Grad Journal: Fall 2018, Week 4

Grad Journal: Fall 2018, Week 1

Week 1: Sept. 20th-26th My first week back on campus was great. I had a ton of energy and was excited to get back into the swing of things.

I'm taking three classes this semester and am shadowing a fourth. I'm also serving as President of the Art Alumni Chapter, the MFA Student Committee, and Co-President of the Photo Club. I'm hoping to step down to [...]
