Getting into the swing of things

Although i am still sick (and even worse now) i can honestly say that i am finally getting a grip on things in school! i am starting to realize how much i love my program and the people in it! All my fellow second years are turning into family members and all of my professors are turning into very influential people (i don't want to say parents because they are far from that but there is a connection quite similar in the idea that they are leading us to grow to be what is best for us). As each class passes i am beginning to feel like i am really learning where i am heading and where i want to end up in life. Professors like Ben Tew have been informing us what the reality of design in real life is. Although it is scary it does help me understand what i need to accomplish here at SU before i get out into the "real" world. He tells us about how, as a designer, you mostly work in teams, and put in many hours and various other facts like this, which may be scary but i feel like if i put time into it, i can do it.

The main thing i find pretty funny is watching myself grow apart from the rest of the students around me. For once i am actually putting school as my major priority because i really love what i am doing here. i'm not saying that they don't care about school but i sit around at night actually taking time and effort to do my work instead of screwing around for once. Now clearly i'm not a professional adult and i still want to have fun, but i believe that i am just saving that for the weekends and my free days. Basically, all i want to say is if you find something you want to do for the rest of your life, don't let anything else get in the way!
