what to do, what to do?
Today I had to go up to campus to take care of a few things and I got pretty sad that I don't go to school there anymore. There are definitely a few things that I won't miss but BYU has been good to me and I will definitely miss it. Mostly I'm sad to leave the social aspect of it all- running into old friends, making new friends in classes, and having teachers/peers help me learn to be better. I have always liked school and I love learning new things(not that I will ever stop learning but school does make it pretty convenient). Plus I have been in school for almost as long as I can remember so this is a pretty weird transition for me. I think the main problem is that I am really bad with change. I have no idea what to do with myself and I change my mind every five minutes. On Sunday I decided that I was not going to look for a full-time job and just start making stuff to sell on Etsty, etc. On Monday I started a letterpress project and decided freelance work is a big pain. Today I have been home all day working on projects and decided once again that a full time job at a place where there are other PEOPLE would be great. We'll see what I think tomorrow. I am open to suggestions.

I hear you and feel your pain, Meredith! I was in your place 2 Augusts ago... so I got on a plane and went back to school (which was in a beautiful place, but not really as fun as BYU--I really miss art classes and discussions!) Since I got back in Oct, I've been working part-time in a bindery SLC (I took it as a temporary thing while I look for work in an institution), and in theory it's great because I finally have time and a place to do my own design binding and artwork part time...but on days I'm not paid, I don't want to go all the way to SLC. I've been saying for the past 3 months that I need to figure out what I want to do / what I should do next... so... if you come up with any great ideas, do share! (Maybe we should go back and do MFAs!) ;)
Graduate school, Etsy, and a little Gap. That's my suggestions. Maybe because I want to live vicariously through you. :)
Hhaha that is the mindset of all graduating persons, I promise. I say you get a part-time job as a designer to get your social and resume life taken care of, and then do your Etsy shop on the side. You are such a great artist, I'm sure you'll be successful either way!
