An Interview with Iain McCaig

No Harold this Week or the Next

Sorry folks! I've been busting my butt, wrapping up Spring semester 2013 at Montclair State. I actually have a good GPA for once and I plan on keeping it! More posts to come by the end of these weeks. I promise. This Saturday I have a vocal recital, a band performance, and both my animations are screening at Arts Guild New Jersey. That's only Saturday! Sunday I work all day and then have to cram some more finals stuff in the evening.  I have Myth and literature on Tuesday then Illustration 3 and Maya II on Wednesday. So Its madness until Wednesday evening. Madness! New announcements and summer goals will be stated as soon as I can. Thank you for your patience.
