hello! how are you?

My name is Ally or Alison (if you know me personally outside the digital realm). I am a second year university student. Hopefully I will graduate on time but somehow, that does not seem like it is going to happen because I keep on finding classes that I want to take. Currently, I am a Digital Arts major and Spanish minor. Sadly, I took too many social sciences since well I'm interested in them but I'm not completely and totally immersed into just one. Gosh I wish there was major where you could take whatever. Then you could say that because you took all these amazing classes you are well-rounded and thereby prepared for life. But that would never happen so I guess I should get back to that whole planning thing. Anyway, next year, I plan on studying abroad and doing an internship in London, which should be amazing. I can't wait to start that chapter in my life.

I have an addiction to Godiva and Belgium choclates. I absolutely adore mango salsa with crab cakes and I believe that gelato was the best thing to ever happen to humankind. Pretty much as a college student, my life revolves around food, sleep, and class. I love the idea of taking naps whenever I feel like it just because I can. Lately, I have discovered different types of cheese. I never knew that cheese on crackers could be so good. I blame this discovery on the fact that dorm food was so awful that I resorted to the next cheapest alternative that did not involve a microwave. Another good thing about this meal is that you can basically add anything to it like fruit.

the computer & i

I've never really been formally taught how to do this whole "web design" thing so my skills are in fact quite lacking. I would like to think that I am pretty good at the graphic part but I am embarassingly bad at coding. So please bare with me as I continue to learn the ropes.

I made my first layout featuring Sandra Bullock on March 16, 2003. My first host was Steph at with-you.org. I still can't believe that this site is three years old and a little bit. I honestly did not think that this site would last this long but I guess it did. I first came across this obsession when I was none other than bored. At first I just did the message board thing but then I wanted to make my own signature banners and avatars. Basically that's where my love started. Since then I've taken a few classes that are digitally based but none really that soley focus on Photoshop and web design. Hopefully that's something that will happen soon when I take more classes within my major.
