Getting Through Finals Month

It’s finals month and that means there are a few all-nighters coming my way. It means I am going to be under an immense amount of pressure to get done. It also means that by the end of it, I’m going to be a better visual storyteller.

So, while I am stressed, I also try to stay calm and positive to make sure I continue to work while enjoying the journey.

Earlier in the semester, my Branding of Me professor, Gary Kayye, gave us a book titled Rules of the Red Rubber Ball. It starts with the following quote by James Michener:

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. 

He hardly knows which is which. 

He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. 

To him he's always doing both.”

It’s become my favorite quote because it’s about pursuing your passion and enjoying what you’re doing while always striving for excellence. 

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing news and work from this semester. 

Thank you all for following along and supporting.
