This just serves to let you know: it's been Hell Week here, and I've been working the guts out of pretty much every hour of the day. Fortunately, I'm done with homework all except for one ten-page paper on Walden. That's not due until next week, but I'm going to get through with it as soon as I can, hopefully this weekend. I haven't been doing a whole lot outside of schoolwork. As you may surmise, I'm looking forward to coming home and relaxing.
-I tried to get a winter job, but the hiring person from Hillman says it wouldn't be cost-effective enough for them to train me for two weeks during the busy inventory period of the year for a four-week job. Even though I'd be coming back for spring and summer breaks, it wouldn't work, she says. So instead, I'm going to focus on my fonts. I'll be buying a copy of the industry-standard program (well, there are competing programs, but one of them - FontLab), as opposed to the watered-down version of it that I have now, and then I'll be able to make my fonts of professional quality, and start actually selling them, instead of talking about selling them. I've already talked selling with a guy from Veer, though we haven't mentioned any numbers yet; that'll start after my font becomes pro quality. So, hopefully that will start me off making money with fonts, and also it'll be cool to be "officially" a type designer, one whose fonts are for sale on the internet. It'll be really cool to start seeing my font in use all around the world. Now, you're not likely to start seeing it in your supermarket or just anywhere once it starts selling; there's too much type for every font to become widely seen just because it's being sold. But someone (I hope, at least) will use it for something, and I think Veer does a thing where buyers are encouraged to send in specimens of the font in real-life use. I'll enjoy that.
I guess you can tell I like fonts and talking about them.

But on a note of good cheer---Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way. Gpa
That's correct: Christmas is coming! Oh man, it always makes the best possible end to a year. Sometime this week, if I have time, I'm going to have to shop for poofongs. Otherwise, I guess I'll do it while I'm in O-hi-o.
O-Hi-O is out of poofongs but they still have an abundance of Poofungs ( an upgraded poofong). Therefore, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle all the way. Gpa
PS. Good luck on your exams
How "poofunctory"
