So I went on a college visit today, kinda get the feel for the school. It's definately different from what I'm accustomed to, and I think that's a good thing. I'm not really thrilled with all the religious symbols floating about, but I can pretty well ignore them I think.

Has anyone ever walked into an art studio? There's no better smell. My grandmother had...

Whoo-hoo! I've got the first full weekend in years that I've had off! I leave Friday for a camping trip in Hocking Hills and I'll be coming back (hopefully) rested on Sunday afternoon! Getting a day off for me is a huge deal. I never call off work, mainly because in most situations I can't. everything has to be very tightly scheduled or I end...

Enough of the goddamn infomercials!

Okay, so I work Saturday afternoons in an insurance agency we have a television to keep the people entertained while they're waiting. Okay, except two things.

I'm not sure if I'm overworked or underworked right now. Between my school and work schedule I'm obviously scheduled to be somewhere at all times, but I dont feel I'm getting too much accomplished. I need to get my porfolio ready for final review, but I still think I need to shoot more for it!

I've been off a few days trying to get work done, and generally in a bad mood, I have models that won't show up for shoots, I feel like I'm weeks behind in my portfolio and to top it all off, I hit sort of a depressive state.
