I’m multitasking — blogging while working on three different projects. I’m almost done with the copy (text) for the DESKPUB self-promotion ad — I’m going to send it off to our assistant leader in a while. I’m still working on the DESNCON promo ad for Kenny Rogers Roasters. AND I’m also working on the script for my radio play for SONDESN.

Hmmn… According to some psychological researches, men are unable to multitask. I don’t want this to turn into a debate — I’m not about to make sweeping generalizations about the opposite sex nor am I going to be a traitor to my own. The truth is, I don’t really believe that men can’t multitask. But I have to agree with some of the research findings, men can be a lot more focused, maybe that’s why some people think that men might find it hard to divide their attention — it’s just a matter of putting things in context.

Okay, moving on…

I’ve made a decision about school. I’m going to file for a Leave of Absence next term. My reasons (in no particular order):

Every morning before I leave for school, my mom panics because she can’t find her car keys. I’m hoping that tomorrow we won’t have another episode of that because I found the keys in the bathroom and placed it on top of her dresser.

I had a pretty good day. My DESKPUB prof loved my design studies. I digitalized them during class this morning then emailed them to him.

I spent a few minutes during lunch sorting out the papers in my planner and I found this:

I’ve been meaning to blog but I’m swamped with schoolwork. I had to attend two ORDEV-B-accredited activities last Thursday then I had a make-up class yesterday (Friday). Only four of us showed up — well, six actually..but the last two showed up right after our professor had already left, they ran into him on his way to the elevators and they said he seemed pretty annoyed.

I have to work on a plate for DESNCON this weekend — a sustaining ad for a product (I can’t reveal what it is because we’re using it for another class), it has to be rendered full-color on a 10″x15″ illustration board. I’ll probably work on the project for my DESKPUB class first. I need to make 2 design studies each for a newspaper and magazine ad.

Then I have to revise some stuff for PROFES1 AND attend one more ORDEV-B-accredited activity and write the reflection papers so I’ll have one less course to worry about.

Good news: All of the courses I enlisted for next term have just been approved by my academic adviser.
