My online presence....or lack thereof?

Due to conversations with a very nice professional illustrator I had the pleasure of talking to, it occurs to me that I need to increase my online presence. For the industry I'm hoping to break into, I need all the help I can get. No one's going to promote me; I gotta do it myself.

It's so awkward trying to brag about myself and make up things I could have possibly learned while doing various activities and how those skills would apply to my future career. Or at least what I hope will become my future career. We'll see!

For now I have to be content with finishing up my homework, finalizing selections for the review, listening to throwback Killers songs on my itunes (yay for shuffle...), and trying in vain to avoid giving into the temptation to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's for the second time in two days.

Actually writing a new post...

It's been brought to my attention lately (Liz, Kaitlin...) that I haven't blogged much lately. In fact, I haven't blogged at all for approximately 8 weeks. Which is about how far into this quarter I am. Coincidence? Probably not.
The past eight weeks have been incredibly strange. In good ways, like taking steps to be more of a grown up and in bad ways....like taking steps to be more of a grown up.
What's particularly strange to me is how much everything's changed without anything really changing at all. I've used this analogy before in my writing, but I like it, so I'll say it again: it's like everything is exactly the same as it was before, just moved two inches to the left.
If there was a way for me to sum up the past couple of months in a blog post, I would surely do it. But for now, I think I'll just have to be content with my intent to begin to update this blog more regularly again. Fingers crossed that I'll actually do it...
