Good Evening
Good evening. It is now a little after 10. Ten o’clock A.M. and I feel like it’s pretty late at night. This week I took a trip aboard the Graphic Design Airlines and now I am suffering from jet lag. Wednesday I took a nap in the after-noon for an hour, attempting to catch up on the sleep I had missed the previous 3 nights. I knew there was no way to prepare myself for Wednesday night and Thursday morning. I have not been to bed since that nap around 1 P.M. yesterday. I spent 13 hours in the lab last night, that’s a lot.
Sunday night I really started to gear up for this project. 2 and a half hours in the lab that night. Five hours of my life were spent Monday night working on a part of the project that was completely obliterated Tuesday morning. Tuesday’s toll added up to about 9 hours in the lab, and 13 hours last night makes for 29 hours of work in half a week, that’s another part-time job folks.
I don’t know if I should be complaining though, I honestly feel pretty good, caffeine is doing the trick for now. As long as I don’t linger in any dimly lit rooms I should be able to make it to 2:00 this afternoon when it’s time to say bye-bye to the conscious world. Also, the time I spent on this project was totally worth it. My professor, yes the same one who terrorized us all last semester in Graphic Design 1, actually liked by project. He didn’t have anything to critique about it in class. He just said it was very good and that I should go ahead and put it into my portfolio. Thank you, I think I shall.
Of course it helps to be a little bit of a brown-noser too. My prof is a huge Mac fan, so I did my photo documentary on the history of Apple. I also borrowed some design elements from the work that I have seen him do, it couldn’t hurt. There were quite a few rough edges that I would have liked to work out, but I was pushing to get this thing finished by 7:15 this morning as it was.
So, I suppose I should try to stay on track now. I doubt this rant has stayed to a very firm track, I don’t have the energy to proof read it.
