One Year Ago Today: Graduation from my BFA

Wow. A full year has passed since my graduation from Full Sail University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. It feels like it was yesterday, and it also feels like it was decades ago. So much has changed. So much is new. So much is old. I’ve always thought that rapid growth and change…

Accepted!

I am very happy to report that my interview with the Director of the MLS program went well on Friday and I have officially been accepted into graduate school – WOOHOO! I cannot believe how much has changed, grown, and evolved in my life in the past three years. I never believed I’d be going…

DONE!

Today, Sunday the 29th, marks the last day of my full-time student status. I can’t believe it’s finally over. I feel like the last two and a half years has flown by and the fact that graduation is just a few days away is equally exciting and terrifying. I find myself logging into the portal,…

Last Assignment for School

Based on what we learned about our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, we were then supposed to discuss our short and long term goals post-graduation.

Why?

My cap and gown arrived in the mail yesterday. WOW. This is actually happening, isn’t it? My educational journey is drawing to a close. I’m in the home stretch, the final portfolio development classes, and in just 66 days, it’ll be time to walk across the stage, shake some hands, and pose for a picture…

Twelve Weeks.

As of tomorrow morning, I am officially twelve weeks away from my last day of class at Full Sail University. Three classes. Three more grades. Just eighty-four more days of instruction and this chapter of my life comes to an end. I cannot believe how quickly time has passed. I started working on my BFA…

Sidetracked… but not forgotten!

Whoops! It happened again! I let time slip away on me and nearly a week has passed since my last post. It’s so easy to let that happen in this crazy, rushing, cacophonous world we live in. Sometimes I surprise myself when I find time to eat, hit the gym, or even just take a…
