As the Campbell world turns...

hmmm....

what's new, what's new.... school (classes) are over! Next week is finals week, and then the big day (dun dun dun!) It's a little odd, i must admit. What am i going to do with myself after this?? I usually LOVE school, and everything that has to do with it. BUT, at this point, i'm ready for a good break. I plan on working at LearnKey still, making that magic, and then silently be in pursuit for another local job. I love LearnKey and all, but it might be time for a change soon. I really wish i could just move on to grad school, and get that ball rolling, but i'm afraid that won't be possible for at least a couple of years.. or something. For the time being, I'll just be the bread winner and Cody can just focus on school. Good deal i think.

My mac is amazing. Yeah, i'm geeking out about it, but what can you do? i've been wanting one forever, and now i am free to create and design freely, and not be bound to a school lab, or at home. It's a beautiful thing.

Emily, my sister is SO cool. She comes to visit me every other weekend, and we have a blast when she comes, or I pay a visit down south. This weekend, she qualified to compete in a track meet SUU puts on every year. She is constantly taking first in Javallin (sp?) and doing really well. Sadly, she will be attending DSC (not SUU) in the fall, but she's on the track team there, and she has a sweet scholarship. So, i guess that works.

Cody is decent. haha We still are one-car-ing it, and he's really considering his options now... which are many. He went on a school trip recently to salt lake to tour some major electronics companies and enjoyed it... enough. Poor boy got sick and had a miserable time, but tried to make the best of it. He's good now, just like me, trying to survive this last part of school. We can really use a good break. Our days are so robotic and routine. We see each other in the mornings and nights. (I guess a little more since we have to share a car...but you get it.)

Finals week....will be interesting. I have 4 finals, 2 on one day, and the rest along the week. They are all art projects, and so far, I am nearly done with the one that is due last, and not even close with the ones that are due right up. go figure. So, this weekend, after some careful planning, I will be at the mercy of Drawing 2 and Senior Portfolio/Publication design stuff. lame. I am building a book...a portfolio book. (we are supposed to make one before we leave school, originally just a start.) And me, being the overachiever that i am, decided to just make the book, start to finish. I know it's possible, so we'll see what happens.

The Portfolio show opening went well. It was a little awkward to stand around while people looked at my stuff, and it was SO crowded, but it was good overall. I'll have to get some pictures of my very own little display.

That's about it, we work, we learn, we eat, we sleep. We get up and do it again.

"Her royal highness Clare of Campbell...."

Is graduating from college in 1 MONTH. scary stuff guys....

So, the printing went great. My stuff is at the gallery as we speak, and getting ready to glow. Can you tell I'm relieved? Now I can focus on regular things like drawing II and printmaking, and a smaller bookmaking assignment. Oh, and my grad. announcements too. Anyone wanna come? give me your address, and iI'll get one to you. :)

WHEW! on to other things. . . I'm finally getting my mac. you heard it. my laptop should get here tomorrow, or sometime after that. It's a beautiful day outside in Cedar City, and I'm getting everything done i set out to do today.

I also got my hair trimmed. yes i did. the last time i cut my hair of any kind was a year ago in January when i chopped off my long locks for a change and for Locks of Love. i measured my hair before I made the big cut, and then a year later i measured it again and it was the same! so cool. so, anyway, I figured after a year of growing and stuff, my hair was SO due for a good cutting. i just trimmed it, and it felt AMAZING. haha i sound like a freak or something, but seriously it made all the difference. I feel good.

Cody's truck is dead. poor guy can't get a break for anything. it happened at the END of spring break too. So, we've been doing the one-car thing for a while, and it's been ok. He can fix it... but he just doesn't have any time for it, you know? one of these days...

One of the things that has dawned on me lately (i have no idea why either) is that i am still attractive to people!(more like boys, haha) I know this sounds stupid and vain, but for some reason, i just figured that after i got married, i would just be me, and not have to worry about impressing anyone or whatever. But, as of lately, i have been getting a lot more attention than normal.... what the heck. The whole art dept. knows I'm happily married, and there's the couple few that give me the vibe. Does anyone else go this? i think it's flattering and all, but they are just a day too late and a dollar short. At the same time, it's amusing. I guess i still got it! haha. (yeah....)

ok, ok. i talk too much sometimes.

Hagoone for now!

s t o r y o f m y l i f e!

So, my whole 'homemade' magazine endeavor didn't work. after LOTS of trial and error, it just didn't work. Turns out the paper I was using was 1/4in. shorter than i needed, thus making my 2-sided printing off by 1/4 of an inch. (my hubby's a genious. He figured all this out). SO LAME! with patience and paper coming to an uncommon low, I opted for Staples to try and save my project. I won't see the final results until later, but i really hope it comes out.

oh yeah, all this talk about printing and magazines are not just mindless ramble. For those just tuning in, I am graduating this semester from SUU, and as a requirement for graduation, the graduating seniors have to gather their best work from over the years and make them perfect to put in a gallery show, to show off how great we are. I am on schedule with all i have to do, and alls i have left to go is to print and put together a magazine I completely designed myself. The show starts on April 10th, here at the SUU Braithwaite gallery. It runs til graduation day, May 3rd. So, if you have nothing else to do, or if you have to, COME! it'll be really great.



hagoone for now!
