Back in Vegas

School let out exactly one week ago, and I’ve had little time to sit and blog. Half the time was spent being social and the other working. I got a brief freelance gig with a local event series. The work was nearly the death of me and featured a really tight turnaround, yet I managed to get it all done with time to spare. The payoff was a little bit of spending cash, but more importantly, brownie points with some movers-and-shakers in the SF tech scene.

Aside from that, I’m taking this long spring break as a chance to refocus myself on the industry at large. I’m hoping to get back into reading and researching award shows. I don’t feel I’m ready to be entering any at the moment, but I’m researching the briefs and contest regulations nonetheless. When February rolls around next year, I will have spent a full year preparing for award season. I’ll hit the ground running as a result. My main goal so far: WIN A RADIO AWARD.

I also want to complete my online portfolio within two weeks from now. It’s about damn time something got put up that reflects my new role as a creative. Other tangent goals include working out at least some amount during this break, eating at least four protein-infested meals a day, and going hiking/snowboarding at least once.

As for Vegas itself. Home is home. I haven’t been away that long, but oh, have I missed the heat and laziness this town culls within me.
