Revamping All the Things!

So 2012 is distant to be a years of "new starts." For one thing, I'm re-starting this blog, revamping it to more of documentary of my adventure in grad school. My new school highly encourages recording your process, and being aware of where you start with an idea and end with it. But also, getting ideas out. So I decided that this silly blog, I started so many years ago but never really used, would be my catalyst for my adventures into grad school.

Just a little post of what my day was like or what I hope to do during the day. Also, I hope to us this fun blog to keep me focus and accountable. You may not know this about me but I get troubly side-tracked. It's like when a cat sees something shiny or a squirrel can't remember if he turned off the gas stove.

With that being said here's a fun list of what I hope for my time in grad school.

• I'm not sure what the world has in store for me or my family but I do know it will be great. I really loved working in and around museums. I've worked with them for about 6 years. During and after I finished college, and it would be awesome to continue on a pass with museums. So working with museums will be a goal, what's on the other side of the finish line, something to aim for.
• I heart stop motion animation! And my advisor said I have skills that if fine tuned I'd be a good animator. She wanted me to take classes that will sharpen those skills.
• I have a very healthy addiction to the "Distributed/Social Networks." I do believe I'm on every social network you can be on. I'm sure I'm missing one or two but for the most part if I'm on the web I'm on a social network. I want to know more about this "social network" I want to learn how it is used, why it seems so important, how I can use it.
• I'm just so super excited to learn more and use it to make a positive impact in the world. 
• But most important, this is for me. This is important to me to accomplish. To see it though to the end and then go off and do something great with it.  

Not only do these fun fact apply to just me, they also go toward my family. I'm sure most of you know my husband is pursuing his doctorate at Columbia. How freakin' cool is that!? So we have big PLANS, but we've learned that PLANS don't always happen how you've PLANNED them. So we're taking our time and enjoying the experiences we've had so far with this journey, one day at a time.
