back to reality

I've just returned to Nashville from a wonderful vacation to Panama City Beach. It was beautiful all week despite reports that it would rain all week and I enjoyed it immensely. But it's always a bit of a rude awakening to go from 5 days lounging on the beach with no agenda to coming back to work and projects. I have a hell of a lot to do but it's all good things so I'm just trying to be thankful for projects being given to me. I took on a video project recently at my internship and I have very little (stress the little) knowledge of editing video. It's been a bit of a pain but I after converting the files to the correct state and then actually editing them, I've learned a lot of new things about digital movie files across Mac and Windows platforms as well as how to make my way around Final Cut Pro comfortably. So although it was a bit of a headache, I'm glad I took it on. I'm also going to be a new work study student for the Graphic Design department at Watkins so that is a great chance to get paid to do projects for the school and practice my design skills. Hopefully that will keep me busy throughout the semester.
My internship with redpepper will come to an end this coming week and although I hate to leave, it's good timing. Class starts in less than 2 weeks and since I'm helping out with Orientation this semester, I will be pretty booked. I'm ready to start though, ready to jump in with both feet. In 9 months I'll be a college graduate and I plan to really make these final two semesters count.
