"In Summery"
Saturday, September 20, 2008
You might be wondering what is up with the title. Well, as your may know (or not) I'm part of a street team called EtsyBloggers and every other week, they present us with a couple of topics to choose and post about on our blog. This weeks is "In Summery" or in summary of our summer. So here goes...
A lot has happened this summer. In fact, it feels pretty weird to me not signing up for classes or getting nervous for the first day of school. This is because I just graduated from college with a B.A. in Art, concentrating on Graphic Design. I graduated from California State University Northridge. Even though school makes me nervous sometimes, I think I'm going to miss but I'm glad that part of my life is over.
But the hard part started... finding a job. With the economy like it is, it is very hard. I still try very hard to stick my foot in the door.
Anyway, after graduation I took a trip, like a road trip, from New Orleans to New York with a big bus full of Australians! It was a lot of fun, humid, but fun. I loved exploring my own country, parts I've never been too! I'd love to visit New Orleans and Savannah, GA again!
After that, I came back home and mostly worked on my Etsy shop. Making new things and mostly promoting it. Now I'm in the full swing of things, posting everyday new items and posting here everyday also. I have a few leads for freelance graphic design jobs so all in all, I'm doing pretty good.
I can't wait for fall because I love "California weather" in the fall. It's perfect! Thanks for reading and write to you soon!

Sounds like you had a great summer! Congrats on the BA :)
I love New Orleans!
Good luck with the job search!
good idea of taking a trip when you're not involved with a lot of other things.
I've worked for my museum for over 20 years, and found that new (within 10 years) hires have been volunteers, that slipped in when someone else left. Not knowing your situation and the commercial world, it might be something to think about: volunteering.
