Woah, today was my third day of Fall term 2012 at Portland State University. I am getting a little overwhelmed already; I am taking 16 credits, working about 17 hours a week at school, and have Mono! Whoo! But, seriously, I can say I am definitely feeling the effects of Mono, and have been really tired.
I can tell this year will be really fun. I am taking 4 classes, 3 of them are art classes. These include: Typography I, Narrative and Communication Design, Black and White Photography, and Family Studies. I am glad to have friends in 2 of the 4 classes, or at least people I know. It's still fun to meet new people, just its not as important in the 2 that I know people in. So far, I'm managing my time well, and am getting things done ahead of time, rather than last minute, which I think will be essential. Google calendars is going to play a big part in my organization.
On another note, I am excited to be participating in the Color Run on Saturday! If you don't know what it is check out this link. I am going to pick up my packet on Friday.... tomorrow, so will definitely document that :P It's going to be a lot of fun! I am glad a couple of my friends are doing it with me. Because I have mono, I will be taking it kind of easy, and doing my best, which may not be running, or jogging for that matter. Just depends on how I'm feeling.
ALSO, I have a semi finished logo for my photography; now I just need to get a Doing Business As, and I will be set.
I am hoping this year to be posting about projects I am doing, and how my Sophomore year at PSU is going :) So, Stay Tuned!

Summer is Here!
In preparation for the Color Run in September, I have been trying to get back into shape! yay? haha Well I have been running 2 miles since the 14th, on weekdays, leaving the weekends as rest days.
On Wednesday a few friends and I went hiking; we went to the Oneonta Gorge, and hiked the lower Oneonta Falls. It was a lot of fun! This was in addition to the 2 miles I've been running o.O It was a lot... The river/stream coming down the gorge was higher than usual, and with my camera and stuff, I couldn't swim across a deep patch to get to the waterfall. But the water was freezing, so I'm glad I wasn't in it deep for longer than I wanted to be. :) Here's some more information on the hike (click) :) And, here is some information about the Oneonta Gorge (click).
Oregon is just so pretty, is it not? There's no way you won't get wet on this hike. So if you ever go, prepare, and dress to get wet. There is a log jam, that can get very slippery, and is not easy to get over.
I was supposed to start my job at PSU on Monday, but, 1. Financial aid didnt tell me soon enough that I needed to get another document in, in order to get my request to start working towards my Federal Work Study award. 2. Financial aid only has one counselor that reviews the requests. 3. It could be a 2 week wait till I get approved to start working. GRRR! But, once I get that, I am free to work 20 hour weeks. yay!
On Monday, I can go pick up my final movie poster project from Art 118. Got an A in that class, both my art classes actually :) Really happy about that too :)
