and i'm off

today i am going to head back home for winter break. i am looking forward to my family and friends and not having alot hanging over my head for classes. i just signed up to go on a trip to chicago with some design friends, i think it will be a blast. i cant wait! we are leaving the 2nd and returning the 6th then i have to be back down here for intersession class, Fitness & Fun for 7 hours a day! really how much fitness and fun can you have in one week?! anywyas i got to go and pack.

forty eight hours and counting

for the past three days i have been living on the top floor of Ellis printing the very ambitious calendar project. it was said it could not be done and maybe thats why i was so determined to do it. i found the process very addictive and rewarding. even in the wee hours of the night i solitarily enjoyed the steady task and repitious steps. i am just so excited it is finished and i have so many other ambitous ideas that will follow.

two little words

this weekend has been quite the adventure. a few of us decided to feat the weather thrown down on us and haul down to Arkansas to watch the Bears play in the ncaa tournament. they lost their second game but it was a great step for missouri state to make it to the second round. i enjoyed driving away from all my work and worries for awhile and have a carefree weekend with my friends. i enjoyed catching up with my girls, just hanging out and playing pool with the fans and staying in a hotel like the old days. it brought back warm memories of my team and i realized how greatful i am of all of them. its kind of funny though how i spent four years with some of these girls, yet i feel like i am finding out more about them now. i guess we were all robotic players then and now we set our own schedule and priorities. this weekend also made me a little sad, everyone talking about were they will land up after graduation. we say we will visit and call all the time, but i know deeply how difficult it will be. no longer can we just pick up and go mindlessly across the state, or call and say you desperately need an icecream break and that you'll be there in five minutes to pick them up. things will be fine i know but they will be different.

right now i cant get over that the semester is almost over, i am still working away on getting it all finished. as far as i know my marketing class is over. one down three more to finish up. i just have to repeat to myself that these two weeks will be hard but after that, christmas break! i might go to chicago at the begginning of january to check out some design studios and also some museums. i think it will be a good time all i need to do now is somehow scrape up the money.

anyways, i best be going to get my work finished. i think this post is long to push away the work i need to be doing.
