This will not be the best blog post ever because I tend to over think things.
My name is Laura, and this will probably be my first proper attempt at blogging. Sure, I have kept personal diaries in the past and written blog entries for class work, but this will be the first time I actually try to write regularly and with focus.
Allow me to introduce myself…further. My name is Laura, I am 22 years old and I am currently living in Austin, TX. I came here from Laredo–a horrible little border town with a few lovely people and too many problems outside of that–in 2007 to study Radio-TV-Film at the University of Texas and successfully graduated this may. I am now working for UT in our Center for Teaching and Learning.
I just started working, and consider myself to be in a bit of a transitional phase. I have always loved to draw because I adore animation, and I hope to attend graduate school for 3D Animation and Modeling. At the moment, though, I am trying to adjust to work life, both to my daily duties and finding a balance with my life outside of the job. My hope is to stay ambitious and keep bettering myself.
Some areas I would like to improve and things I’d like to do include:
Productivity on personal projects (to actually complete a few!)
Drawing skills
Time management
Intelligence and staying informed about news/politics, reading more
Fashion style/appearance
Developing craft skills so I can do more DIY projects
Video Production skills
Culinary skills
Be in better physical shape
Do more to show my friends I care about them.
These are not really goals. They are things that may or may not happen. But they things I would like to get somewhat better at. Documenting my progress is not the purpose of this blog, but rather this blog should be a space to express myself through words and with focus. The next post will be more coherent because I will have a topic to write about.
Also, I will probably come back and edit this at some point so that it will make more sense in retrospect. For now I am letting my brainstorm phase be free and exist without worry. As I fear that worry of sounding stupid or whatever is what often holds me back.
Cheers.
