Let me start by saying, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I'm graduating in June. I'll have my Bachelors in Graphic Design from The Art Institute of Portland. I'll be "educated" and "professional" whatever that means. I'll be massively in debt, and finally living in the real world with my amazing girlfriend Callie. I won't have to worry about homework anymore. I won't have to worry about making it to class on time. I won't have to worry about having classmates that are jerks.

Now substitute 'won't' with 'will', and take off home from work, put 'work' in for 'class', and put 'coworkers' instead of 'classmates'. Man, what awesome sentence structure I have.

Don't get me wrong, I am excited about getting out there and doing real work for real people, and facing those challenges everyday. But school has been good to me. I've had more freedom with these projects than I probably will ever have with a real project. I'm positive that I'll still enjoy it, but it'll definitely be different.

Now I just need to get my butt in gear and get my portfolio together. I'll actually be using this Virb site for my temporary digital portfolio until I can find the time to put together a good website for myself.

Wish me luck everyone, the next 7 weeks are going to be really intense.
