It's been a month???

It's been a month since graduating...how has it already been a month? So far I have been trying to keep myself productive and not fall into the normal summertime slump and let my brain turn into mush. There was one day in particular that that did happen (the brain turning into mush part) and I wasn't particularly fond of it. It was the first day home alone, I was planning on getting to work on the first three things on my to-do list. Instead, I locked myself out of the house, in my pajamas, without a phone. I used up all my brain power for the day to figure out how to get back into the house and then crashed on the couch for the rest of the day. Since then, I've managed to fit everything back into my childhood bedroom, rearranged my room at least five times, started designing websites for both of my parents, thought about opening an etsy shop but don't know what to name it yet, and applied to what seems to be every job in existence (Thanks Underground printing for your interest in my application, wish you were here instead of Ann Arbor Michigan). I've gotten a couple interviews, and another one tomorrow.

I think drawing a doodle a day has been a big help. At the top of the page I write the date and something about what I did that day. Not wanting to write "I watched Netflix again" has been a real motivator. Then draw something, anything really. Most of what I've been doodling have been abstract linear forms or clumps of cells. I can really tell which days I didn't want to draw but did anyway. Every now and then I go back to those pages and add more to them in the hopes that they won't suck so much. I only have 6 more pages in the notebook and my pen has already run out of ink.

Finally, after all of that I am back in the mood to be making art again and not just doodling. But where to start?
