As 2008 comes to a close, here’s a look back and summarization of each month of 2008 in one or two sentences:

January: I finally moved out of my bad living situation in Brooklyn and decided to try commuting for a semester. My best friend and I saw P. Diddy sing “More Money More Problems” live, without Mase.

February: I got tattooed for the first time.

March: Loving life and Connecticut, and I started blogging! I also designed the CTHC 2008 comp packaging/teeshirt logo.

April: Spring semester is winding down and as I finally start to love school. Me and most of my friends see someone get tazed at a Girl Talk show in New Haven.

May: I started a summer internship at ArtSpace in New Haven, CT. I spent my time here designing a 400-page book and promotional materials for City-Wide Open Studios, and gallery sitting/taking pictures of myself when I got bored.

June: Landed a Fall-semester internship at W magazine! I quit my waitressing job and haven’t been employed since.

July: I went tubing down the Farmington River, jumped off ropeswings into resevoirs, swam in 85 degree pools everyday, drank slurpees, and jumped off cliffs. Outdoor summer ‘08 officially tops roadtrip summer ‘04.

August: I decide to move in with Jazzi and give New York another try.

September: Started my internship at W, did this info graphic.

October: Landed my first art show. Turned 20.

November: Sold my first piece of work on etsy to Priscilla De Lima.

December: 3 pages I designed were published in the December ‘08 issue of W magazine (with Blake Lively on the cover) I’ve been meaning to post scans! I also re-designed the blog layout and finished my best semester at Parsons to-date.
