Me and my LOVE for graphic design!

I know everyone is going to say this is NOT INTERESTING. I thought I would share my love about graphic design and what it has done to me. Well, long story short I cut my finger with an exactoknife preparing some design pieces I created to turn in for the ART GALLERY at Parkland. As I was on the ground cutting the foam board I just kept on going along with my finger. I didn't feel at first but then I saw a look blood (thank god it didn't get on my work) and I rushed to the hospital. I cut so deep that I went through my nail around my finger and got 6 stitches without of course stitching my nail. If you woundering if I cried because I am smiling in the picture that was before 3 doctors holding me down while they are stitching my finger up. PS I couldnt do anything for a week.
