so i discovered college is going to take me THREE more years to complete. and if MIAD kicked my ass madison won’t let me up for air. as i write this i have 2 midterms and 3 papers due in one week and i have barely started on ANY of said responsibilities. this is no register of complaint, though. i’m going to the quote unquote BIG university now. no time to shit as i say. but here is my aphorism of the year: when life tweeks your teets, you just have to grab it by the horns and give it a good ram or two in return …

for some reason i feel the need to apologize to all who occasionally drop by here with nothing to come away with. i have so enjoyed the small slice of reality we have shared … call me an idealist, but sharing in these forums usually makes me smile in satisfaction.

but things are good. i am double majoring in fine art and communication with a rhetorical studies emphasis. I am also getting a certificate in folklore and art festivals (yeah you can study that!). I have been illustrating for a student music magazine, designing posters for the art committee, and i just turned in my application for layout designer of an awesome humanites journal on campus. i am going to start writing for the madison observer, too, a political news journal. because i firmly believe sharing is caring, i’ll give you all a slice of this pie when i can. maybe you will enjoy it as much as i have making it.

don’t let the bush get you down! 3 more years and counting … that bastard will be out of office by the time i graduate and rejoin society, thank allah.
stay bright and shiny, kids!
