I finished up my last final EVER yesterday! It feels like my birthday, I don’t feel older, but I know I am older. Of course I’m excited, but I feel like nothing has changed. I feel like I haven’t done enough work to get a degree. Silly of me, huh?

I did want to show you my last project for graphic design class. This was my first attempt to using flash. The class had the option to use either photoshop or flash to animate at 15 second animation. I gave photoshop a chance since it looked easier to use but the tweening was crappy and the animation as a whole was choppy.  I learned flash in an evening watching video tutorial on youtube. I was much happier with flash it ran much smoother. Converting it it gif was another problem on its own.

So what is going to happen after I graduate? Tim and I are moving back back to Visalia. Some people here (SJ) don’t understand why we are moving back to what they believe is a middle of nowhere town. But to us its not a middle of nowhere town. We have our family and support system there; it is so much cheaper and we able to afford the living coasts; we have connections to help us find the jobs we need; and it is home to us. I believe that we will be so much happier once we move back and start over in a different place.

We found a cute apartment that is a triplex that looks like house. Its secluded and quite, which its the noise that bothers us the most in San Jose. It has  a dishwasher, central air, back yard, and hook up for a washer and dryer. There are two bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room. We couldn’t be more excited to move to a bigger and better place for over 25% less in costs.

Right now I have to worry about getting everything packed and organized in a small space. I had to give up my desk for 2 weeks to make room for boxes. I need to get everything organized for this upcoming weekend with graduation ceremony and Fanime. And finally making sure we have everything in place and ready to go when we move in the beginning of June.

Which side is clean?

When Tim and I moved into this studio not much was clean except the carpet because that was actually new. One the things that was not cleaned was the blinds, and the deal was that we didn’t have to clean them when we moved out. But as you can tell they got really really dirty, especially in the kitchen. I have never had to clean blinds before and I never realized how much of a pain they are to do! I figure it would be better to do it while there are dirty dishes in the sink rather than getting dust and dirt all over clean dishes.

I had to get the step stool and I got up on the short counter to clean with Clorox wipes. I must have used 20 of those damn things. My back will be in pain and my hands will be broken out with eczema tomorrow. But I got it all done!  I should probably go over it again tomorrow just to make sure all the dirt of off.

Because of doing this I know don’t want to do the dishes! (We don’t have a dish washer so hand wash is the only option) I’ve been procrastinating that for a while now. I’m good at procrastinating. Maybe its part of my Irish heritage. *Shakes fist* Dirty dishes you will see your doom soon!

I’ve been so horrible- from a couple posts a day to BAM! none for over a month. I can’t think of any particular reason why, so I have non to give. I do plan on trying to be better about posts. To catch up on Meg’s life:

My sister had baby number 2, a girl on August 28th 8:50 am. Unfortunately I was unable to make it see my new niece but I hear that she looks like my dad and that my sister had an easy birth and short labor. I can’t wait to go back to Visalia to see her.

I present to you Haleigh Mae Fowler (pronounced Holly) with grandpa and big sis.

School started a couple of weeks ago. I hope to graduate in the spring, if everything goes right *crosses fingers* Who knows what will happen? (a rant about school comming soon)

Before school started work was scheduling me a ton of hours, not that I minded or anything I just wasn’t use to it. It seemed like things were slow for a while there and then all of a sudden we picked up! I think they would promote me there if I hadn’t have school. Damn school! Always in they way! (Just kidding) A part of me wants to get promoted so I can do better, but I know that wont spend the rest of my career there. I’m grateful and humble to have a job because I know that a lot of people out there don’t and are having troubles.
