oh, hello dear

sxsw interactive was awesome. tuesday was spent catching up on some sleep and enjoying the chilly, rainy weather by staying in bed late with the pup.

check out South By Texas State to catch up on all the awesome stuff we covered {evan williams-CEO of twitter, gary vaynerchuck, austin kleon to name a few}

I haven’t slept well the past couple of days, and I think it’s starting to show.
It could be because my mind won’t shut off.
Or it could be because harper has taken up snoring like an old man at night. Either one, really.

It’s funny, I’ve always had dark under eye circles, it runs in my family I guess.  But since I’ve been in graduate school, they’ve gotten much worse.  I use hardcore concealer to attempt to you know, conceal them, but it’s no use, really.  By mid-afternoon, they’re back.  I should learn to embrace them…maybe.

I’m starting up a new project, called South By Texas State. I’ll be working with fellow new media graduate students, covering sxswi (south by southwest, the interactive part). All the big names and up and comers from the new media/social media/interactive journalism/tech industry will be there.  Last year’s crew won an award for their site, so we’re very excited to continue it for sxswi 2010.

Maybe it’s this semester that’s got me up at night (I wish that was all).  I find myself awake at night thinking about the next few months and it seems to weigh me down.  But on the other hand, I’m trying to approach it was a positive attitude.  This year is going to bring a lot of firsts for me, but I guess it’s the perspective you have on things that really makes all the difference.  I’m just glad that The Nanny is on at 2 a.m. on Nick at Nite to keep me company.
