First Day!

Today was my first day at that new job that I was telling you all about.. and It went really well!
Of course i'm completly exauhsted after working from 9am - 12:30 there and then 1- 930pm and the Bookstore. All I have to think of is how nice these paychecks will be! Gotta make that $$$$ for my car and house! Despite what some people may think or feel, I personally love working. I'm currently working 3 jobs right now to be able to pay for my car and new house. I could never just not have a job. I have so many bills and responsibilities to pay that not having a job just couldn't happen.

So basically I'm loving this new job so far and loving the pay and the hours even more!!

Shoutout!

Just want to give a quick shout out to everyone who is reading my blog! I think at one point I had a follower, but they're gone now :'(

BUT! Thanks to all of you who have seen my page, wether it's one time or more than that! And a Extra Special shout out to those of your outside of the U.S, Yes I know you're out there!

See, here's proof!
So thanks guys! and If you ARE reading this, Follow my blog! I'd appreciate it!


Well, It's hard to believe that this semester is over. Heck it's hard to believe that I'm going to be a junior!
Out of all my classes this semester I think this one was the most beneficial for me. I learned a lot of really cool new sites and programs to use along with techniques and different ways to showcase your work. I think the part about this site I enjoyed the most was these last few weeks where we created our websites. I think that it's so important for an artist to have a way to showcase their work and since everything is practically web based this is a very important skill to have. I think going week to week in this class it was hard for me to see the overall picture of my work that I created and how this would all look together, but once we put everything together on the website I really think it completed the class. Looking at everybody's site and how we all took the different projects and each did a unique thing with them I think makes it look like we all have a type of variety and uniqueness to our work.

Overall I really enjoyed this class and was glad I took it, I found out a few weeks in that I most likely could've been opted out of this class. But am very happy I stuck with it. I still learned a lot and feel that I've taken a lot away from this class. I would definitely recommend taking this class online rather than in the classroom because I think it's important to do all of this online, where your not visually watching the professor and other students around you. Since it's a digital media class, I think taking it online is an important aspect of the class. With that being said I think Phoebe was an excellent instructor and no i'm not just trying to be a kiss-ass. She was very understand with technical difficulties, which I think we all had at some point during the semester, and was very good at communicating with us what was expected. I really enjoyed that class and learned a lot from it. I can't wait to see what else I learn now that i'm starting to really get into my major! If this was just a taste, then I like what i'm tasting! (that was cheesy, sorry)

Home Sweet Home!



Here it is! MY Very first home! We don't move in until the first of june, but we both are already SO EXCITED! We've already gone out and bought everything for the house and have even started packing! It's so crazy how in just the past few months i've taken such a leap forward in my life. I finally have my own home, a big girl job, and i'm practically halfway done with college. Seriously when did that happen?! 

Basically, to sum up my excitement: KFLFKLSASFDJKFDSKJDFSJKLDSKFSKDSFLDSKLEIOWVNVNR

So.... I have a job interview on monday morning, and I am extremely nervous! It's for a graphic design position at a small local company. The place is called Advanced Incentives and they make all of the t-shirts for the high school that I went to. I've already showed them my portfolio so I'm pretty sure I have the job already. But i'm still really nervous! I'm excited to finally be getting a "big girl" job. I'll keep you posted as to weather or not I get it!

So Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!

My Lucy Cat!

Mid Summer of last year, out at a friends house in Michigan they had this little kitty wandering around their property. Everyone who lived there was allergic and couldn't let the cat hang around. After a few months of begging my dad, he finally let me keep her! She makes me laugh with all of her little quirks and I just can't believe it's almost been a year since we've gotten her!
She loves to watch the birds out of the window and loves playing hide and seek as well. She is such a smart cat and I can't wait to throw her a little birthday party in a few months :)

The Booger :)


Well it's been a little over a month now since i've gotten my new car, and can I just say that I LOVE IT! It's hard to tell from the picture but it's a lime green-ish color. It literally has everything, Rear-view camera, Navigation, Sirius radio, Hyper-Black rims. Everything i've wanted in a car I now have. Sometimes I think to myself " Hmm, was buying a BRAND new car really a good idea?" But then I get in the drivers seat and remember why it was. If anyone is looking to purchase a new car I strongly suggest the 2013 Dodge Dart. The Fully loaded model is as much as a standard model of some other cars and let's just admit it.. this is one bad ass car!
