Yeah, another one of those damn metaphors. Anyhow, several years ago, when I was living in Milpitas, I crawled into my own little social cave. I shared this with a few people, Kate, Jun and Paul to name a few. My relationships with other people were muddy so I just shut myself out from all of that until I moved to Sacramento.
It’s not as easy as I thought it would be to re-adopt that introvert lifestyle. I’m a bit too flamboyant of a character to just completely stop behaving the way I do. I don’t want to stir anything up. I want to get by this last semester without having to deal with people—if you catch my drift.
I guess another reason (amongst the other thousand reasons) I yearn to live in a big city is because they are far too big of places to consistently cross paths with others. I won’t have to close myself in since there’s far too many people for anybody to give a damn about what I am doing.
Aside from my social standing with people, design-wise, things are coming along pretty well. I’m heading over to Dallas for a Student Show and Conference and submitting my portfolio into national competition. Sure, I’m out of a job due to political squabbles but I will have time to focus on polishing up my portfolio into the work world.
Anxious. Nervous. Excited. 3.5 fast-paced months and counting.
