So last night was definitely a good time! I dressed up as a fairy and Eric went as an insane asylum/Hannibal type person. I must say, it worked out pretty well, especially for getting our costumes together only a couple days in advance. I love Halloween, its always so fun to see everyone all dressed up. Eric and I won at beer pong a bunch of times so that was cool. Kate says we are hustlers, cuz we look all quiet and whatnot and then we go out and kick some ass  

I did my best to not drink too much because I had so much to do today, well that didnt work out so well. I didnt get totally trashed or anything, but I definitely woke up with a hangover. NO FUN. And I did nothing but sit on my couch all day, minus the 10 minutes it took to go help Laurel out with a shot. So I'm a lazy beotch. It was ugly out today anyway, I'll have to try to finish it all up tomorrow during open studio.

It sucks I have to be up super early tomorrow so that I can return the equipment I took out for the weekend. I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty sleepless week overall. After next Tuesday things should calm down a bit around here. Still have lots of assignments but I don't think it'll be as bad. Who thought taking ten pictures would be so tough?

I should be gettin the durango back shortly. I can't wait. This stupid suzuki thing is bothering me. Every single time I get out of it I get zapped so hard. And I cant be sneaky and shut it with my foot because it'll either go through my foot or I'll get zapped on the next metal thing I touch, which is somewhat embarassing when I scream out as I walk into a store or whatever  

Well I have to go get my shit together so tomorrow won't be a bad day. I have just one more thing to say, GO BILLS!!!

I'm running around with less than a dollar in change

Well I tried to write in this thing yesterday but it was all screwed up again. So I'm gonna write now because later I won't be able to do it. Yesterday was alright same old same old more or less. It's kind of sad that I can't remember things I did the day before. Last night we went ice skating so that was cool, and it was JOELS BIRTHDAY!!! Happy bday big guy! Now he's old enough to take to Canada. Although now that we are all 21 its like why bother going to Canada. But I still like to go, its fun stuff. I learned how to go in circles on skates last night, that was wicked fun. I got so freakin dizzy and fell on my ass and couldnt get up! Then my head didnt stop spinning for a couple more times around the rink So the only thing that blew ass about yesterday was that we can't find a place that will cash a damn check and that all I have for spending money is that check. So if I cant cash it I cant do anything, and I need money for so many reasons. We found one place that would do it and they would take 15 bucks out of the check to do it! Thats freakin insane! So I'm running around with less than a dollar in change and I can't do anything. And I want Dunkin Donuts soooo bad.

So today started out alright, I headed down to Northampton and got some pics of some skydivers with Kate, Laurel, and Tia. That was fun. I almost want to do it, but I'm not that crazy. Then we drove around the town for a while and couldnt find a parking spot ANYWHERE so Eric and I went home. Then just a little bit ago, I went to Applebees to help Matt, and that was a bust. He didnt have his shit together and I guess I was confused about what the hell he was supposed to be doing. Anyway we didnt end up shooting. So now I have to get going, I have to find an ATM I guess and find some pants for Eric, go to the pharmacy and get our asses ready for the halloween party tonite. So, Catch Ya Later--

Not that they suck, they are just a little frumpy

Oh man am I beat. Seems like this week has really done a number on me. Good thing its almost the weekend and I get to sleep in an extra hour tomorrow. I have a headache so this is definitely gonna be short tonight. I suppose thats alright though because I don't have a whole lot to talk about. I didn't do much of anything today. The highlight would have to be going to the mall, and that wasn't really very exciting since Eric is sick and I am so tired. Luckily we picked out some costumes for the party this weekend. I didnt even know there was one until today, so that sucks or we could have probably had better costumes. Not that they suck, they are just a little frumpy. Packaged deal costumes always seem to look cheap. But at least we have something and can go. I think Eric's is really cool and mine is kinda fun. So Saturday is going to be a busy ass day for once. Hopefully I'll get a lot of my final project done this weekend, too. I can hope anyways...hmm I just got an idea! Now I gotta write it down before I forget.

I really need to clean up the apartment. It's not really too messy and it'll take five minutes to pick up, I just need to dedicate those five minutes of my life to getting it done. The time has come for me to say good night. I'm not gonna fight it this time, otherwise I'm going to end up sick pretty soon. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. Classes 9-5. It'll be the first day of almost all classes in a little while. Sall good though. Alright, I'm outta here! G'nite

We stopped by the Salvation Army and lo and behold, Wednesday's are fifty percent off day for students

***Due to a malfunction this is being posted today because it wouldn't work last night. Look forward to another blog later tonite.... if it works ***

 

Wow, today was so long. For some reason eight hours wasn't long enough for me to sleep and wake up happy. So I woke up tired and my legs were killing me from all the "hiking" I did yesterday. So we had all morning to run around and get some of our shots done for the final assignment. That was fun, we went to Kates to grab some shot glasses for a shot I was making and hit the liquor store up for a bottle of Southern Comfort and headed to Applebee's to use their bar to take a shot. Good deal. Its real nice that Kate'll talk for me. I'm such a big loser and need to learn to deal with people. I think after a few more months of this I should be alright. So then we stopped by the Salvation Army and lo and behold, Wednesday's are fifty percent off day for students there! So we pick up a 10 dollar wedding dress and Eric and go to a crapped out factory to do some shooting. Funny, I always thought my mom would be there when I wore a wedding gown.   So I'm excited to see how those came out. I really hope I didnt screw up my bar shots. So the afternoon session was all darkroom time and I was wicked close to not finishing in time, we're talking down to the last few minutes. Man is that irritating.

