Where am I ?

As I was sitting here at my desk doing some homework, a really heavy thought just brushed through my mind. It was like a vision or something flashed before me and then went away. So since everything is still fresh in my mind, I'm going to go ahead and post it now.

I've been in school now since October of 2007 and since then I've dealt with some serious pressure. Most of it was mainly me. I guess I just expect a lot out of myself.


So where am I going with this? My journey through this thing called college is winding down. When people ask me how much longer I have, I just say one more year... but here it is the middle of February and before you know it, this quarter will be over. I see things a bit different. After this quarter is over, I have 2 more quarters and then it's portfolio time... which is the last class. And boy is it a big one!

My journey through school has been teaching me every aspect of web design or any other type of media design that may come my way. My first year has been pretty much the process or the steps needed to take before you even begin any computer design, and now I am finally in the nitty-gritty phase. The designing part. This is what I've been waiting for and now it's here... and it's time to rock-n-roll.

See for me this stuff doesn't come that easy. This is something that I fell in love with about a year before I even started school. So I am definitelly craming in a ton of information. As I've said before, the Art Institute doesn't mess around. You have to get it and try to keep up. This type of media is not something you can do in a small time frame either. Creativity is an on-going thought process. Course we are provided with all the sites and everything else you can think of to stay on top of everything. But it can be a bit overwhelming if your not careful.

Now it is time to apply everything I've got towards this next and last year. I am excited about everything I will walk away with once I graduate. Once my time is finished, I will have my own CD cover, CD case, book of all my work, prints of all my work, a letterhead, and a live, on the web... working website. And enough confidence to walk through a brick wall.

With that being said I may need to step away from blogging for a while just to focus all of my attention towards school. It's hard enough having to work two jobs. Oh by the way... well I'll wait on that one. A little secret I'm about to execute to preserve more time to learn and study. I'll wait till after it's all said and done before I write about it.


You see... I was raised by two of the best parents in the world. They taught me so much about life in general that I had to grow up to understand it all. The one thing I have learned about myself is that failure is not an option. I put pressure on myself because I get satisfaction out of doing good work and illustrating a strong concept... whatever that concept may be. I just cannot live with sloppy work. That is why I will burn the midnight oil over and over just to learn something new.

I feel that my hearts desire is film making and photography but I still have a passion for web and right now that is where my focous needs to be. After this journey is over and I am squared up with work, I am going back for my associates in the video department. It's a long journey... but it's a short life!

So... once I get a spare moment I will try to check in and post some work or pictures but I may be MIA (missing in action) for a little while. At least until I'm between quarters on break or either I am caught up of everything.

Until then.
