Well it has been more than a year since my last journal entry. I'm FINALLY starting to post some pics that I have taken in the last 2 or so years. I just have soooooo many folders full of pictures, it takes forever to go through them all and pick which ones I like. I'm getting to the point where I'm like, "Whatever! I'll post it anyways! Maybe someone will like it!" rather than starring at each individual picture and deciding if I like it enough. They're basically all flower shots --they're the perfect subject sitting still and pretty-- and portraits.

Life wise, I turn 21 in just a few days!! It's super exciting because I have yet to have even a single drop of alcohol. I know....a lot of people think that I'm totally lame because I waited until my 21st to drink but I don't care. I'm quite proud of myself. Not a lot of people can say that. I like being the "good girl" most of the time....but I've got too much of my mother's attitude and my father's sarcasm in me to be too goody goody. I'd like to consider myself a little freedom fighter and activist.

I'm officially a senior in college, yet have so much to still go before I graduate. I'm working on a Sociology degree along with a Soc Work minor and a BFA with a concentration in graphic arts. I'm hoping to head to graduate school and work on Social Work. Maybe I'll join up with Americorps or some program like that or look into art therapy. Who knows. I just know I really have a calling to help people. My heart especially aches for the homeless and poor. Ooo wait til I post my new printmaking projects! So much fun!

I have a nice little house directly next to the campus. I love it other than our new neighbors :/. They're quite the partiers. As I type, they are partying right outside my window screaming "FUCK YOU MAN" and "LETS SMOKE A BOWL" and don't forget "I JUST WANT TO GET LAID". ugh. This will be an interesting semester. It sounds like they are right inside my room. It doesn't help either that I don't have any curtins...unless you count the blankets that are draped over the window for some sense of privacy.

Well I think that's all that I have to report at the moment. Just anxiously awaiting Saturday and working on art projects. Hope all is well with everyone!

Much love and later days!

I wish you could hear the sound I'm making right now along w/ my hand motions. I'd try to spell out the sound but I don't think its possible. Why am I doing a little happy dance? Because I got a new camera for my birthday! Well....for my early birthday. My birthday isn't for another month.
I guess my dad got tired of me using his nice canon all the time so he got me one of my own!! It's an older canon rebel. The previous owner took excellent care of it. You'd never know it wasn't new. I also got a lense that can do long distance shooting or a lil bit of macro. Hopefully I can save up for a nicer macro lense since those are the pics I like to do most.

I have a crap load of pictures to post I've just been too lazy to do it. Most of them are just flower shots from last summer.

I'm so stoked to get some shots w/ the new camera.

Right now I'm stuck at work though and trying to recover from last night's rugby game. Coach put me in as FLANKER!!! I normally play wing or scrum-half. I had NO IDEA what I was doing haha. Oh well. I actually really liked the position and I got some massive hits right off the scrum. Amazing!


Later days!

I haven't posted anything in such a long time. One of these times that I'm procrastinating (much like I'm doing now) I'll have to upload some new stuff. I'm definitely maturing in my work. Now that I'm so bogged down w/ art classes, it's starting to mesh into every aspect of my life. I can't walk down the street anymore w/out thinking, Ohh man look at that shadow, I really dig that negative space. Or, wow look at that lighting on the tree and building over there. Do you see how the foot steps in the snow lead your eye up the hill and around the building? Isn't that cool?

I feel like such an art goon.

Some people on campus like to call my roommate and I "pretentious art fags" which I don't even really know what that means nor do I want to even try to figure it out.

After looking through my gallery I've realized, hmm ya know what... my art pretty much stinks. There really isn't any design behind any of it. I'm starting to think the whole graphic art thing..might not be my thing. IDK. I totally dig the graphics I'm just not creative enough to compete w/ the HIGHLY competitive world that is graphic arts. I just want to do it for me, not for other people. I don't want to have to deal w/ what clients want. I want what I want because I think it looks good.

Good thing I got the whole biology/ sociology thing to back me up though ha. I don't know what I'm going to use my BFA for. Maybe I'll one day design the advertisement for my soup kitchen that I'd like to one day run. THERE WE GO.

TWO journal entries in ONE day.
