A few things:

First, I'd like to say thank you to Bob-- I am currently saving my work a catrillion times a second juuust incase my computer internally combusts. Of course, this didn't save me from Monday's not so happy accident when I pushed moved the MAC screen in the lab juuuust enough to see the screen perfectly, but also just enough so that the power plug could fall out the back. Thank you Bob....you've jinxed me.

On a brighter note, did anyone else go to the "Find a Design Job" talk on Tuesday? It was funny to me how much a really did know already about finding a design job, setting up my portfolio, and other smart tacticts. Yet, when I was ready to frown on the fact that he hadn't told me anything I hadn't heard before, I realized that reguardless if I had heard the topics and suggestions before, I was yet to put them all to good use. What I'm getting at is, we can have all the tacticts, and information and rules on just about anything, but they are utterly useless if we never use them. Just think: where would you be if you used all the skills and suggestions that you've ever been told. (Well, the good ones anyway.) I wish I had a simple conclusion to this for everyone, but other than pure persistance, self-modivation and lots of self-discipline, I don't know of any shortcuts to using all your knowledge-resources to reach your potential.

Any suggestions?
