Week 1: Sept. 20th-26th My first week back on campus was great. I had a ton of energy and was excited to get back into the swing of things. Week 1 was essentially a week of class orientation plus preparing for and carrying out the Alumni Reunion & Pop-up Show. The whole week was packed full of activity, but it was all good. I'm taking three classes this semester and am shadowing a fourth. I'm also serving as President of the Art Alumni Chapter, the MFA Student Committee, and Co-President of the Photo Club. I'm hoping to step down to [...]

This was a short week thanks to a conference that I'm flying to Texas to attend tomorrow, but it was still plenty stressful.

Now it's time [...]

On Monday my neurologist approved me for a lumbar which gives me hope that some of my health issues will soon dramatically improve. I got a decent amount of work done, including a crap ton of work for the Photo Club and [Enclosed] (a photography show I am working on). Attended my first Kappa Pi meeting -- I really enjoyed it. Attended the JSU Art Faculty Show which was filled with gorgeous work. Met with Kacie and Alan from Alumni [...]
