I'm a Super Senior

It hit me yesterday. Finally.

I'm graduating in May. And I have a great job for the summer.

"How did it hit you Tim?" I'm glad you asked.

My alarm went off at 8:33 a.m. (yep, my alarm times always end with a 3, and have for almost a decade), and I turned to quiet it. Hmmm, maybe I should have hit snooze, rested another 10 minutes, jumped in the shower, went to my credit/no credit class, sat there electing not to take any notes for the fifth straight week, came back home, ate breakfast, carried on with my day, etc.

Well, I silenced my alarm. Then in less time it would take to... well, certainly less time it would take to come up with something clever that takes not a whole lot of time, I thought "Screw it," and went back to sleep for another three hours.

That's how it hit me. And it felt great!

When I did get out of bed, I took a shower, shaved, ate some cinnamon rolls, and then went on with my day as it normally would have gone. (Which made me wonder if I should have skipped my next class too...)

Let me be completely honest here. I have done that only one other time in five years. My junior year I elected to sleep in rather than go to my 8 a.m. graphic design class. Yup. It had to be an 8 a.m. But in the past five years I have had four 8 a.m. classes, and the one semester I was up at 7:03 five days a week, I slept in for only one class. Fascinating, isn't it?

Here I am now. These are my final eight weeks. Yeah, I still have papers to write, exams to take, projects to complete; typical student assignments. But, like always, I won't even worry one little bit about any of them.

Maybe I'll sleep through another class, maybe I won't. When the volleyball season ends in two weeks, maybe I'll go out to the bar more. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons, maybe I'll walk 9 holes by myself. On Fridays I'll walk 18 with Clark.

Do I need to have a bucket list or do anything wild before my college time is up? I don't think so (but I probably will). I've been overall happy with my time at Central. And I know I will miss it like hell in the fall, when I need to find a grown-up job.

But as my brother would say, that's Future-Tim's problem. And the future doesn't look too bad for him.

Logo Teaser 2

So, this personal logo project of mine is due Wednesday morning (just about 9 hours from now, actually), and I have been working on the finishing touches to each aspect. As you recall, the personal logo project consists of a logo sheet (similar to what you saw from project 2 with Tosche Station), a letterhead and second sheet, an envelope, and a business card.

Well, tonight I present to you my business card.



The Wing logo from the last teaser is used here in an abstract way, as it has been enlarged and rotated. Less than half of the logo is seen on the primary side, and that nice shade of blue is being used again (because I love that shade of blue, and it works).

The business end of this business card gives you my slogan, "Don't just wing it... Tim Wing it," and my profession (apparently I am a journalist and a graphic designer). My contact information balances out the card.

When all is said and done, I will try to figure out an efficient way to post images of the letterhead, envelope and logo sheet to finalize this presentation.
