TODAY COULD POSSIBLY BE THE LAST TRUE FREE DAY OF MY LIFE. I mean it…kind of…okay, it’s an exaggeration. But right now all I can consider is life is about shift gears from Fun in the Summer.

See, today is the second to last day of summer before I begin my BFA year on Monday. That means:

01) Tomorrow I’ll be sweating like a mad woman trying to gather my things for the first day of class, so it can look like I was very productive (design-wise) over the summer (which in some ways, I truly was)

II) Monday – Thursday I will have class, and am expected to work 8-hour days on my project until November

C) Fridays I am expected to work 8 hour days on my project

4) Saturdays and Sundays will be catchup days (except for every other Saturday and Sunday, when I’ll be working a 24 hr shift at my job)

V) Come November when my project is said and done, I will hopefully have/be knees deep in finding an internship ANYWHERE for the spring semester (I would really love to go anywhere but this area…to be somewhere new and fun!) Which means getting my portfolio to the gym for a workout to GET IN SHAPE.

F) Come said internship time (January-ish) I will be, well, interning! Until approximately whenever. Forever?

Seven) In May, I get a shiny diploma/walk across a stage in my younger sister’s college graduation garb (yes, I said younger sister).

VIII) Then it’s Look-for-Big-Person-Job Time!

So you can see exactly why I’m sitting at Starbucks right now drinking tea and waving off flies that are attacking me, because they probably know that I’m hanging by an emotional thread and want to crawl in bed and wake up next June!

Enjoy today — I know I am especially. I’ve been making trips back and forth to the thrift store, dropping off donations from apartment cleaning/moving prep.
