Monday morning update:

20Nov06

Chugging coffee while attempting to study for a test, prep for a film shoot tonight, prepare for a meeting with a professor, read for class, and then I’ll be running on campus in 2 hours to take photos and video for another project.  How I love the two days before Thanksgiving break!

 I’ve been meaning to start a “What I Learned Today” feature for awhile now, but I’ve got some free time so here’s the first in what I hope to be a series of many.  I’ll definitely need to work on an improved title.  Here we go!
Dr.  David Mindich visited Grady College on Friday to give [...]

After a long wait for breakfast, I’ve spent the morning doing design work for my New Media class. I’m not too happy with the font and header design yet, but hopefully I’ll be able to get everything worked out soon. Work all day, then I’ve got to get psyched up for what is [...]

Yet another paper

Thursday

27Jul06

Taking a short break from the grind. It’s finally cooled down around here after last night’s thunderstorm, but it’s still pretty humid. I’m somehow still running on a little sleep and a strong double espresso.
It’s going to be a long day of paper writing and Parisian planning. Off to the Trinity [...]
