I can’t believe it… I’m finally finished with my DU application. There were a couple times when I didn’t think I’d ever get it done. Especially since part of the application was the complete redesign of my portfolio whitneyfay.net. But I completed that portion last night and turned it in and today I went to the Registrar’s office and requested my transcripts be mailed to DU and that was the last step. Everything is finished so I can now start the month-long worrying process and hoping/praying every day that I get in.

Hopefully soon though I’ll be able to head up to Pittsburgh and check out the campus since I’ve never been there before. I’ll also get to meet with representatives from the department I applied to, so hopefully I can use the visit as a way to get my foot in the door and make them remember me for when it comes time to stamp my application “yes” or “no”. Regardless, I’m extremely excited to begin this next phase of my life, whether it means going back to school or finding something else. I’ve got a bunch of job opportunities sitting in my inbox to look over. A couple are actually full-time positions while others are just some freelance work that I’ll probably pick up.

I’m really loving being a freelancer. It gives you so much freedom to set your own hours, do the work you want to do, and get paid all different amounts.. The only downside is that sometimes there’s long periods of time between jobs and when that happens you’re kind of screwed for money.
