I’m not sure exactly where Mr. Marceau wanted me to move his post to, so I thought I’d start a new blog of general class musings beginning with his, below . . . Kristin

This was a really great week. Today was awesome…Rushdie and Lethem at the Chicago Public Library. I left amazed.
The Grad Student Reading was incredible. Something definitely worth aspiring to. For those that didn’t or couldn’t stay until the end, well, you missed out. What a closer.
Business Card printing was a fiasco at the local FedEx/Kinkos…never again. I left feeling like the world was a shit-hole and everything was an obstacle to my goals. I wasn’t about to fork out the $125+ they wanted for a minimum of 500 cards. Eat my ass, Corporate America.
The weather was a gorgeous tease this week. Glad I wore my stinky leather…it got to be the cold, unfriendly Chicago weather we all know and love this afternoon.
Networking. I DID get a few phone numbers, numbers I’ve wanted for a while but haven’t seen the people in a long time: Grads and Alumni. Connections are connections, I’ll take what I can get (for now).
I had my Info Interview and Portfolio Advising appt. w/ Joanna. Cute, smart and energetic. A pleasant meeting to say the least. Learned some of what I already knew, a few new things and details about industry information I was a little fuzzy on. I brought my Improved Frosted Turd (resume) with me and she thought it was passable. I need to put the stuff in Bullets, but other than that, I’m on the right track.
The events this week have been a real treat. I’m gonna miss this shit when I graduate…so, I guess I’ll put it off another year.
It’s late. Zzzzz-time.
