Good News! I AM Alive!

Hi folks, I apologize for the lack of updates. Plenty has happened, I've just been busy with life and forgetting about the blogsphere for a while. Here are some brief updates about what I have been up to since I last posted:

  • I decided to leave Savannah a quarter early and return home. It's been fabulous to be home!
  • I am taking an art history class online; this means I am online often, but usually for academic purposes. We are approaching our final week of the quarter, and I am working on a paper regarding pop art, which is very interesting.
  • I went to the Spring Fair with Jesse and Zoe to make up for missing the Puyallup Fair in September. Unfortunately, the roller coaster was closed. :(
  • I'm job hunting - this week alone I've interviewed at Old Navy and at Build-a-Bear. They've been going well, hopefully I'll find some way to make money this summer!
  • I attended the Roger Waters The Wall concert in Seattle last night; this was my second time seeing this spectacular show.
  • My family got a puppy who is somewhat psychotic, but terribly cute and loving.
  • I have decided to change my program at SCAD and my future career goals, which brings me to the meat of this entry:
I am going to switch from the Graphic Design MFA program to the Arts Administration MA program. I'm terribly excited, and I believe it is a much better fit for me. When I return to Savannah in September, I am registered to take an intro class, a legal issues in the arts course, and a business writing course. Part way through the quarter I will officially apply for the major change, and hopefully be on that new track the following quarter. Winter quarter, I'm still going to London, and I have asked my program to find a placement for me focused on arts administration. Then I will return to Savannah in the spring and graduate in June 2013 with my Masters. How terribly exciting!

To hold you over, enjoy my brother's new puppy Irby.
