Like many designers and artists, i don’t really believe it will ever be “finished”, nor should it be – it should constantly change. Things should be added as you do more work.

i suppose my real goal was to meet my goal of having 15 showable portfolio pieces. i started with about 8, and now i’m up to around 11 print-ready pieces to add to my portfolio. Not a huge increase, but an increase nonetheless.

i work best when i’m in a good mood. When i’m in a bad mood, or a depressed mood, it’s much harder to concentrate. The last few days i’ve been in a bad-ish mood, but earlier in the week i did get a lot done, and i feel pretty good now overall.

i’ve got three tattoos now. They’re all in places where they’re easy to hide, and my next one will be as well.

i know what i want. i can most likely afford it with no problem. i just need to actually work on the design of it, because i don’t want the same symbol that other nerds get. (PS, i want to get the Imperial Insignia, from Star Wars, heh.) i want mine to be a little different, a little personalized, but every time i sit down to work on it, i stop.

So.. maybe this week i’ll work on it more. It’d make an awfully nice birthday present to myself, even if my birthday was yesterday.

This is a lengthy process. The first step, at least for me, is visiting the school i want to attend – which i’ll hopefully be doing on April 14th. i have to be ready for this, which includes taking my “hard copy” portfolio with me, and having it ready to show people. It may not need to be perfect, or even organized, but i do need to take SOMETHING with me.

After the meeting, i have to do more portfolio work, and get ready to apply. i’m hoping to apply this summer for possible entry in the fall.

i’m TERRIFIED of not getting in. That sort of rejection would hurt a lot, since this is an important goal for me. Going to grad school would open a lot of doors, not to mention how much i would learn. But i can’t let the fear stop me.
