My First VCU Brandcenter Semester is over!!!!

Wow that was a lot of work. A lot late nights. A lot of going to sleep and waking up at odd times. A lot of arguments with my girlfriend. This all equates to a lot of stress. Even with all this I was able to get out of this semester with some pretty good work for my portfolio and so far I have 3 As and a B. I really didnt think I'd be able to survive this semester. There were definitely some points during the semester where I was ready to give up. I finished up everything on Tuesday but I'm not heading back home to be with my family and friends until Saturday because I need time to recuperate. Yup, the Brandcenter experience is definitely as advertised. I somehow found the time to go to 1 party this semester and that was back in August before classes even started. I hadn't had time to write another blog entry in over a month.

Probably the thing that was affected the most from this semester was my relationship with my girlfriend. Every other week she would think I was cheating on her. Why? Because I couldn't stay on the phone with her too long because I was either too tired or too busy. It felt like I was constantly busy over here. Everytime I would finish 1 project I had to jump on another project for another class. This school requires a lot of effort and toughness and of course alot of creativeness.

Good news is I'm more prepared mentally for the next semester. I know my work habits and I know what works best for me now. Bad news is I have 3 more semesters like the one I just went through.....
