<title><![CDATA[Running out of Time]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1281371828&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[Well it's getting down to less than a week til I go to college. I still have to make sure we got the apartment, I have to order my laptop and software. I have to make sure I have all my loans and have my school paid for. I have just so much to do and I'm getting scared! There is so much left and so little time. I'm just glad I have Taylor here to help me pack and realize I don't need all 600 of my books and all the old stuff I kept for sentimental or random reasons. I'm also glad he's coming with me, he'll help me and keep my from freaking out. Hopefully I'll be able to update and add new college works to my portfolio. I know everything will work out, I'm just getting scared because it's not there yet.<br /><br />I hope to be making new works and adding some soon so stay tuned!]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[I'm Free! (for now)]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1277561978&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I've graduated, which means I'm free from the requirements of high school. But in a few months I'm headed off to spend four more years in school. Yet, these will be fun, because, well, it's college and it's in an area of study that I want, and is less general. (Although I wouldn't mind taking some math or French classes XD).<br /><br />Well now that it's summer, I'm working, saving up for college, but I'm also trying to have fun before I have to hit the books again. Monday or Tuesday I'm probably going to Cedar Point (that's an Amusement Park near Sandusky, google it, it's awesome!) with Taylor and his Dad and probably his sister. Then Friday through Monday I'm going to be in Washington, Pennsylvania with Taylor, his mom, his mom's boyfriend and his sisters. Taylor and I are watching his sisters while his mom and her boyfriend go to a wedding. Can anybody say hotel party?? And then about two weeks after we get back, Taylor, my aunt, my mom, and I are going to Philadelphia to look at apartments and other fun such things. It's going to be a blast, and before I know it I'm going to be in college and living on my own. It's kind of overwhelming, but exciting as well!]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Graduating in a few days!]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1274962700&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I'm back from California. It was a TON of fun there! We went to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm Amusement Park, and we even took a tour of Hollywood and Los Angeles. It was a busy busy week! Well I competed one day, and then I found out I made it to finals, I competed in finals two days later and then at the awards ceremony that night I found out I made the top 10, but not the top 3. I was not sure what place I actually got until we got back to Ohio. I placed 5th. I'm so proud of myself for doing so well, I mean winning would have been amazing, but placing 5th out of all the students who competed nationwide is quite an accomplishment!<br /><br />Well, my high school graduation is June 6th...only a few more days of class and then summer break and before I know it I'll be in Pennsylvania looking for an apartment with Taylor to move into before classes start at Moore College of Art and Design. I'm so excited to be graduating and moving out and on, it's a little scary, but totally thrilling! I just hope I can get a job and go to school and continue to update the site!<br /><br />Well I hope everyone is having a great start to their summer breaks, which should be happening soon for all the students reading. :D]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Plane Ride!]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1272938598&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm leaving for California tomorrow! (I live in Ohio, just so you know) I'm going to the Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California. I am competing at the national level in Graphic Design Promotion.<br />We were required to create a theme (25 characters or less, including spaces), design a logo, and utilize the logo in a flyer. I then have to give a 7 min (max) presentation on how I developed the theme, logo, and flyer. I placed first at both the regional and state level competitions.<br />We are flying at about 6 pm tomorrow, and we have a layover in Huston. It's about a 2 hour flight to Huston, and then a few hours we stay there til our 3 hour flight to California! I'm super nervous because (1) I've never been on a plane before, nor have I even been in an airport and (2) I'm worried I'm going to forget something, or something's going to go wrong with my luggage.<br /><br />But I have one major question...if I win a big trophy, how am I going to get it home?<br /><br />Well I'll be back on Sunday and I'll let you all know how it goes, wish me luck!]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Mix CD's]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1270348804&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[I think mix CD's are the sweetest gifts you can give/get; they are customized to the person: each song reflects on the giver and their feelings of the recipient.<br />They just give me the warm fuzzies inside, like a cup of hot cocoa on a cold, wet, winter day. It's great to be able to listen to the songs and think of why the giver put each song on there, what the significance to you they all hold.<br /><br />I received a Mix CD from an ex today. He also happens to be my best friend, and I also happen to love him. Each song makes me smile, they mostly say how he loves me, and how he apologizes for breaking up with me, and that I'm beautiful, and how he can't believe I'm still here for him. It just makes me feel so great that someone would make a CD like this for me.<br /><br />Mix CD's allow us to communicate how we feel about someone through music that others have created and through our compilation of the different kinds of music.<br /><br /><br />My New CD Playlist (This isn't the order they are on the CD, just the order my iTunes put them):<br />I'd Come For You - Nickelback<br />It's Hard To Say - The Used<br />Smother Me - The Used<br />Forever and Always - Bullet For My Valentine<br />Curses - Bullet For My Valentine<br />Hanging By A Moment - Lifehouse<br />It Was You - 12 Stones<br />'Til Death Do Us Part - American Diary<br />Burn The Night Away - There For Tomrrow<br />You Are So Beautiful - Escape The Fate<br />Happy - Never Shout Never<br />I Caught Fire - The Used<br />The Crush - American Diary<br />Not Good Enough For Truth Or Cliche - Escape The Fate<br />Note To Self - From First To Last<br />Wait For Tomorrow - Bless The Fall<br />Hear Me Now - Framing Hanley<br />Slow Dance - Framing Hanley<br />What Is Love? - Never Shout Never<br />My Heroine - Silverstein<br />Blue And Yellow - The Used]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[New Layout]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1269312561&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I finally decided to postpone making this site into a Wordpress theme due to the numerous complications I had, so I decided to stick with what I know, and use php to code it. Well I have finished as you can see! I hope you all like the new layout, it's more clean cut, more professional and displays my new logo I created! So let me know what you think of it!<br /><br />I am in need of affiliates, I have no "special rules" just ask me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!<br /><br />Thanks to all my supporters who helped me get this far, and encouraged me to finish this layout.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Winter Break]]></title>
<link>http://love-the-design.com/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1262223092&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[So I'm on winter break still and I am really bored even though there are many things I need to do; I have college apps to finish, portfolio to prepare, essays to write, required drawings to complete, art project to finish, logo to design, poster to make, advertisements to create...and the list goes on...<br /><br />So what have I been doing instead? Staying up til about 5 am, sleeping til after noon (3 on one day) reading (I've read Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox, The House of Night books one and two: Marked and Betrayed, I'm reading Chosen, Wicked, Pride and Prejudice, and probably more...) I also put a 750 piece puzzle together in 2 days...(it's an amazing puzzle, 37 inches long, 11.5 inches tall, its a panoramic view of a scene in Venice I believe)<br /><br />So hopefully I'll have works to upload to my portfolio and hopefully I learn to code a wordpress layout so I can code my layout and change this one, which is getting old...<br /><br />Well I hope you all have a Happy New Year!]]></description>
