remember that one time when we did that one thing?!

so i was reading my friends blog and i realized i haven't said anything for awhile. i guess nothing much as happened. fall break was last weekend and it was fun. i took my little brother out to lunch on friday [he got to skip the whole day] and then we went to the sculpture garden to take his senior pictures. then we went to minnehaha falls for senior pictures as well. who knows. it was all fun. and then sunday we have a family grill out ... which was good. i had a few sips of a beer and i wasn't a fan of it so i gave it to my cousin. haha. anywho, we did family pictures because my grandma wants a picture of her grandchildren. why after eleven years but who knows. so i took them. i set it up and had my mom push the shutter. however, my cousins are lame. they ruined every picture that was taken. they wouldn't just look at the camera, no they decided to make bunny ears and they decided to look the other direction. WHY can't they just do something nice for once. what makes me annoyed/mad is that after the pictures my cousin was like "i want these on facebook right away." um..well no. i can't because i have to edit them and make them look nice! ugh. i swear something i hate being a photography major haha.

--------------------

ha so my twin just came up for the weekend. can you say BEST WEEKEND EVER?! i haven't seen her since may 12th? yes? no wait ... she came to valleyfair with friends a few days after that so it must of been about a week before i was done full time. but still! its been so long since i have seen her and i was super happy she came up to visit. we went out to the bar and had birthday shots! haha. we couldn't celebrate our birthdays together because she's older then me by 23 days. haha. it was so fun though! we walked to fargo and sat at the bar. we were laughing so much it was funny and then we got a guy to buy us a drink! WOOT!! haha. we are such dorks.

truthfully? i haven't had that much fun in the longest time. all weekend was filled with laughs. the month of october is going to be great. every weekend i have something to do. i am only going to be on campus for two weekends! but halloween weekend i am skipping my advising photography retreat to do the murder mystery dinner with lcm. why? well lately i haven't been wanting to do anything in my major lately. which is probably a bad thing. but its halloween weekend a ton of people have stuff they want to do. like, the dinner, and its halloween so there are parties that people go to and everything. i mean, it would be awesome to go on the retreat but at the same time, since i haven't been 100% into photography lately i dont see why i should go? i dont think it would help me figure out whats wrong with me. who knows. i dont know what is going on this semester. but yeah.

--------------------

have you ever had a friend who stopped talking to you for half a year and then bam, you text them because god knows why and then they start talking to you again? yeah. i dont get it either. who knows. guess we'll have to wait and see how that story goes right now.

anywho, since i'm in photography i best get working on photography and not chilling on facebook or writing my blog. haha

later!

I wish I could Bubble Wrap my heart

guess what! i'm 21. yup i turned 21 almost a week ago. fun thing about being 21. no one can judge me on underage drinking. hell ya! a lot has happened since my last blog. i am pretty sure my last blog as after i stopped working at valleyfair? i think it was. i'm not completely sure. its been a while, so forgive me if i am wrong.

so its been about 3 weeks since i last worked. and to tell you the truth. i wish i was still working at home. why? because lately its been stressful with school and roommate stuff and friends at school. yup. being at valleyfair was less stressful and it was fun. i got to hang out with all my friends from work. and see the people that made my day ten times better everyday at work. mostly ... a couple people towards the end of the season. since my twin ended up quitting which sucked because i had to suffer the last two weeks i worked without her. anywho, but yeah school this year. what a joke.

-----------------------------------

school...its week number 7 now? and i am already needing a vacation. i dont think people realize how stressful it is to be a photographer. i mean, i just spent an arm, a leg and half of a foot to buy supplies that is much needed for my major. a new laptop and a new camera. two new cameras. dont get me wrong i am loving my new laptop and my cameras. its just ... being a photographer is hard. you have to think of so many concepts and figure out what and why you want this to be something.

the first couple photo shoots were ... meh. but those were with traditional black/white film. i am tired of traditional film. seriously a year in a half of it sucks. so now we are working with digital. i like it a lot more. so my frist digital photo shoot went well. i liked the print i had for it. and then i had another one ... failed at that. and so the one i am working on now. yeah can you say stressful? it is stupid how i try and set up a photo shoot and it fails every time. i am starting to think that being a photographer is a bad idea.

monday after my birthday was the worst day ever. i'm serious. i started thinking of quitting my major or just taking a year off of it. i can't just take a semester off because being an art major if you take a semester off...you have to take a year off. just the way the classes go. and i have also been thinking of transferring schools. O.o yeah ... i said it. transferring schools. it just seems like Moorhead is sort of dying. or maybe it is because of all the stupid crap that has been going on. i havent talked to my parents about it yet. but at the same time. i dont want to transfer but who knows. maybe its time for something different. i just need a little time away from everything on campus i think. it just seems like i am doing something wrong all the time.

for example. i was setting up a trip down to the cities to go to valleyscare. or well, i was going with my brother and i was setting up a trip for a bunch of people. it was going all smoothly and then it failed. yup i failed. shocking right? seems to be like i've been failing a lot this year. i just feel like no one was listening to me and i had it all figured out but nope, no one listened to i cancelled it. ha.

-----------------------------------

well...i am just going to get going. not much to write about. since i know how people feel about those complaining about things in blogs. haha. later blog
