This post is for Christine. I know I haven't updated much in the past year, but I just haven't been in the mood to write about things as much. Usually I use writing as a form of therapy - to spill my thoughts when my world isn't going so smoothly. So I guess my lack of writing could be evidence that I've been relatively happy ( Read more... )

Hello again.

It always seems that I post to this journal when I have a bazillion other things to do. Like this weekend for instance. To keep my head straight, here's my list:

• clean fishtank
• sweep floor/clean room
• laundry
• finish reading photo essay
• write photo reflection paper

I've been bad about updating this thing. So to all you wondering, yes, I'm still alive. I bought a new fish. He is a a bright red betta and I named him Inti after the Incan sun god. I am still keeping in line with my Beatles theme because sun god is like the song "sun king" and therefore Inti can still live in the Octopus' Garden (my aquarium ( Read more... )

My heater is making that blasted noise again... of course it comes back now with finals approaching. And I actually have two exams that I am going to have to study for like crazy. Today was a productive, but long day. I spent a lot of time in the darkroom working on that Warhol project. I got an awesome combination of color with my last attempt ( Read more... )

So the end of the semester is wrapping up more quickly than I would like. Work is beginning to pile up, but so far it doesn't seem unmanageable. At this time of the year it's the photography that I begin to worry about more than anything else.

Here is the updated list of the things I have left to finish:

• english paper #3
• women/gender art paper

Well, today has once again been less successful than I had hoped. I did manage to re-write my photo essay for the required length, but I still need to add a conclusion of sorts. The aim of the paper is to get you to think critically about your photographs and what you are communicating with them... Yet, even after writing about it for several ( Read more... )

I know maybe I've been more upset about the distance thing than usual this semester. I still don't know exactly why that is. I have a feeling that it is partly due to seeing Ashley and Garrett together everyday. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that they get to be with each other that often. Sometimes it just serves as a reminder of the ( Read more... )

RIP Maxwell (Maxwell is my fish)

Well I have an outline completed.. That's better than nothing I guess. I haven't worked on it at all in the past two hours, which is my own fault - I'm excellent at distracting myself. I just can't bear to start reading all these academic journal things again. My eyes hurt! lol I told Bruce I'd be up until midnight, so I guess I'll stay up til ( Read more... )

Thoreau's Walden does not relate directly to the current issue of globalization in regard to Latin American states! It certainly does not relate enough to substantiate a 6-7 page paper! ARGH! What a stupid paper topic! I hate this class!!!
