Stupid SG.
My only solace to this day is the hot green tea I'm drinking. Lol
The long entry that was so ignorantly eaten was so awesome, but now I don't feel like typing all that out again. So basics are all you're going to get.
School starts September 4th.
I'm anxious. VERY anxious. I hate failure, and because I've hyped this all up in my head so much, I feel like I'm going to fail. I loathe that feeling. The inevitable demise of my school career, that is so graphically played out in my head, makes it hard to concentrate on the positives. I am not a pessimist, for the most part I maintain a very altruistic attitude, and my optimism is not present at this point in time.
Why I chose digital photography? In a time when anyone can be good with a camera and Photoshop, why would I go as far as to make it a career choice? Simply put, it's something I love. For the last few years, I thought I was going to go to cosmetology school, because it was something I knew I was good at, and could succeed in, [and I know I am the same way with photography] but I felt that I was ultimately paying to go work at Super Cuts or Hair Cuttery. And this is not a knock at those that do work there, I know many of you have aspirations to move onto bigger and better things, but I don't like feeling unsuccessful, and because of the way things have panned out for me, I wasn't willing to take the risk that I would be stuck at a job I hate for a long period of time. I know that I won't be making millions of dollars taking pictures, but my options are much more open because I will be working for myself. I can keep my current 9-5, or leave and work with a photographer as an assistant. All the while taking whatever pictures I want to. I would love to work solely with the entertainment industry, and am currently working on a position with a venue [I just need equipment to show them what I'm made of] and I will be freelancing a lot too, all while in school, so I can make this investment worth while all while in school. That's awesome. All that I do will benefit a portfolio and schoolwork, a total plus.
My degree is a short one, Associates of Applied Science. It is not an art degree, which is fine, because of the way the bachelor's is set up, makes it harder to use your own creativity, and I hate boundaries. Plus, I plan on getting a bachelor's in something else other than photography, to make my education much more worldly. I have an idea of what school I want to attend for it, too. But I am just starting this school thing back up, so I don't want to reach too far too soon.
So far, my aspirations are high, and I have the backing of a great dad, and great friends to help make it all a bit easier to take in.
In the land of Lynn, not much else is going on. Still dealing with some drama with the boy, which will never change, and I've come to terms with that. I have learned not to expect anything more than what I am getting, and as long as it remains that way, things are fine.
I replaced the radio in my car, a birthday gift to myself, but my glasses are going to cost me over $500 and I obviously don't have the money for that. Donations are appreciated! Haha, kidding! Unless you really want to :oP Soon enough I will replace them, then all will be good.
Yeah, so I think that's it.
Loves you all keep in touch, and if you are reading this and you aren't my friend, add me & introduce yourself!

Glad things are a little better for you, even though you can't replace your glasses yet
Things are much better for me, thanks for the comments. The drama has subsisted and all is well! Sorry you have drama with "the boy", though
