I've been thinking a lot lately about living in a van and building a cabin.
What is that they say about turning into your parents?

Its the break now. I am pretty excited. I mean I still have my evaluation, but that is like half and hour. And I have to do my editions for my print making class, but that doesn't really count as work. I am kinda nervous about the eval, but I hope it will go okay.
I am really liking my school. My work feels a lot more academic and I feel like I am learning a lot, more than I did the first three years I was at college, which makes me really sad. But I did learn a lot at UW, it was just a different kind of learning, one that used a different part of my brain, one where the home work involved drawing and taking photos. When you have a class with a few hundred other students you are more a consumer of knowledge rather than an active participant.
I have a lot of plans for the break, I want to:
read a lot
write a lot
photography
walk and hike
find out more about how to publish my book
get that last drive-in
play the banjo

I feel like I am in a good place right now. I never saw myself as having a business plan, but I do now.
