I never did like not having a job, and I still don't. Even when I had paid severance from Grapevine I still preferred to go out and get a job. So it stinks that the only job I have is looking for a job! Between job hunting I've decided to enter some Graphic Design contests for everything from kayaks to post/invitation cards. Above is a miniature of my kayak design, except I do not know if the kayak name is appropriate, it is a new watercraft for surfing river rapids.
The actual design in Illustrator is over 7ft long and takes up about 44MB of memory.
I hope I get a job before my free trial of Illustrator/Photoshop/Dreamweaver runs out..
The one & only Grandma Irving!
Today provided a much welcomed break to the trend of daily summer job searching from the confines of the basement. Since I am unemployed still I tagged along with Mom, Grandma, and a bunch of other folks from the Church for a visit to Powell Gardens. I haven't been there since Booms & Blooms last summer, and my camera & I have really missed it. It was a shame the sun wasn't very cooperative for photography but I still had fun.
Here are a couple of photos I will drop some more in a later post.
Hmm... now that I am back home I guess I will have to change the description on my blog since Kansas City isn't exactly the middle of nowhere. I wonder how hard it will be to keep up with this since I am home too. I know I have a lot more photo practice I want to be working on so I have that going for me.
Otherwise, I have spent most of my time unpacking slowly and searching for a good summer job.. or even a random summer job. I may try something completely new just because it is going to be a tough market.
Professional dog walking here I come!
Here are a couple soccer photos..
I don't know what he was thinking rounding third base with such an expression, but I think I feel the same way. I'm rounding third and getting ready to head home! I was surprised they played Friday the dugouts were mud bogs and they put some boards down to walk on which didn't really help.
The weekend is pretty much over, we spent most of yesterday in Great Bend, KS for a two game scrimmage between Sterling, Hastings, and Great Bend. Although our team got whooped I think they had a good time playing; several new recruits and a few alumni players came along to play.
Regular classes have officially come to an end! Finals start on Monday and will be over for me by Wednesday; we get today off for "reading day". I personally don't plan on reading anything school related but some students might I suppose.
It will be a busy last weekend depending a little on the weather. There is supposed to be a baseball game at noon, but when I drove by this morning the field and dugouts looked pretty mucky; tomorrow there is supposed to be a soccer scrimmage between Barton and Sterling which will probably be canceled or someones fields will end up ruined. Sunday afternoon Godfrey is going to speak at Westbrook Baptist about Kenya and the Compassion program-which the church supports.
The wild looking image above is my final project for painting. He made the mistake of telling us we could do it however we wanted as long as it had lots of color. I took the Picasso approach to mine and really had a lot of fun doing it.
