Career Fair

With graduation just around the corner I knew going to the Career Fair was a must. (Even when one still feels yucky from a cold) So last night I vamped up my resume and got myself prepared to find some good prospects for after I graduate. It really is coming soon!

Cold Season

I went into the clinic yesterday before meeting my classmate Megan in the studio because my ears have been bugging me. No ear infection just the beginnings of a cold. By Tuesday afternoon I had a fever and quite the headache. The doc on campus told me to take Tylenol to help with my ear pain. Because of me being on Zoloft and Triamterene I'm not allowed to take Ibuprofen. So I took it up a notch and got cold strength. As most college students know you can't afford to miss classes. So I'd just dose myself up and go to class. Too much to do this week to miss classes due to a cold! Hopefully it goes away soon!

Week Three

Iced over streets after our ice storm!

This week has been crazy! Monday was MLK day so I spent it with Sissy and the kiddos. Tuesday I worked on homework and took a spin class with Paigy. Wednesday was just long. I was suppose to meet for an interview on graduation but they rescheduled on me when I was halfway to campus. I had to meet with my non-fiction staff so I had less then a day to read all the submissions. I brought my camera to work on assignments in the lab only to find out it was a demo day. By the time I walked into my meeting with my staff I was feeling a bit frazzled and frustrated.
We were able to finish our meeting at 5:40 pm and Josh and I walked slowly home from the icy campus. We truly could of ice skated on the sidewalks! It was nice to sit down and relax after my long day. My roomies both have a night class on Wednesdays so I came home to an empty apartment. Paigy and I have been trying to go to the gym five days a week but it can be difficult when its nasty out and bitter cold.
Thursday I spent the day working on my portfolio pieces. We had freezing rain which turned the roads into sold ice. Going to school this morning was a doozy.

It was nice to spend time with Sissy and the kiddos this week! I love getting snuggles from all of them. It's always hard to leave especially knowing how crazy their little lives have been. It makes me so happy to open my phone to these adorable pictures!

Nine Months Baby!

I can't believe this little cutie will be one in 3 months! Charlie we love you!

Week Two

So its been a busy second week. We had a long weekend due to the snow day on last Friday. Which made this week feel extra long. My classes are going well. I have my long days on Mondays and Wednesday. I've been studying hard for my Spanish class and hope things are sticking. My other classes keep me pretty busy. We have been working hard in Studio Lighting and today Megan and I did some shots in her basement in order to get a feel for the lights. I'm glad we tag teamed because I still feel anxious about using the lights alone.
  I also got my graduation application in as well as my major signed off.  I just need to okay my minor and I'll be that much closer to having my bachelors! I can't believe how fast those three years went by. The weather has been super icky and cold. I made the mistake of leaving my warmest coat at my parents during the long holiday break. I've felt like Randy from a Christmas Story the last two weeks as I've walked to school. Well I'm on the front runner and I gotta watch for my stop.

Pensive and Strong! 

Nervous...

Portraiture in Studio Lighting. Every photographers nightmare. You mean you want to take MY picture? Our professor said to pick a pose or word that defined who we were. Pensive. Being a writer I'm constantly zoning out into my own little world. Pensive would be my word. Standing under lights trying to find the best pensive look isn't exactly a fun thing to do. (those lights are extremely hot!) I think I found the one though...

Pensive

 That would be me in a nutshell! This class is only on week two and already making my classmates and I pull our hair out. I love a challenge and this class is definitely going to do that!
