I hope you’ll pardon me for forgetting to write so very often recently. I blame finals, internship projects, and looking up Angry Birds walkthroughs on Youtube, in that order.

To placate the angry townsfolk who are lamenting my absence with torch and pitchfork, I offer these Yuletide photos along with my normal, particular vocabulary:

Here's the Christmas card that we didn't send to all of our friends and relations. Print us out! Put us on your fridge!

This is Aslan, Libby's newest friend/rival for my mother's heart. She's sweet.

Lauren gave me a train set for Christmas. BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER.

I’m back now, in a New Year. It hardly feels like a new one yet, because we had to drive back up to Gainesville on New Year’s Day so that Lauren could get to her Publix shift.

There’s a lot of newness to get through, though. Classes begin on Wednesday. I’m taking a killer lineup of two awesome classes on design and web development, and two snorers on “fact-finding” and “media law.” But hey, I only need to get a C to graduate, right?

In the time that I am not relentlessly devoting myself to my studies, the rest will be spent on work. I need a regular job, which I’ll get, but when I’m not doing that, I’ll be preparing myself to take on the world of web design.

I’ve already got a few local clients, but a dozen or so more never hurt a portfolio. If I can turn around a website in a week when the universe isn’t in my hair, I should be able to put out a few classy sites before graduation in May.

The to-do list includes: design, create, and maintain a portfolio site to show myself off, design some more sites, print some business cards, etc, etc.

This is my very last semester. Between school, work, and other work, it’s going to be one interesting ride.
