back in good ol' A2

mmm...now i am back!

moved in
unpacked
case closed

ann arbor, how i have missed you
this summer
and i cannot wait 
for everything that will happen
now


---
 I moved back to Ann Arbor today to resume my university education. I am thrilled. I feel that I will be learning so much this year, meeting so many new (and potentially important) people, and working extremely hard (of course!) in and outside of my classes so that I will have a formidable portfolio by the end of first semester. Because even though January is far away, I am anticipating applying for internships with a solid portfolio (as opposed to last year...I didn't know anything about what I was doing)...and thanks to the awesome creative department at Slingshot, I now have some really good ideas about ads to create, things to learn, classes to take and things to investigate. These guys were great and really helped me out a ton...motivated me as well to learn all sorts of new things and step way out of my comfort level!
So as sophomore year begins, I only have good things to say thus far! adios!

last week

before i go back to school
there is one thing i must do

work for another week

huzzah.

right now, i sit and wait for the digital clock i am currently monitoring
to change to the glorious saturday hour of ten pm

and until it does, i wait eagerly in anticipation.


i like my job, don't get me wrong, but
there is something about the last half hour of work
and how it crawls by
every single shift
never does time pass so quickly in these
last thirty minutes that
you exclaim
my goodness, look at the time
instead the question
is why can't it be ten already.

exclaim or question. no difference
in the dragging half hour
you still remain.

so as the dance floors begin to crowd
lights dim
first dance commences

time on the clock still remains.

returning

is complicated, especially when returning with a loft.
you do not realize the full amount of trouble you are setting up for yourself when you 
purchase all this wood and things to put it together

especially for an 11 foot wide room.


when most trailers and trucks are 10 ft. long. 

what do you do with the extra foot?

figure out another way to transport everything.

-----
(aside)

for the record, i can't wait to move back to ann arbor!
i'll be documenting a little bit about what i do and who i meet on this blog of mine
so you can see what i've been up to and how i'm progressing towards my goals and such
which will be defined at a later time.

tired

working at the pga championship is complete madness
but fun
and craziness
hilarity ensues
not at all
when the customers
disappear and escape
your attempt
to sell them
a framed photograph
instead
to your dismay
the unframed one
triumphs.

notice

posts will not always be moving

or inspiring

but writing and thinking out loud in words i can see
can make it easier for the both of us

so you can know me
and i can know me

an informal introduction of sorts

so i sit here thinking about what i actually want to do

with this writing
with life in general
with my people
with the openness of tonight

and i realize

that i know exactly what i need to do

motivation is key. 

to accomplish it

i have to want it.

and i do.
