So It's been almost a year again. I spent a year doing an intensive internship in a 1st grade class and taking classes full time. It was wonderful.

Just finished a semester long College Program at Disney in May. It was amazing. Now I am getting suited up to intern (co-teach) in an elementary school as a grad school program. Haven't had and won't have much time to draw at all...but I've got something in the works... and if all goes well, it's going to be awesome. Of course it probably won't all go well, but I'm gonna try my darnedest! :D   ( spell check insists there is an "e" between darn and dest