So after a long ass day I think I should have come home, relaxed, had a boring evening...Instead I decided to work on bills. Thats never a fun task. Well I dont mind doing it, its just that its sad to plan out how I'm giving my money away. Oh well, its life. I just need to quit spending money. But thats not fun. Theres so much stuff I still wanna get. Like the new Sony DVD camera thing. How awesome does that look. I want it so bad. That and some lenses for my Mamiya. Thats all I want for Christmas...too bad it all costs so damn much. Someday I'll get it.

I'm so excited I don't have class til 3 tomorrow. I still have stuff I have to get accomplished but I don't really have to be there til three. So I'm gonna sleep in, thats for damn sure   I hope Eric finds a job soon. The poor kid is bored outta his mind. Not to mention cashflow is TIGHT. But I know it'll all work out in the end. It has to. You know it will too, Eric. Love you, darlin 

I going to go check on the Durango tomorrow. I hope that its almost done, I miss it so much, and its sposta SNOW here tomorrow. It's insane, its only October  At least the winters won't be as bad out here as they are back home. Thats one positive but its not good enough I need to move a little bit south I think. That would be nice. Not too far, I don't want to die of heat in the summer. Moderate summer, moderate winter would be fine. Man I'm rambling I'm soooo tired. And I forgot to eat dinner, I think I'm gonna grab something and hit the sack. Good night everyone

I need a kick in the ass to get me going I think

Ahh, the day is almost over, time to post in my blog. I feel like typing in pink today so here I am. I'm so freakin tired, Jagger has completely screwed up my sleeping for the past few nights. If having a new kitten is this tough I can't even IMAGINE having a kid So today wasn't so bad. And last night I talked to Jen for a bit, so that was really nice! I had my least favorite class today for the first two hours ( retouching ) so that wasn't very exciting, but the rest of the day was pretty much a "do what you like" day and tomorrow is basically the same, so thats nice. Today I got one of my shots done for my final project. And when I got home from that I worked in my sketchbook and came up with ideas for just about every other one of my assignments for the final project. Boo yah! Feels good to at least have an idea of what I'm gonna do. Now I just hope they work out.

You know how there are those people that are completely annoying, its not their fault, they just come off that way? Well I'm so paranoid that I'm one of those people. God I hope not, but who knows. If I was, theres not many people who would have the balls to tell me the truth anyway. I know I wouldn't be too good at telling someone that they were that type of person. I think I'm just insecure here because there are 160 other people here for photography and I just don't feel that I'm up to par with many of them. I've never taken a class before so I don't have much confidence in myself. I need a kick in the ass to get me going I think.

Now besides skydiving on Saturday I'm going to help Matt do some work for Applebee's so thats cool. Way to go Matt Not that I'll be doing anything good, just keeping him sane and help him out with shit. Sall good though.

Now that I've started doing this blog thing it makes me curious what everyone else is up to. Stace, Beth, Joel, I miss you guys. We need to talk! I suppose I'll see you all around Thanksgiving. Its been way too long. And Stace is almost TWENTY-ONE!!! My baby's growing up so fast Haha, you know I'm picking. Can't wait to see everyone at the tavern when we all get back!

Why is it that every time I move my desk chair SQUEAKS??? Whats up with that? I never thought I'd have to oil a chair...Anyways, catch ya later!

We're livin on tv dinners, mac and cheese and cereal...

So today was both good and bad...it all seemed fine until I realized around 1230 that one of my assignments wasn't due at 515 like I thought it was but rather it was due at 745 earlier this morning. It's irritating, everythings gotta be due at different times, even though I can't remember the last time one was due in the morning  So anyway it was actually TWO assignments due at the same time, so thats two zeros...wonderful. In the scheme of things, 2 assignments isn't much but I"m just pissed cuz I had it all put together and ready, I just figured I would hand it in at lunch. I wish I hadn't done it because then I wouldn't feel so crappy about it. I'm starting to feel like I'm becoming one of the "stupid" kids in the class. There's a couple and they just don't get it or something. So now I feel like a slather ass and like I'm one of them, but I KNOW I'M NOT.  

