on the elevator on way to class. overhear conversation. kid talking about a girl who lost three iPhones within two week period who paid him to write her papers... I'm a good, responsible student. how do I find myself in jeopardy of failing all of a sudden?!?!?

this cyberped blog is a great resource for us, and i just want to say thank you to meredith and ray for their work to provide us with such resources.

thank you.

i know that over the summer i would like to revisit a lot of these websites to explore in much more depth what all is out there.

thanks again!

i feel lost. i can't find the "about us" area of the blog.... who are you? (head over to the new area of my website under cyberped portfolio and check out my "who are you" presentation) ;)

i found myself reading an article questioning grad school... to-go-to-graduate-school-or-not?
it is very much an individual question and i gather this blog is written from more of an art administrators pov. (by far not my expertise) but i found the article engaging some of my own thoughts about grad school. it has not been easy. pretty damn challenging really, but i'm happy about that. one part that stuck out in this article was

"If you choose to go back to school, you’ll likely learn some very valuable lessons, build up a network of peers, and perhaps have other doors open to you that may not be there otherwise."

so true. in some respect, this sums it up simply. i am learning valuable lessons and learning more about myself and what interests me. who knows what doors may open, but the main thing here that i key in on... my network of peers. my friends. my new family. :) i'm a cheezy dork, i know, but to my fellow m.a.t.-ers and those m.a.a.-ers i have come to know, i love you guys. bear hugs! let's try to not fall out of touch over the summer. work hard, play harder! see you in the sun!!!!
