Hi there! I just realized that the journal that's been sitting on my front page is over a year old. Many exciting stuffs and thingies have happened since then! This last year I've: Graduated Kendall College with a degree in Illustration! Started grad school at Hartford Art School Gotten married (I'll be Alyssa Menold as soon as the paperwork all goes through) Turned around and went straight back to Kendall to teach as an adjunct Some things haven't changed, though . . . I just looked down at the little status for food/drink/etc that sits at the bottom of the journal and realized that the only thing that's changed is the TV show. I'm eating...
I only have a couple weeks left of school! I'm super excited! Maybe the crazy hectic pace of my life will ease up for a bit, at least for a couple weeks--I haven't had almost any time for deviantart, which makes me a little sad since I follow some awesome people and I know I've been missing out on a lot that they've done this past year.In other news, I've been awarded the Illustration excellence award and named Valedictorian! I was more excited about this before I found out I had to give a speech. I've never actually been to a graduation, so I'm not sure what graduation speeches are made of . . . I'm hoping youtube will have some examples ...
My painting Jackie and the beanstalk http://annpars.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4wle2k got a Daily Deviation :D! So happy! Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments!
