Critique (of myself?) 3.24

Of course 30 minutes before my portfolio review, while fighting with the lab printer, I see an email offering VOX TA design positions. I've been fretting over what I'm going to do to keep myself busy after this semester and everyone else is gone. NExt fall is going to roll around and I will find myself a fifth year senior. (yikes) Never thought that Vox, the source of some of my stress would be my saving grace.
Every once in a while I get these small ideas, in the midst of chaos and feeling completely overwhelmed, that offer a small glimpse of clarity of my near future. That little window of light came in the form of 6 emails from Kim Townlain and another portfolio review with Jan.
And let me know what you think:

1. Assistant art director for Vox this summer. Applying for this job, I'm acknowledging that I'm not a type A personality like a lot of designers I know, I'm not as detailed oriented and focused on the micro design as I should be. Jan and I agreed that maybe an assistant-ship would be a better fit for me. I feel completely uncomfortable if there would be no one above me to check what I do before it was published. I don't need Jen Rowe after me :)
2. TA for beginning design class next fall. I think this will be a good fit and not to mention fun. Little budding mounds of clay for me to mold! I want to stay involved in design, the J school and of course do something that I could add to a resume.
   

Im going to apply for both and hopefully things work out in my favor. It's going to be weird to be here without everyone but keeping myself busy, adding to my portfolio, and building my resume just might make it a little more bearable.
