An Exciting Start to Summer

Tag: DesignChris @ 4:52 pm

Well, it has been an interesting coupld of weeks. I can’t and choose not to delve into every nook and cranny of the excitement, but I can tell you that business is beginning to start moving in the right direction. I have a contract lined up for my current boss. Once I get the design down for that one, it should be fairly smooth sailing.My next one is the most exciting though. I could get a contract for a site based out of CA. It’s a little premature, but if I can make it look “professional,” I should be in. The hardest part about this one is the design as well. Very little back end stuff.

That’s about 1/4 of what has happened so far this summer. The rest should be coming out in a couple weeks, so stay tuned to the same bat channel!

one love.

Summertime…

Tag: RandomChris @ 2:12 pm

Well, it’s officially summer. School is out, kids actually get to sleep in, but are usually up early, days get longer and the humidity is killer.I didn’t really get the grades I wanted, but I don’t really care right now. I’ve got bigger things to worry about—like getting to Ireland, being a better husband, and making money. Again, if you or anyone you know is getting married, Stillwater-Weddings.com is the place to be.

Anyway, I’m really just testing out the new Blogger site, so I really don’t have much to say.

Going to clean the office now.

one love.

Finals and the End of an Era

Tag: Inner ThoughtsChris @ 4:12 pm

I know, I know. It’s alwasy tough to say goodbye. But sometimes, it’s not that tough.I finished my last final today at 9 am. As I walked back to my car, I passed the library, the fountain, the Student Union and the Classroom Building. I thought, “I won’t be here much anymore. I won’t see this stuff on a regular basis.” I’ll never have to sit in another classroom and listen to a boring lecture (or an exciting one for that matter). I’ll never have to park 10 miles away and run to class (b/c there’s no parking on campus and I woke up late). I’ll never have to lug my books around all morning, just so I can free up my afternoons for work (or vice versa). I’ll never have to feel like I should brownnose the Prof/TA/Grad student in order to help my grade, and feel guilty when I don’t. All I have to do—the only thing that stands between me and my diploma are 10 books, 10-15 quizzes and a ten-page paper. THAT’S IT!!!

Although I gripe (alot) about school, I will miss some things. Here are a couple, in the order I could think of them:

  • Not really being responsible (or, still being a kid)
  • Beating Leslie at Double Speed at the coffee shop
  • Free pancakes on Finals Week
  • Going to IHOP at 2 am
  • Saying I go to the best school in the country!
  • The O’Colly crossword
  • Spring (the guys know what I’m talking about—but it kinda ended with “I do”)
  • The campus
  • Being able to be somewhat of a slob, and it be okay.

I have to say that it’s been a blast. I am going to be around next year, but not nearly as much. I now have to be an adult. Wish me luck.

one love.
