In order to avoid irrational behavior in the face of extreme boredom (see my actions around the ides of March, 2003, for an example), I’ve been keeping myself all kinds of busy. One of the best ways I’ve found to do that is to start redesigning my entire web presence, and move a few projects from the back burner to the front. Of course, some of those projects require me to use tools with which I am unfamiliar and that leads to more busy work. Lately I’ve been watching any and every video tutorial I can find on the majority of Adobe CS4 Design Premium’s application suite. Once I figure out how that all works together, things should start moving more smoothly.

This semester has been quite easy, at least in terms of low stress. Staying on the Dean’s List is highly probable, though I’m not too sure I’ll manage to maintain my 4.0. There is a possibility, but I may slip a B in somewhere this semester. In Summer 1, I will be taking ‘Writing for Mass Media’ and ‘Publication Design & Production.’ Right now, I’m also trying to decide what to take in the Fall 2009 semester. Finishing my undergrad as soon as possible is something of a priority for me, despite the massive job loss recently seen in my field of interest.

Anyhow, I’ve not blogged in a while so I figured I’d post a short update. When I settle into some kind of groove, I will post a few more news updates, but for now I’ll operate on the notion that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. If you’re interested in what is going on in the world, there are plenty of places you can find the information you seek. I’ve linked plenty of options in the recent past.
