My Print teacher has been in India the past week and a half, and gave us a mini-project to do. We have a series of 3 postcards, all of which have to embrace the theme of mapping. I decided to map the growth of my facial hair.
The other 2 are terrible, and I’m really unhappy with them, so you won’t be seeing them. womp.
i love mapping. it is all about structure and visual communication. visual mapping is one of the hardest things to do.

Unless you want to feel like someone has taken a baseball bat to the side of your head.
A month later, and still I don’t feel quite like myself.
Today was my first day back to work since Jan. 10. It went surprisingly well. I mean, hey, it’s 5:49 and I’m still standing! I’m waiting for a ride to the train station from a co-worker friend that feels bad for me.
Goals:
1. Walk more. One word: Treadmill.
2. Complain less. Life’s tough, deal with it.
3. Eat Healthier. Just because there’s a platter full of delicious cupcakes in the company kitchen at 3 p.m. does not mean you should lose yourself in heedless abandon.
I think, with all things considered, I’ve taken a trying situation pretty well. Kind of ready for 2010 to officially begin, however. Tired of Tyenol and sickness and hospitals. I have things to look forward to! I have people to see, places to go, movies to watch, books to read.
Time to start living again.
things we can all start doing again. once again from the top.
