In search of a Bright Ful future.

Well the computer operating system has been reinstalled.
not once, but twice
It's working now and I'm back to being my semi-productive self.

This week has definitely been Fulbright week.
To any who don't know, the Fulbright scholarship program is available for students who have just finished their bachelor degree or who are working on their graduate degree. Its extremely competitive but, if you get it, its an amazing opportunity.

My goal is to win the Fulbright scholarship grant to study storytelling in Ireland. I will study the style of storytelling and the storytelling culture that Ireland has developed. The fruit of this project will be a comic book about Irish storytelling, its history, and how its style can be used in education and business.

One of the challenges of the Fulbright, there are many, is that I must first make contacts in Ireland myself. I'm looking forward to this particular challenge, I enjoy meeting new people.

So this computer thing... it won't eat me.. will it?

I'm reformatting my laptop.
This is the computer that I do most of my work on, keep most of my stuff, and apparently encourage the most viruses. A virus has done something very weird to my system files and they're not where they're supposed to be anymore. This isn't really a problem as my computer still seems to be running fine... but its concerning. Concerning enough I'm going to destroy it all and start again from scratch. Its not like my computer didn't need it anyway.

So the computer is being reformatted. I've backed up everything several times and prayed to every computer god I know but its still very likely that I'll lose some kind of data. I just hope its not my Outlook contacts like it was last time.

Wish me luck guys.
And if you don't hear from me in 48 hours... just know that my computer is dead and the world is lost.

Homesick

I finally have finished a new comic this summer.
And I'm sorry I still haven't finished cleaning up my senior project. I'm still having a hard time looking at it.
There are things I really want to change.
But anyway.
May I present...

Homesick

I can't wait to get home and spend time on the coast with my family.
