It's Been Too Long...

Although I'm altogether positive that no one's happiness hangs on the frequency of my blog posts, I nonetheless apologize for my departure from the Blogspot realm. The busyness of the end of last semester and the holiday season demanded that I temporarily relinquish at least one time-consuming online habit. Unfortunately, the blog was the first thing to go. But, at the request of my mother, I'm going to attempt some semblance of a return.

So, what's new in my world??, you may ask. Well, I've always been a fan of lists. So I'm glad you asked.

1. I'm currently enrolled in my 10th and FINAL semester of college. Its fun because all four of my classes are art classes: Advanced Graphic Design, Digital 3D Modeling & Animation, Illustration 2, and Computer Graphics for Broadcast.
   
2. I spent the entirety of last semester building an amazing digital portfolio/self-promotion website... and I lost it a week before finals due to a corrupted file/fried thumb drive. It was devastating. I'm currently in the process of completely rebuilding it.
3. I'm graduating from Oklahoma Christian University on May 1st with a degree in New Media Design / Graphic Design. I could not be more excited. I'm looking forward to so many things: the cap, the gown, the ring, the diploma, the freedom from homework... to name a few. Rosy thoughts causing rosy cheeks.
   
4. I've decided to move to Portland, Oregon, following graduation. It's far away from home, but that's the only drawback. I have been providentially lead to an amazing home, two amazing roommates, and several other amazing opportunities in a beyond-amazing city that is the closest to Ireland that America will ever come.
   
5. I'm planning a road trip with my mom and my dog to get to Portland. We'll be going west through the Grand Canyon and L.A. before heading north all the way through Cali to get there. I. Am. So. Stoked.
   
6. I'm borderline panicked about getting enough money saved up before my cross-country trip. Prayers/donations appreciated.
   

That is the current status of my life. How are you??
