updates are long overdue

So in the craziness of finishing the semester, I have gotten behind on my updates. Right now I am in South Carolina at my mother's house. It's the day after Christmas and I'm feeling rested, full and very content. The semester ended positively and I think (hope) that my grades were good. I haven't gotten them yet since I'm out of town and they got sent to my apartment in Nashville. I'll just get them when I get back in January.
I've been traveling a lot, went to my father's house first in Greenville and had an early Christmas with him and my brother. It was funny because I couldn't think of much to ask for. I've got so much already and don't need much. But it was actually a good feeling. My family likes to give a lot of gag gifts at Christmas time and I think those end up more fun than regular gifts. But my mom and stepdad did surprise me with a beautiful ring and gave me some graphic design books I'd been wanting to have for awhile. So Christmas was very enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to next semester and keep thinking by this time next year, I'll be an alum. I'll be looking for a real job. I'm feeling only slightly nervous with the economy in the state that it's in, but I'm hoping that in a year things will be looking up. And with a new president, changes will definiately take place. For now, I'll just focus on doing my best in my classes. This year will be a difficult one because I only have studio classes left. Since I transferred into Watkins, I already had taken a majority of my Gen Ed classes. I'm excited about my classes (and internship which I'm still waiting to hear from some firms) because I'm ready to really get my portfolio completed. I'm happy with my portfolio now for the most part and I made my own website for my final multimedia project. You can check it out here. There are many things I'm planning on making better in the future and since I'm taking MM2 next semester, I'll most likely create an entirely new site.
So I'm going to sign off for now.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and continue to enjoy the break.

Lindsey, would you know someone looking for an internship? How would I go about contacting someone at Watkins about hiring an intern? We are a Nashville-base ecommerce business looking to hire an intern to help with product photography and web production/design. Thanks!
