Photo Exhibit! - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

I know this is totally narcissistic, but I wanted to share because I've been in a mega-rut lately:

I entered a "Cultural Ambassadors" photo contest at the University where I currently work (and attended, twice, and will also probably hang myself once I find some sturdy rafters) and one of my photos got selected for the exhibit and contest! I'm stoked because they'll be up for graduation, so if I decide to pay for the damn regalia and anybody I know bothers to come to the ceremony, I'll be able to show off my pictures!

So I'm off to a little opening ceremony reception next Monday afternoon where I'll see the other entries and find out which one of mine got accepted. Sigh, this does not solve my dramatic/inconsequential life issues, but it's a pretty awesome distraction, non?

Congratulations!

That's exciting. Once you find out which one got accepted, let us know.. i.e. see!
And what sort of life issues are bothering you? Anything we can help with?

Thanks guys!

Aww, Louse - you're the best. It's just general existential job/relationship blah that all my friends went through when we did undergrad and now I have nobody to commiserate with. And maybe I just want to travel aimlessly and *not* get a job using the skills I got with my MA, or maybe I want to just move to the West Coast and start fresh, or maybe I just need to get out of my relationship. So you see, it's nothing big at all, so compared to any actual problems, I'm PERFECT!!

I'm eager to see what pic got chosen too...I'll update with thumbnails when I know for sure!
