Just a Thought

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.

FSU

Grades and Graphic Design

Academic Studies, Graphic Design, Web Development

Just a few minutes ago I logged into FSU’s online system (blackboard) and checked my grades for the Spring ‘07 semester. The good news is that half-way through Grad School I still have straight A’s! The bad news is one of them was an A-, so I don’t quite have a 4.0 GPA anymore. Oh well. I’m still doing better than I’d expected, so I’m content.

The Spring 2007 term is over, but as of Friday my summer plans are finalized. Boy am I going to be busy!

2 Finals, 1 Day, and 1 Brain MIA...

Academic Studies

What a day!! After enduring two comprehensive final exams in the same day, right now I feel like I my mind has gone missing. Either that, or it's so numb that I just can't feel it sloshing around in my head.

The first exam was at 8:00am (way too early for this night-owl) and included questions about Gestalt theory, Semiotics, Primitivism, dots, lines, shapes, textures, fonts, and more elements of Visual Communication.



 

Forrest's Spring 2007 Final Projects/Papers

Academic Studies, Web 2.0

Screenshot: Visual ViewportScreenshot: Visual ViewportOn Monday I finished work on the final projects and papers for the Spring '07 academic term at FSU. This concluded about two-weeks straight of "nothing but schoolwork" focus... or so it seemed. The process of setting-up this new blog (doing something completely of my own choosing) has been cathartic -- even though I know that I have final exams later this week.



 

Welcome to a New Adventure

Web 2.0

I've been studying Web 2.0 "social networking" -- blogs (web logs), content aggregation, free tagging, etc. -- for a full academic year now, and so I decided it's well past time for me to start my own. This online journaling activity will provide an outlet for me to document my thoughts on various topics that interest me. I'm sure some entries will be of little interest to anyone except me. On the other hand, hopefully at least a few of these postings will be interesting and helpful to those of you who stop by to read the D-Blog.
