Year One: DONE!
Tue 5/9/2006
Well, I survived finals week and have finally completed my first year at Pratt Institute! All in all I'd say it was a pretty great year of school. I did a lot of hemming and hawing before I signed up for this program, but looking back, I think it was definitely the right decision for me. I learned a bunch of new skills, improved and honed skills I already had and made lots of new friends with students and faculty alike. I'm really excited about next year, but I'm also really excited to have the summer off, to work on other projects.
I AM going to take a little break (especially since I have been sick as a dog since Saturday--ugh!) but I've already got a TON of stuff on the docket for this Summer. Hilights include (but are not limited to):
- MoCCA arts fest!!! (Plus all the friends and visitors who come with it!)
- MOVING MADNESS (Brooklyn here I come...)
- Teaching a Summer Workshop with Aaron up at The Center For Cartoon Studies
- A trip to HOTLANTA for a very special wedding.
- A trip home to Seattle to see my sister Courtney, who has been in Eritrea for the last two years working with the VSO.
- The Portland Zine Symposium! (and PORTLAND!!!)
- Not to mention my top secret, REALLY FUN, super awesome summer job!
For now though it's time to take it easy for a few days, catch up on some cleaning, correspondence and SLEEP!

The MoCCA Art Fest is going to be so sweet. I'll have a table--I'd love to trade books!
