  • How am I Supposed to Say Goodbye?

    Another semester over.  Another twelve weeks of projects complete.  Another three months of new information, new ideas, and new lessons to be learned.  New friends to be made and new places to discover.

  • Improvement

    First off, I’d like to apologize to everyone for my lack of a post last week. Super-busy with normal school and stuff like that. Secondly, I found my portfolio.
