I've barely had time to update this blog...but tonight I can't help myself. October, though usually my favorite month of the year, has had its share of ups and downs (mostly emotional). On this lazy Saturday night I find myself in an upbeat sort of repose. I've been moderately productive with my schoolwork (including making some revisions to my resume), and I've enjoyed the soothing sounds of Tracy Shedd, Laura Veirs, and the excellent "Birds of a Feather" album by Tape & Minamo (strongly recommended to those of you who crave ambient music of a warm and fuzzy variety). It's been a particularly turbulent week, as I struggle to get ahead on my work while thinking to the future. I'm almost certain that I'll be moving away from home upon my graduation in May, heading off to a new city, a new job, and a new set of challenges. I'm hoping that graduate school is in the works at some point in the next few years...my ambition only continues to grow, and my hunger for knowledge keeps pointing me in the direction of a master's degree in architecture. Not without grand intimidation, of course. I loved being in an architectural firm for my summer internship...the dynamic was incredibly comforting, and the pace at which everything and everyone moved was just right. I'd love to add architectural background to my resume, but I don't necessarily need the AIA licensing, and I don't know at this point if I would practice architecture or keep on going with interior design. There are questions abound spinning in my mind, but once I talk to my professors and advisors, I can clear them up a bit and get some peace of mind.
Time for another mental checklist (really only for myself, but I love to make to-do lists...follow along if you wish):
1. Finish reading "The Will to Power"...so that I can start reading "The Pillow Book"...and some of the other books that are laying around my house.
2. Clean out my closet even more...there are still quite a few items that I could live without.
3. Get back into sketching, maybe even with markers and colored pencils. How I pine for those art class sessions...
4. Get to the library, pick a random book off of the shelf, and absorb its contents. The one upside to being at a small (to the point of mental confinement) school is the opportunity to find ways to escape the boredom and satisfy my curiosity.
5. Learn some of my mom's recipes...one of these days.
6. Clean out my desk drawers, as well as the space under my bed. Uncharacteristically catastrophic.
7. Someday, perhaps, start to blog about topics of interest...album reviews, videos, books, abstract concepts, kittens. If I can make the time, that is.
That's enough hot air from me for now. Cheers. :)