Other than that it was a pretty decent day. Had film lab this morning and I didnt screw up at all!! heheh I think there is something wrong with my reel, but maybe not since I got it right today. So that went well and I got out at 930 so I came home and slept for 2 hours, that was great. Then I had digital lab and that wasn't so bad. It's always a little boring but I got good compliments from the teachers today, and thats always nice   Then after school I hung out with Shenna and Sarah for a while, that was nice because I haven't ever gotten to hang out with them outside of class, and I got to vent a bit, which was nice, too.   I'm not a real big fan of the "silly face" guy...his tongues a lil weird, looks like he's eating a popsicle.

Libby keeps trying to eat Jagger. Definitely not a good thing. She's such an ass though. But I feel bad for her. Eric's right, she is like the jealous 5 year old with a new baby coming into the family. I can't wait til I don't have to worry about her biting on him. She'll regret it when he gets all big and beats the crap out of her!  

I just glanced down and saw the pic of my truck  It's been a little over 2 weeks and its still not all fixed up. The guy at Enterprise told me that the garage fixing it up is a chop shop. Good to know NOW, right? So my parents are gonna come out and check it out when its done ( hopefully this weekend ). That'll be nice because maybe we'll finally have some groceries up in this place! We're livin on tv dinners, mac and cheese and cereal.

So this weekend I'm going to go watch some skydivers and take some pics. My friend Kate says she's jumping on Saturday, she's obviously gone mad. I think it would be fun, but I will never do it. I *might* bungee jump but I will never jump unattached to something stable. I guess I'm a pretty big chicken. I'm diggin life though. Maybe if I was all down and depressed I might think about doing something like that, but as of now, no thank you! Well I'm off to get stuff together for tomorrow, hang out with Eric and the "kids" and hit the hay. This gettin up at 630 stuff isn't too hard, its going to bed early thats the hard part--

I made it to my second post...amazing. If only things can continue to go this way.

Well, Libby is warming up to Jagger pretty well and she's even letting us pet her from time to time. I'm afraid she's gonna eat him alive though, he's so tiny! Last night we had Jag sleep with us and locked Libby out. It was a good idea but I didn't really get a very great night of sleeping in. But I'm pretty sure Eric did!  Heheh. So hopefully tonight goes better seeing how I have to get up at 630.

I really need to get my butt in gear and start my final assignment. I haven't even brought the assignment sheet in from the car yet. But I have been thinking about it at least. Speaking of car, for those of you who don't know yet, I've got a rental car. It's some suzuki thing, I didn't even know they made CARS, I thought it was all four-wheelers and bikes and stuff. So, I have this rental because, sadly, I crashed up the Durango.  It was wet, I fishtailed, basically-end of story. And yet there's so much more to it than that. Damn that sucked. I think I'll post a shot of it. I really need to learn how to do the photo stuff better on here!

I definitely won't be getting much done today because it's sports day in this apartment. We've gotta watch all the games and the race. Sundays are very unproductive for me, but at least I enjoy them! Dale Jr is starting in 3rd today, I hope he finishes at least as good. He needs to win the championship, although I don't think it's gonna happen this year for him. The Bills are playin the Redskins, I really hope the Bills come up with a win. Now that I'm out in Mass, I don't get to watch the Bills games often, except of course when they whooped on the Pats. That was great And then they sucked... But I hope the Patriots beat Miami, because I just don't like them at all. This is only my second year of really being a football fan, I used to think it was dumb but now I see the athleticism it takes to kick ass on the field and I appreciate that.

After typing this much I should probably publish since my computer keeps randomly SHUTTING DOWN and its really getting on my nerves... Thanks for wasting your time on me and catch ya later.

So far the workload isn't kicking my ass, thank god

Well Hello, and welcome to my first post. I'm not really too great at keeping up with these things but I thought I might give it another try.

Here I am in Massachusetts. Its already been just about TWO MONTHS. Time is flying, things are great, I'm lovin it . I definitely miss the Clymer Crew but I'm sure everyone is having a great time wherever they are right now. I've met some cool people out here. And of course there are the other people, but I won't go there. So far the workload isn't kicking my ass, thank god. I'm definitely scared of whats to come though, its going to be nuts!

I'm at the end of my first phase and they just gave us our final assignment. Shouldn't be too crazy or anything, just need to get my creative juices flowin...I really don't like the sound of that phrase at all. Anyway, theres a lot to talk about but I might as well try to save it for another day, in case I actually do more of these bad boys. So I will just tell ya bout what happened today...

I'm a mama again , Eric and I went to the pet store and picked up a new "son". We named him Jagger he's the cutest li'l shit! So now Libby is being SUCH a bitch! Ahh well she'll get over it I hope. I've never been hissed at so much in my life. I don't know if I can add pics on here or not, if I can I will def add one of Jag. Well I'm gonna end this thing a li'l short for now. Thanks for wasting your time on me and catch ya later.
