a decision to wait.

It's getting close to the end of the semester and the projects are certainly piling up. Flash projects, websites, magazines, annual reports, packaging- all need to be worked on and completed by the end of April. I really should be working right now but I'm pretty tired. I helped on set this weekend and they go pretty late and I'm still feeling it. I need to get motivated, but all I would like to do is take a nap!
But things are going really well, I'm really getting comfortable at redpepper and feeling confident there. I went to lunch the other day with two of the girls who work there as designers and they told me about their experiences at school, and graduating and then working. It was so nice to talk to them and it made me feel a million times better about graduating. I actually made a big decision this week to wait until the Spring to graduate. I started to think about how I would really be pushing it to take 12 hours of studio classes in the Fall to get out by December. 1, the economy isn't great right now and 2, I probably won't be doing my best work if I take on so many things in those months. I want to have the best portfolio I can, so it makes since to just take my portfolio class in the Spring so I can focus on that and I won't have any other classes to put time and energy towards.
I talked to my professors and my parents and I feel good about the decision. It lifted a big weight off of me. And I enjoy being at Watkins, so another semester is something to look forward to.
Well, I should go and do my work.
