SUPER UPDATE!

Holy crap guys. It's been too long.

I've been so so so so busy I can't breathe. This semester has been insane. Career day was today and it's finally over. It's not the biggest deal in the world but it was definitely a mental benchmark to be done with everything for portfolio. I will now be sending out shitloads of resumes. Part of this is my brand new website!


yay! so now here's a recap since....march? I'm not sure if this is going to embed properly for all of you but heres the link in case you can't see the pics.

wood work

so i've been living in the woodshop thanks to a type design project thats due on tuesday. we had to pick a word and make it/represent it out of wood in some way. so my word is worm and it's going to be a bookshelf (get it?!....bookworm) so i know it all looks horizontal but it will be hung on it's side (the m down) so all of the stems of the letters are shelves. enjoyyyy. i'll be updating on monday/tuesday once it's hung and purty :)

California!

Hi all! I went to Oceanside, CA to meet up with some Mrazfriends (some is an understatement!) It was a blasty blast!


We stayed at a ballerhouse with three stories and two BIG balconies...
That overlooked the ocean...
we did yoga...
played games...
hung out at Jitters...
where we ate delicious food...
in our living room we listened to friends sing their faces off...
we danced...
and we took lots and LOTS of pictures on the beach...

Despite being gimpy it was awesome! :)

It's been almost a month...

Oh my goodness guys. The semester is finally over. I never thought I'd be so excited to have foot surgery again (simply because it marks me the end of the semester finally!! My ecostore team did not win the competition but we struggled for the majority of the semester so it wasn't all that surprising. In any case, I did pretty well in my other classes despite neglecting them for ecostore most of the time. Yesterday Brian took me to the hospital and I got my right foot all cut up :) It's back to piggy back rides and laying around doing nothing. which is actually nice this time of year (as opposed to last summer....BLECH!) Anyway, Brian and I had our Christmas last night so you get to see all the gooodies!! Enjoyyy and see you all soon! :)
