summer....summer...summertime

So I just finished my junior year of college [gosh time flies...] at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, also known as RPI [oldest technological institution in the United States]. I decided to stay on campus for the summer for numerous reasons. One of them being the horrible economy and I couldnt find a paying internship. So I am working 2 jobs on campus. I think it should be a pretty fun summer since alot of my friends are staying too. So i'm excited :-)
Along with working I have some plans for the summer. I love the summer because it allows me to reflect back over the last academic year, adjust/ make changes, and prepare for the next year. So here are Miss A. Erika's plans for the summer:
  1. ROADTRIP!!!! [NYC, Atlanta, Daytona Beach, Pittsburgh, Boston, CT, RI, Montreal....everywhere my little 07 Accord will take me...]
  2. Leisure Reading [I am sooooo busy during the school year that I hardly have time to read books for class much less leisure books so the first book on my list is Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man by Steve Harvey]
  3. Assemble my portfolio [As a design student, my portfolio shows my capability and skills as a designer since I will be looking for a full-time position in near future, why not get started??? And I will be posting some of my projects tooo....]
  4. Photoshoot [For the revision of my final project for Typography....more details later]
  5. Continue to blog
And plenty of other random stuff i'm sure...knowing me it will grow as the summer progresses....so in honor of the summer season....

first and foremost....

So hello blogworld....after much thought, delays, procrastination, etc., i've decided to enter the blogging scene as a blogger. To the people who know me, blog reading is a part of my daily routine so its no surprise that I finally created my own. Probably more of a surprise that it took me so long to create one. But here i am...Ashlee Lindo the blogger.

So follow me on my journey as i evolve into the best me i can be.....
