Today has nothing to do with Epcot.
And yet has Everything to do with Epcot’s legacy.
For today: 2 Years, 5 Months, 3 Days, 29 Classes, 126 Sleepless Weekends, & 500 Liters of Highly Caffeinated Tea Later…
I’m finally graduating with a Bachelors degree in Graphic Design from Full Sail University!
I’m also receiving the Advanced Achievement Award for my field, which includes giving a small speech as part of the ceremony.
One of many groups I have to thank for this are my frequent visitors to E82. I have a rather small artistic ego (still do), but it was YOU with your unbiased superlative comments and appreciation for the work I’ve done here that gave me the confidence to make the hard choice to go back to school full time (while still having a full time job). However, that choice also meant something had to give and ironically E82’s evolution has had to take the back seat during my formal education. Posts had to be squeezed between classes and sadly I could not participate in pivotal events (like Horizons’ 30th).
Those days should be behind us soon and I have a tangible list of over 100 projects for The Epcot Legacy including whole new sections, History/Legacy additions and certain projects that extend well beyond the confines of the digital site.
At nearly three years old, we’ve only scratched the surface of what E82 can be, and it just got a lot larger!
