I finished a semester of grad school.

So the groundbreaking maturity updates have been few and far between lately. This is probably because I've stopped doing exciting and meaningful things with my life ... but it could also be because I've been doing so many meaningful things that I no longer have time to blog about them. I'll let you decide.

Anyway, I did manage to finish my first semester of grad school without any major disasters - which is something worth telling the world ("the world" being a select readership of very close friends, plus probably my mom). And now that I've got a whole semester under my belt, I can more confidently conclude the following:

1) I like Pratt.
2) I like doing graphic design.
3) I therefore chose the correct school.
4) I also therefore chose the correct career path.

These are all reassuring things. Sure, I didn't sleep for the last month of school and nearly went blind after three straight days in the cutting room and spent the equivalent of half my rent on printing and binding - plus, I might have ended up with the lowest GPA of my life (apparently grad school is, in fact, harder than college) - but as my eyesight returns and my x-acto wounds heal, I still think that grad school is pretty awesome.

So now I'm in the middle of a month-long vacation that's allowed me to recover from the end-of-semester madness, pick up some extra hours at work, get started on the freelance gigs that I totally neglected until now, catch up on ANTM, and get all my wisdom teeth pulled out of my head. If that's not multitasking, I don't know what is.
