before sophomore year officially begins.

This past weekend was fantastic! Football game was a little lacking; Michigan didn't play well at all. The new team has a lot to learn. The actual game was enjoyable though, between my seating group and friends sitting elsewhere much excitement was had.
The main thing that I forgot about Michigan is the incredible amount of school spirit that everyone has. This contagious spirit and enthusiasm found in A2 on game days is unbelievable. Amazing. Spirit alone is one reason why I really love Michigan. Though attending an art-only school would groom me for a job immediately after graduation, regardless, Michigan has so much to offer besides a design curriculum.
Which is why I am hoping to teach myself a ton of things this year about art direction and graphic design. Now that I know I'm not focusing on ID, I have to start fresh again and this time pursue more graphic design-related classes. I am really excited about AD though; I know that I can learn quickly and I have just realized how interested in advertising I have been my whole life. Starting in 7th grade, I tore out ads in magazines and started assembling my collection of inspiration books. As cheesy as it sounds, I think that AD is going to be my perfect fit.
And though I know I could complete any curriculum, heck, I could be an engineer if I really wanted to...I really love the creative world. And creativity will always have a job. No machine can truly be creative alone. A creative mind is needed to guide the machine. Voila! I have a job for life. Fantastic. That is extremely reassuring. I love creativity!
Ending this cheesefest.
I am really glad to be back, but more than that, I am really happy that I have found a direction (!) to pursue. One that I am passionate about and motivated to work hard to learn.
I have to go put all my art supplies in a locker at the art school, so I must go.
Have a lovely Labor Day!
I'm out.
