This week is Spring Break for my Uni. So, life has developed a much needed change of pace. Not necessarily that there's less to do, just that there's a different environment and schedule to work with.
Things have been going extremely well. Between designing some new shirts for a well known marathon in my region, homework, and club activities, there has been hardly any room to think outside of school. With Spring Break, I've come back to my childhood home and began to move from the 'dungeon' downstairs (the smallest room in the house, used for storage) into a larger room upstairs. I've filed my taxes, continued work on the marathon shirts, and contemplated how to move forward with my other required tasks.
Today I'm leaving to go trilobite hunting with my parents. We'll be spending three nights out in the desert, and that's time with just us, sky, rocks, two four-wheelers, a trailer and a dog. No internet and probably no cell phone reception. (Hopefully I'll get my design work done too, but let's take everything just one item at a time.)
Next week, on Wednesday, I'll be going with 17 of my classmates to attend the AIGA Y Conference; it's a professional design conference being held in San Diego, CA, from Thursday until Saturday.
After that it's back to the regular schedule at school for the last few weeks before finals.
It's interesting to consider the contrasts that I'll be faced with over the next few weeks. If I believed in karma, I'd be forced to believe that I must have done something incredibly good to deserve all these wonderful opportunities.
