I think a year ago it was Erin Graham who posted something to the effect of "Sophomores in college...how old are we?"
Yea. So I have completed my second year of college. Let me restate that-- I am no longer in my second year. This semester was just short of a total failure, and certainly nowhere near complete. I just stopped doing basically all work altogether. I even had people checking on how my work was doing--friends who care--often to whom I would have to lie and say progress was being made. Well, it wasn't.
In denying how bad I was doing, I still don't really know. I'm not going to let it drag me down right now; I have a crazy summer coming up and I need the break. School will be there when I get back, no different from now, so I will deal with it then. I just need to identify and acknowledge my limits.
It's very possible that by the end of my fourth year I will have 34 journalism credits. I am not a journalism major. Hmm.
I bought a new camera last month. Should I have? Probably not. But I really like it. (see
Guster concert pictures, previous entry) I did my sister's senior portraits this week and I'm pretty happy with the results.
I sorta wish I was around more to do more portraits. I found a good lab to do my printing and I think there's a market for alternatives to the ridiculous prices that studios charge.
That said, if anyone wants sibling portraits for Mother's Day...I'm here and I'd be more than happy to do something like that all professional-like for little more than the cost of the prints.
...it would be nice if the weather cooperated.
So I'm leaving Tuesday for Europe. Two weeks in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland. Then I'm splitting off from the group for two more weeks in Croatia with my friend Sid from camp. I'm really super excited. I've never left the country, so this is going to be a real adventure with everything brand-new for me.
Kastav, the Adriatic coastal town where I'll be staying!
And apparently Catie Markesich will be in Croatia also!? Hopefully I can catch up with her. That would be neat.
So then once I get back on the 15th of June I'll basically have 2 days to recover and get ready for camp...the whole summer this time. How bad is it that I know my summer is exactly 15 weeks long because EVERY one of them is being used? Well either way, that's how it is. It's a good thing for me though, really. It means that I won't be able to take on any extra projects or anything that can drag me down.
Please help control the unwanted pet population and remember to spay or neuter your pets. Ok clearly I have exhausted my thought processes for the day. Goodnight.
