A Fond Farewell to Another School Year Gone By... (a note to my GDS 120 class)

Well, here we all are again.  The end of the semester, the end of the school year...maybe, for some, the end of Parkland.  It's never more apparent to you the things you enjoy and the things you have grown to look forward to, until you feel them slipping away.  As it turns out, this class has been the highlight of my week.  Each and every one of you in there has been amazing in your attitudes and work production.  I have never more felt outclassed, nor have I ever been more okay with getting outclassed, than I was in this class.  One of my regrets in this class is that I wasn't able to work with everyone.  I wish I could take time and right something sappy and insightful about every individual, but, sadly, my attention span will not allow for that.  I feel like I have really grown over the semester, both in my artistic ability, my creativity, and that whole "getting work done on time" responsibility factor thing.  My appreciation goes out to all y'all, especially Larry, for allowing me to try and do whatever my little ADD brain would spit out.  If I gave you the impression this semester that I'm impulsive, weird, and just slightly off my nut, it's because I am.  Any impression of normalcy that you perceived was erroneous and should be discounted.  I'll be taking Larry's Graphic Design History class in the fall, and I would hope to see some of you there.  I plan on keeping this blog going with postings of all the cool stuff I find on the internet and other places, and I might even start posting stuff I make.  I invite you all to follow along, keep your ear to the door of the padded cell, and check in now and then.

As this is my last post, I leave you with two t-shirt designs.  I started the semester with t-shirt designs, so it only seems fitting I should end with them.  I also leave you with a song that, to me, has come to be associated with the ending of something grand and fun that has in one way or another impacted my life to its bettering.  Some of you may recognize it (those of you who don't REALLY need to spend more time on the internet and video games) as the ending song from the game Portal.  Enjoy.
