Almost done!

After tomorrow, I will really be pushing to finish redo assignments and extra credit assignments because they are due next week. I still have a lot of pictures to take for projects, so I will be "busy" taking them......... last minute, of course. I'll get them done, and I could care less if my teachers don't like them. I have given my proposals for the projects in the way I want to go about them, and if they don't like the idea then they can take their own pictures. I photograph what I like and what makes me happy. I would like a break from taking pictures though. I think SF and AAU have somewhat ruined my excitement for photography. I understand why people in this city go crazy. Each step I take I hate it more... the city. I am tired of walking everywhere, I am tired of the stupid wind and the cold, I am tired of my living situation, I am tired of the smells, I am tired of the people and the drivers, I am tired of not being comfortable, and so on. Yeah, I get to come home for the summer and I am more than excited... but I'll have to come back to SF... for 5 more semesters, hopefully not more. Sometimes I wonder if I should just get another AA in Photography, and go to culinary school... or if I should just start going half-time and getting a job, or maybe just taking a semester off and getting a job. I've worked so hard to get here and I really want my BFA, but I am tired. I have been in college for 4 years now, and my reward is debt. Well, I should stop writing now. I guess it's all the same, everything I write.

3 weeks!!!

There is only 3 weeks left until this semester is over for me!!! 4 weeks until I come home!!! Ohhhhh boy! I am sooooooooooooooooooooo excited! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!!

It's Monday!

My roommates are out at class or work, or whatever... but they are out. It's so much nicer and I am in a much better mood now that I am alone in my room. I haven't been so excited for a Monday to come. Now I just want the next 3 come and go by very quickly. I feel like I can breathe now that they are gone, it's so nice. Just a little over 20 days! I have to hold myself back about my excitement though, I don't want it to seem to go by slower. I don't want to be tortured anymore.

Dusk Photography

I like taking pictures around dusk. The colors are so beautiful. Unfortunately tonight things didn't go so well. I left a little early, but not as early as I originally was going to leave. I think I was just anxious to get out of my room. Anyway, I walked to the pier and sat there, and sat there more, and even more. I got there 2 hours too early. I was sooo cold. My nose was runny, I had on 2 beanies and 2 sweatshirts. By the time it got to picture taking, my camera was too cold to work properly. So I go a few pictures, but I am going to have to go back when it's a little bit warmer... if that'll ever happen.

The Sutro Baths

These are some pictures of my field trip to the Sutro Baths in SF for my color photography class.

Counting down the days...

Well, there are less than 50 left in this semester... but more than 40. I am counting down, I just don't remember the exact number off of the top of my head. I know it's getting sooner too because of all of the proposals I have to turn in for my final projects. I am actually not really looking forward to them... but I definitely can't avoid them since they are a big part of my grade. Classes are still better than last semester, the pace is picking up though. My roommates are worse, the smells of the city are the same, the shuttles I only use once week, I don't know what else to write. I am getting out of the city this weekend to spend time with Ryan at his sister's. We're going to get sweaty... by riding bikes, hiking? I don't know. Well, we'll get sweaty by working out, I know that. He is going to get ahead on his homework so he can spend more time with me and so we can get out of the house. It'll be a nice weekend with him and the weather will be nice.
