I swear I'm not dead....I'm just a bad bloger

I know that I have been a very BAD blogger, but I have a reason. I have had no time to sit down at a computer for an extended amount of time and write a post. My school work this quarter has been taking over my life it seems like. For my TC370 class all I'm ever doing is drawing. Since the class meet M,W,F, we always have something due wether it's a practice drawing or an actual project due. So that class has been consuming my evenings when I would normally be on the computer or when I would get up in the morning to finish a drawing. My Art Edu 252 consumed my weekend last week because we had the first half of our midterm due for a critique and people actually got my concept right which made me quite happy. I have to do the other half this weekend because the final print out of my midterm is due on Monday at the begining of the class. My first half of my diptych was showing all of the benifits that athletes get. I showed a football player handing over the ohio state university symbol to the department of athletics and then I had hands giving things to athletes such as books, art supplies, clothes, special buildings and other things like that. The other half is going to be a student handing over money to the ohio state university and then having two hands coming out from the ohio state university giving the student a place to live, a place to eat, and a diploma for their money. Then I'm going to have a few hands coming out of the student holding money showing the different things that they have to pay for. So I have that half to finish this weekend and then I have a paper thing due for my online class tomorrow that I have to do. So since I have almost a 4 hour layover in Atlanta hopefully I can get some of that done. If I don't, then I wil lhave to work on that when I get to the hotel after I go over to the venue to check my equiptment and what have you. It's kind of weird not having my parents go to a fencing competition. This is my first tournament that my parents or my dad is not coming to. I'm a little bit nervous about it, but at the same time I know that it's going to be ok. My goal this weeknd is to as well as I did in virgina if not better. As long as I come in the top 32 I will be happy since I haven't done all that many national competitons lately. I mean besides college fencing that is all I have been doing. other than that I don't think much else is going on. Oh, I did go to the spring career fair and there were a few companies that seemed interested. They were Wal-Mart, Kohls, and possibly Sears. I have been talking to a women at Dick's Sporting Goods for awhile, but we will see how that goes. Atleast for this summer it's not looking too good for Dick's just because they want you to have photoshop and illustrator, and I have the photoshop experience, and they also want you to be going into your senior year and graduating in the spring of 2008. I would be graduating in the spring of 2008, but since I want to complete my business minor I won't be graduating until Autumn of 2008. Most of the companies said that since I was not graduating in the spring of 2008 that I would have to wait until the following summer to do my internship with them. I would like to do my internship this summer so I get it out of the way and so that I don't have to depend on getting an internship next summer. So who knows what's going to happen. When I find something out I will let you all know. Well I think that if you have gotten this far in reading I think that you are probably tired of reading so until next time....ttyl!
