one of my mentors told me to create a portfolio of my project works to give my resume more credibility. now, i KNEW that, but have never really gotten around to actually coming up with one. the notion of having to come up with design layouts and color schemes, not to mention figuring out what goes in the certain places on the site doesnt appeal to me. why should i spend my sunday afternoons figuring out what goes on this nonexistant website when i can spend them doing nothing at all? but then, given the fact that i am looking for a job in a very diligent manner, i ought to take the time and be a web designer for a day or two.
the problem is, i HATE webdesigning. while i envy people who have really cool sites, which they can showcase on their resumes and bring with them to interviews, i just couldnt care less about it. there has to be another way ...
was supposed to go to the annual chicago air and water show today but didnt get around to doing so because of numerous reasons, one of which being we both got lazy and didnt wake up till 1030am. and if you know anything about the chicago air and water show, you will agree that 1030 is too late of a time to be waking up to trek across the millions of people on north avenue beach. oh well - its not like i care about jet fighters and stealth bombers. those things are a disgrace to the environment.
things to do for the next year:

things to do for the next year:
- make my damn portfolio
- meet with as many top level people
- write interesting and thoughtful article on these people that i meet and publish it at certain avenues
- be a great program coordinator/grad assistant in the new and upcoming job
- figure out what to do about the other tech support position that has also been given to me
- join WITI through being a board coordinator
someone says that when it rain, it pours. id like to draw the analogy with my luck with job searches, specifically on campus ones. while a few months ago i was pissing myself, worried about not being able to find a good job on campus after i get done with my internship, here i find myself with two jobs and cant even find the time to do them. gotta love the pouring rain
