So I've done exactly what I didn't want to do... I forgot to blog. I actually have forgotten all about this page that I have started. I realized that I haven't blogged in a very long time when I was washing the paint and glue off of my hands from my big project.
Though my big project is not my excuse as to why I have forgot about blogging for so long. I have been working a lot lately, we are so understaffed that it isn't even funny. In fact I worked five days this past week when I am supposed to be part-time and working a max of three days. I'm in Grad School dammit and I need to do well.
I also have been focusing on a project that require a graphic design solution to a problem. The problem is that I do not have a problem. I have been looking at the world like a tourist and studying/analyzing pieces of what I see daily differently. I have also been listening to Ted Talks for ideas. I have been researching past Graphic Design Thesis' and Professional Graphic Designer Thesis' and autobiographies. None of this has helped. I wanted to work off the idea of a global soul from my black book project that I have filled up a book already and I need to purchase a second book.
Now looking back at the project I am thinking that maybe I am supposed to go in a different direction. I shouldn't fight where my tortoise mind is taking me. My roommate and I have come up with a problem tonight, thank god because it is due tomorrow. We think we are on the verge of a breakthrough you know like Napster or Facebook. People and news stations will be reading this blog once I become famous for my fabulous idea of not only a thesis project but a fantastic source for travelers. I have broken away from trying to find a problem that goes hand in hand with a global soul and moved on to the relationship between traveling and having a global soul.
This is ok, I love to travel so it is not a topic that I would hate to study. It is just not where I thought I would be going with this project I was actually hoping for more of a personal reaction instead of a solution for a global good. Maybe the personal finding will come.
