. In school I felt as though I could never relax because there was always more to be done- rework your projects, do more research, fix your portfolio again. Although there are things like sketching that I could be constantly doing, I feel less pressure. I like that when I leave at 5 I don't really have to think about work until the next morning.

On the flip side though, I did like how when in school you had gaps in your day to spend as you please. Sometimes I sit in my cubicle wishing I could enjoy the outdoors more. The days (daylight) fly by when you're inside without a window. School was more social too. Though I'm going to try and work on that! It's very easy to come home at 5 and not do anything with friends. It makes you love the weekends even more.

This past weekend I went to Atlanta, Georgia for work. To Georgia and back in a day. It was a whirlwind experience, but I'm glad I went. If anything I was able to bond more with my co-workers which is always a good thing. I went down for the CEDIA show. Check it out: http://www.cedia.net/expo/index2009.php

On the horizon: Start an etsy shop to sell greeting cards. Just a side-hobby-artsy-crafty sorta thing. Go apple picking. Get new dress shoes.
