I Have Been Better
It has been ages since I've written for myself or even for a blog. I guess the last update was June of 2008. So what have I become, my dearest friend? A slave to the shackles of higher education but being published none the less for my intensive research about one large topic in life: Culture.
Writing about what defines culture this year has taken me for a loop. Not only have I researched its policy, specially cultural policy of the North West and most importantly Portland (published piece for symposium comes out next month, YAY!) but also the way we publicize culture while importing and exporting it. Then after that I decided to learn how to market cultural products, and that's when I jumped on board for KWVA Sweet 16 Birthday Bash (follow link post directly above). And now I'm currently doing somewhat of a wrap-up on culture by piecing together an advertising campaign, visual culture, and cultural theory. How fun! Though it's been long and intensive and I feel like I've fallen off the map of fun, I've taught myself a lot about the important aspects to take in. I've come to this point where I totally understand that my education relies solely on my motivation and not much more than that. Sometimes it's sad to think about how much I've wasted financially on such a lesson but then again where else would I be had I not pursued this? It's hard to say...
I wonder if others feel this way as they come to the grinding halt of something they took so long to accomplish?
Luckily it's almost done!
