| school, life, and the suchNot too much has been going on with me other than the fact that I slacked a little too much at the begining of the quarter so now it's time to whip my butt in shape. Labor Day weekend is coming soon and I'm totally pumped. Going a whole quarter without some sort of break is really hard so I'm glad to be venturing to KC for that weekend. Plus, I might be able to work on my portfolio a bit and maybe some of my final project for materials and processes.
I think last week was what I needed to realize that good grades aren't going to come with sloppy work. I'm gonna reshoot some assignments in hopes of better grades and work my butt off the rest of the quarter. Too much partying... not even involving drinking but just not doing what I'm here to do.
Next quarter will be hard. I'm looking forward to it though. I think a hard quarter will be good for me. Get me back into shape. Plus I'm loving that I am getting to shoot other things than just school assignments too. I'm taking senior pics for a girl from church this Friday so that should be fun, and I'm thinking about putting up a thing on Craig's list asking for headshots and offering a CD and some prints for free modeling... just so I can get more practice. A girl from some of my classes did that and she got like 30 emails by the end of the week! I also did an ad for my chiropractor and in return got adjusted for free. I'm enjoying the free aspects of doing some of these assignments. Plus, there is a good chance that once January or February comes around that I might have a gig being the photographer for the Colorado Crossover (that's the minor league basketball team). What would be cool about that is that I'll get into all the games for free and get press passes. I'm also taking pics for church and for this band called About John. The band has a huge show next Sunday and they want me to take pics for them. I'm so excited. Everything is seeming to fall back into place.
Sometimes I wonder if I should've taken the quarter off and then I look at what has been thrown at me and I'm so stoked that I stayed... there might even be a possiblity that I might stay longer... I'm looking into another program... once I decide I'll let you all know. Don't get me wrong, I'm finishing my associates in Photo, I just have another option in mind for when this is all said and done with... |

| i'm done
Current mood:  frustrated
I
just don't know if I can handle it anymore. Too much pressure. I wish I
could have an indisposable income but unfortunately... the cookie
didn't crumble that way for me. I wish it could've but... I'm a poor
college kid too. I wish school wasn't so expensive and I wish my
equipment wasn't expensive either... I CAN'T HELP IT!
Another
thing... I wish I was done, I wish I could move away, sometimes I wish
I could start my life over again. I think this is one of the reasons
why I am so glad that my profession is going to be photography...
traveling and such, or... it's easy to relocate. Whenever, wherever I
want.
Why can't life be easier? I can't wait to go home...

| hello hello helloso, i know i'm like NEVER on this thing anymore but here's a new post...
Life is HECTIC! i'm at work right now and it's pretty boring actually. it's 11:55AM the saturday before school starts again. you'd think it would be a little busier but nope. it's just me chillin in the lounge. mike was down here for a bit but who knows where he ran off too. lol...
i can't wait for school to start again. then again, i'm dropping a class i do believe. i think 5 shooting classes is going to kill me plus, a lot of the upper quarter kids are telling me NOT to take the 7th quarter class without at least taking this quarter. plus, if i stay in all 5 classes then i'll only have 11 left to go. that's still 3 more quaters 2 of 4 and one of 3. if i drop it, then i'll just have 3 quarters left of 4 classes... sounds good to me. or maybe i'll take 5 next quarter. all i know is that there is no way i'm gonna graduate in march as much as i would love to. i'd have to kill myself to do that. june sounds just fine to me.
to all of you who know about my foot, it's doing much better.
to those who don't know... i broke a couple blood vessels and bruised my bone pretty badly but, like i just said, it's doing much better. i can walk without my crutches now! yay!
well, i should probably try and do something productive today... hmmm...
