graduate

2009-05-21T20:50:00.011-04:00

CONGRATULATIONS GRAD 09 ! ! ! !

Today I graduated from college. I, Maria Haddad, graduated from college. I graduated from Parsons the New School for Design with a Bachelors of Fine arts in Communication Design.

It's easier for me to veer on the side of sarcastic and cynical, but I am feeling sheepishly corny right now so...

I can't believe I graduated. I can't believe I got through four years at Parsons. I can't believe I made every single deadline, turned in good work, didn't burn any bridges (sort of), never missed more than two classes, and made it to class consecutively for four years--- And made Dean's List many times too. I can't believe how hard I worked, and how it still doesn't feel like I worked hard enough. It gives me hope that I won't be a failure at life.

Life without parental supervision has been radically positive and I've become an independent (mostly)mature individual. I've learned that life is really ridiculously complicated, and I'm glad I still maintain some naivety. I've learned that emotions are like the weather, sunny and cloudy, and that it is normal to feel both. I'm trying to learn that even though it "isn't ok" to feel a certain way, it doesn't discredit your emotions.

College has taught me how to learn, work, and balance fun. I've learned that if I don't kick back and relax, I can't do work, and that the happier and more time I allow for myself, the more successful I am creatively. I've learned not to please others and to listen to myself.

I'm so grateful for all the support in my life, and all the honest amazing friends I have made. I'm grateful for the people I met that disrespected me because I've grown double as strong with every criticism. I'm grateful for my parents for supporting me even though I'm following a path they aren't familiar with, and I thank God for his love and constant guidance.

Thank you to everyone who has molded me these past four years.

Oh Experimental Jetset

New Thinking

2009-01-20T19:30:00.002-05:00

I've decided to try out this new method of creating a To Do list in order to be more useful with my time. I tend to think about everything I have to do, and then I don't do anything and revert to going on facebook, checking out a random blog, youtubing, or thinking about boys. Instead of doing that I'm going to start creating to do lists with a reference of time on long it will take me to do each thing.
Cool thinking from Jack Cheng. Check out this link to learn more about it

I really want to buckle down and start doing better work, it's just so hard at school doing a billion things at once, it's hard to fully commit sometimes.

This guy's photography is kind of interesting, but his website makes me want to vomit all over it. Actually some of it is definitely cool but I have the biggest itch to like redesign the site. On everypage theres a link thats like "Have a problem with this website?" So either he made it annoying on purpose...or he's just a fucking idiot.

some ideas

2008-12-23T16:46:00.003-05:00

I'm at school waiting on a massive lineup for the plotter so I thought I'd write out a few random ideas I've had floating around that I personally just don't want to forget

-- calendar calendar
-- Something dealing with the way different languages are translated to english, and the ideas that are lost. (think that artist earlier in blog-have to look up-- and david shrigley russian post in "lets wrestle"

--something dealing with xerox transfers and etching medium I learned the other day
--instant books
--printed matter photocopy book proposal--- Max
--book Hilary made with fashion imagery-- remember the size
--what happens to dreams once you stop dreaming
--michael's place in lIC that does cheap offset on newsprint

other stuff too--and I want to flesh things out and find matching imagery. I need to start jotting down everything I keep having good ideas and completely forgetting them.
