spring air

I love how beautiful the weather has been.  I can't wait for summer to be here.. 

This week has been a little crazy.  My car wants to die, but I won't let it. And work and school are still consuming my life.  The class I'm in right now has me completely uninterested and I wish I wasn't here.  I think we're having a critique on the assignment I never finished today, and I wasn't even here last week.  Only 3 more classes after this one.. 

My photo class has me stumped.  We need to do a final portfolio and I'm having trouble coming up with something.  20 unified images.. and I want to do really good.  I visited the city and Julie the bully on Sunday and made her walk around random streets to take some pictures as we rambled on and on and finally did some much needed catching up.  I want to do something more on the urban side, and with Julie's help.. I thought maybe something to do with graffiti and what not around, and then editing it to pull up the colors.  

I wish I actually had some pictures to post.. but none of interest.

ramblings

Just another quick update while I’m in class. We’re working on a hero worship paper/project. Just a short biography, that I pretty much just finished. Now I just have to adopt a style and take some pictures. I’m doing Marth Rosler, and a lot of hers have a urban theme. She takes on a lot of heavy political and social stuff, which is pretty cool. We just got our major assignment for the semester, and that’s what I’m more worried about now. Our final portfolio.. (ahhh!) we have to have a unified theme, something we care about. Almost anything. Broad topics to vague ones, doesn’t matter as long as its something we like. I think I’ll be making a trip into the city of b.love soon for both of these. I miss my girls.

Umm.. what else? work is good. I love my new responsibilities. I’m always busy which makes the day go by faster, and its stuff that’s actually somewhat entertaining, rather than mind-numbing. I work like 40 hours a week.. and I get paid more now so my checks make me smile (and tomorrow is pay day!!) Buttt.. I don’t see my friends except for Friday and Saturday nights. And having a boyfriend seems so silly since our schedules are so opposite, and we never see each other and barely have time to even talk. But classes are over in about a month and I can’t wait. I’ve been going to the gym every night this week, which is making me feel so much better. I can really feel a difference already.

This has been super rambly, and scatterbrained. Its beautiful outside today, and I’m so ready for the warm weather to stay forever. I never want to see winter again! I've been sleeping with the windows open and I love falling asleep with the smell of fresh spring air.
