I'm feeling sooo accomplished! for once ahaha.
Checked out summer classes, applied for two internships, fixed up my resume, cleaned up some examples of my design work, looked up volunteer opportunities, and applied for two jobs. whew. This summer I want to keep myself busy and productive.
I definitely want to take web design. I'm not sure if I'm going to take web design at SJSU for my major (I probably will) but I want to get ahead of the game by taking it at SJCC. I can't take any more GEs from SJCC, though. sad :(
I then applied to a design internship in Milpitas and to a graphic design internship online for LIVE Magazine. I really really wanted the magazine internship one really badly!! Unfortunately they never even got my e-mail; the provided e-mail address was totally full and my e-mail was rerouted. Ugh. I guess everyone else really wanted it too -__- I will settle for the Milpitas one--it's better than nothing, but not really what I want to do I think. They're focusing on signs and I really want to do magazine layout work. It's $12 an hour which is decent.
Then in case the internship falls out, I applied for two jobs: guest services at Great America and a spot at the new Yogurtland in Milpitas. I REALLY WANT TO WORK AT YOGURTLAND!!! :D:D:D:D It won't give me as much experience as the guest services one at Great America, but it would probably be a lot of fun! The Great America one is a backup plan and should improve my customer service skills.
Then if ALL OF THEM fall out, I will settle for a volunteering position at Happy Hollow Park or a tutoring position somewhere. Ugh.
New productive me, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's good you're taking web design at SJCC. I don't even know if they offer it in any of the BFA classes, but the only art class I know of that actually touches a bit on web design is ART 74...
Good luck on getting one of those jobs! If you get the Yogurtland one expect to see me a lot, hehe... ;)
thanks candice!! yeah there are so many jobs/internships out there for web design and i only know like the bare basics of html -__- where did you learn web design?
I self-taught myself web design since middle school, but I did take a class at De Anza on Dreamweaver to see if there were any gaps in my knowledge.
I'd say the best way to learn outside of class is to look at the source code of web site designs you find to be interesting and then take them apart.
HI!
I actually currently work at the Yogurtland in Cupertino! It's definitely not the greatest job, but it's all righttt. All depends on your boss, in my opinion. Mine is kinda...mehh. But it's easy work for me so I can't really complain. Good luck with your summer plans! I need to start planning too! Transferring to SJSU :)
This is Franny
thanks for the motivation! :)
im applying at places near target on tuesday! gotta pay for the apartment somehow. hopefully we can take that web design class together! haha even taking classes over the summer together. :D
