Catching Up

I've been playing catchup since last Wednesday in all my class because I caught the dreaded norovirus (read, stomach virus from hell). At first I thought I had food poisoning because it hit me like a sack of bricks right after studio at around 6. No warning. I'd felt fine all morning (I'd eaten about half a bag of "sweet 16" donuts at work that morning...sooo was definitely feeling fine then) and then by that night I was totally miserable. Suffice it to say, the above picture accurately depicts my diet (and hairstyle) from Wednesday until Sunday. Not pretty. But I'm happy to say that since Tuesday I've consumed pizza, pickle chips de Raleigh Times, and several meals at Clark cafeteria with no ill results. So back to 110% now, which is good because I have roughly a million things to do before my trip to LA in two weeks.

• Catch up on all my inde study stuff (working on it...be prepared for several posts to follow all at once from stuff I've been working on since last week)
• Catch up on capstone stuff
• Catch up on back labs in agricultural and resource economics (did that yesterday...anybody need me to do your taxes or explain that concept of a quasi-public good? I'm your woman)
• Polish the 3rd draft of the essay I'm writing for Stephanie for her capstone project (I may post the final draft up here for comments even though it's not directly related to inde study stuff)
• For Biomedical Ethics: Write a response essay to an argument about abortion that we're going to debate this week (eek)
• and obviously continue to keep the creative juices flowing at work for 20 hours a week (last week successfully designed and wrote copy for a logistics firm, designed some logos, and made a brochure that made pictures of exhaust tips and fuel tanks look sexy).

Also I've got to get my butt in gear and finish my portfolio site enough to get it live. I did finish designing Josh's acting website: JoshLongActor.com which means I'm officially a webmistress. I told him if he's mean to me I can mess up his css like he wouldn't believe...so that's nice.

So now I'm sitting at Helios drinking a lovely chai and trying to pull all my notes and random saved passages together into something that holds together enough to post...but it's basically going to just be a brain dump, so here goes...
