I applied for my degree online. Turns out I applied for the wrong degree — creative Media Technology instead of Digital Graphics Technology. I went to the Student Services office (an e-mail was required: Beckie Taulbee rtaulbee@nmsu.edu) and hopefully got it straightened out. I'll find out in December. A good thing came out of it, though; it turns out I qualify for an associate degree in General Studies as well. So I applied for that too.

Updated my résumé. I'll need to update it again toward the end of the semester to include Final Cut Pro. I've kept it generic, and I can customize it for specific jobs.

Made an appointment with Matt to get the degree certification rolling.

Working on business card. Coming up with a good logo has proved difficult. I felt it should be more than just a cool way of showing my initials. I want people to remember my name, not my initials. I couldn't think of a symbol that represents me or connects my name to graphic arts. But now I might be on to something.  I'm working in Illustrator on an oil well. People can associate "well" with "Wells." Instead of oil gushing out of the top, there will be stars and rainbows and creative whatnot. Well, Wells; creativity bursting forth – it's got the whole package!

Oh, and I've added a photo to the blog.

First thoughts:
I need a logo.
Portfolio website I did in spring is a good start.
Resume I did over summer a good start. Needs to be more creative.
