Well now that it is safe to say it's officially summer, I think I can conclude that summer is good. This is the time of year where I will only hang out with the people I like. After this past year I have realized what I like and do not like in regard to friendships.

1. I hate groups/family types of friends. The kind of friends who all call eachother ( Read more... )

I haven't written since last semester. I don't know if I like it but maybe I'll edit it later.

We write, perform, paint, sing out
And raise our black nail-polished fists in rage.

We gather in cleverly named coffee houses ,

Trading stories and words of advice.

But who will be there,

When I’m walking home alone,

Clinging to the orange streetlight for ( Read more... )

So I saw Maya Angelou speak tonight. I was one of the lucky people who got there an hour before doors and a seat in maybe the first third of the ballrooms they used which was still kinda far back. A lot of people didn't make it in though so I consider myself lucky. I had a hard time hearing her stories but I could hear a little here and there. (She ( Read more... )

So my freshmen year is almost over. It was an alright year but I really think next year will be more enjoyable mainly because I want to find a job for next semester since I'll have fridays off. My mom has this thing where she wants me to earn money so they don't need to give me money but at the same time she doesn't want me working anywhere in the ( Read more... )

I got a 93% on my math test. And damn right I should, I wrote my equations on flashcards to study and everything. I can also now tell you if your check, credit card, or airline ticket is counterfeit. There's nothin better than a class that teaches you how to tell such things, and if you're working the problem in reverse isn't it just teaching us ( Read more... )

So I went to a health seminar with Mandie for health class called Sex On The Rocks. It was about drinking and sex, aren't they clever? It was possibly the most boring presentation I've ever attended. You would think they would at least try to relate the topic to Carbondale but no, it was just a powerpoint with statistics. The text didn't even fly ( Read more... )

I was given a rather amusing assignment in english today. My teacher asked us to fill in the following phrase: Language is to "fill in your name", as blank is to blank. I thought it was funny and seeing as I have no idea what my grade in that class is, I gave it a fair shot. I used cream is to coffee and went into a page long analogy about it. I ( Read more... )

So I'm being lazy and haven't developed the pictures I took today, but I will sometime tonight. This assignment is on sequencing which is kind of fun. So far I've shot a sailor/pirate rubber duckie battle scene, Brandon shaving, and Bradon picking flowers off a daisy. The last one is for the 3rd section of the project where you have to use words in ( Read more... )

My main subject will be quick. I have recieved another Jones Cap to go with the previous. If you notice my my last entry I recieved a cap saying: There is new hope for projects you had almost given up on. So today my new cap says: You will make great gains in any project you undertake. Are the caps trying to tell me something? Either way, I'm ( Read more... )

So I need to start thinking about final portfolio pictures as the end of the semester will be approaching to fast for comfort. The reason to worry about such things is not really the grade in the class. The way the photo. department works, at the end of the semester for the class I'm in you have to submit a portfolio of twenty of your best pictures ( Read more... )
