Graduation & Portfolio Shows Scheduled
I’ve been extremely busy preparing for graduation, my final classes have been pretty tough. I have lots of work to do before I’m done. Currently I’m starting to focus attention on my display for the portfolio show, I have some pretty interesting ideas that are bouncing around and hopefully I can follow through on something really cool.
Speaking of that, the schedule for the Portfolio show and graduation are pretty tentative at the moment, but they have the dates and time frames sort of figured out. The portfolio shows will be September 23rd from 11 AM - 3 PM (time is a maybe, date is certain) and also on September 24th from 10 AM - 1PM (time also a maybe, date is certain). The graduation ceremony is going to be held at a *gasp* church… downtown. We don’t have any auditoriums, and apparently that was the best they could get. The Orpheum theatre or something would have been cool, but the school is acting really cheap lately. They also aren’t renting a space for the portfolio show, it’s been held right at the school, which should be interesting (in a not-so-good kind of way). Graduation is going to be on the 24th also, probably right after the portfolio shows, I assume. Maybe in the morning. Once I have certain times I’ll announce those here and also will be sending out invitations to immediate family/prospective employers.
But I don’t think I’ll be relying on the portfolio show to get jobs so I’m going to focus most of my attention on finding them the traditional way. I’m going to be sending out my resume and doing the whole cold calling routine in the next couple weeks. I’m going to send out to every place imagineable in this city in hope that I can find what I’m looking for.
Everyone is welcome, but not expected to attend the portfolio shows and graduation ceremony. They’re on a Thursday/Friday so you may want to make sure those days are free in advance. It’s getting exciting the closer I get, but I’m also getting more nervous than I think I’ve ever been about anything. Excedrin Tension Headache medicine has been my good friend these last few weeks.
Talk to you later.
