There’s always so much going through my head, so much I feel I want to say or write about and then when it comes down to it, I forget everything or don’t type it all out as it is in my head. So this time around I’ll do something different instead and just make a bulleted list like Jenn does instead of writing out a full length all over the place post :P

• I still need to decide on my last class for next semester. It’s either take 1 class on Tues/Thurs which is a class I want to take or take another online class as an easy credit and have two days off during the week. Sigh!
  
• Wish it wasn’t so hard to find a job. I’ve placed a few applications here and there that I think I’d enjoy working or at least won’t be too hard to work around my class schedule when classes start but I’ve had no luck thus far. It also really irritates me that I’ve applied to this one job that I feel I qualify for and that the posting for the job was taken down a few weeks ago (never got a call for it) and it’s now been reposted. WTH?
  
• The weather has been way nice as of lately and I’m so glad that I have my grand parents pool to go swimming in. I just need to remember to wear sunscreen from now on and quit being stupid when it comes to the sun; it’ll be my luck that I’ll end up being one of those people that gets skin cancer L
  
• As previously posted about here, I really need to get out and start using my camera more…there was a reason for them buying me a brand new camera for my birthday aside from using it for my photography class; I miss using it, I want to use it, I guess I just feel like I have no motivation to do so.
  
• Things with the boyfriend have not gotten any better. I’ve hardly talked to him in the past two weeks and I’m sick of hearing the excuse “I’ve been really tired/busy.” I called him tonight and I even made the comment ‘I just feel like we haven’t talked in awhile’ and he responded with yeah I know we haven’t talked in awhile…then preceded to say how he had a buddy coming over (at 11:30pm!) to help him put together his new PC, so I let him go. Whatever. I’m so over it, I just need to find the courage/strength to tell him how I feel.
  
• All in all, I suppose I’m doing alright. Bored out of my mind without having anything to do during the day but swim whilst looking for a job, I can’t wait for classes to start so I can get this last semester over with and move on…

Today was fairly nice; I miraculously went to sleep last night at a decent time...it was still late, but 2:30am is better than 6-7am which also allowed me to wake up at 11:30 rather than 8pm in the evening. I was awake at 11 this morning but didn't roll out of bed until 11:30. I left around 2pm with my mom to head over to my grand parent's house and spent the day in the pool, it was just a really nice relaxed day. Now it's thundering and lightning outside, and I hope my internet doesn't get knocked out or I'll be pissed, haha.

I was thinking the other day that I really would like to get back into my photography. I've taken two photography classes at the community college I go to (which btw, I'll have my AA finished in Dec. eeeh!!) and I thoroughly enjoyed them; they were film black & white photography classes in which we took our photos, we developed the film and we made our prints. My grand parents bought me a Canon EOS Rebal T2 for my birthday (February) this year and I've only used it thus far for my photography class which I took this past semester...I did use it to take pictures at my brother's graduation but outside of taking photos for school projects, I haven't used it. I really need to find some places to take pictures and just go and shoot, colored & black and white. I enjoy taking pictures that give a nostalgic feel and I enjoy the usual flowers & such, I really want to find a nice macro lens but when it comes to things like that I don't know what's good, what's bad or where/what to look for. SOMEONE HELP :)
