Wow, 4 months...

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 26, 2005, 12:04 AM
... since my last post. Some things never change...

So I'm at the midway point of another probable all-nighter (my third? this semester)... and it has occurred to me that I really need to kick this serious procrastination problem. I'm in grad school now, and I'm thinking that I should grow up and take this thing seriously.

As far as an update, I'm nearing the end of my first year in grad school (semester 2 of 5), and I did really well first semester. I was nominated the Gargoyle Society, which is an honor for me. Hopefully they won't kick me out after this semester, cause I don't know how well I'm going to do this time around.

My birthday is on Wednesday, and I guess dA has given me a free week of membership, which I have to say I really miss. But it's hard to justify paying for something that I'm a glorified lurker at. I haven't posted or commented anything in a while. Hopefully this summer I'll find some time to put up new stuff (I have been doing new stuff, really!) and reaquaint myself with the territory.

Well hope everyone is doing well. And hope all you central-illinoisians are enjoying the aftermath of a supposed early spring (= rain and cold).

And still... more work to do.

Hi there. We're neighbors, apparently. I go to U of I too. I was browsing through other UIUC deviants, and I have to say, I really love your work. So yeah, just wanted to say hi, and wow.

thanks... yeah, I had an incredible time in europe. one of these days i'm going to run out of interesting europe photos, and have to take and submit new stuff. it'll probably be for the best, but for right now i'm milking my artsy/touristy euro photos for all they're worth. thanks for the :+devwatch:

Thanks for the comments, I agree that seeing photos of various places you've been from another perspective can really enhance the memories you have.

Beautiful photos! The 3D pieces are very impressive as well. I think it’s been said several times here already, but you have a great eye for composition.

Oh, and congratulations on the architecture degree- I’ve heard it’s an obscene amount of work!
~blandgrey:iconblandgrey: Sep 12, 2004, 7:56:41 PM
very cool stuff. I like the Erasums bridge. Looks like not much of his stuff has been built... too bad.
