woot! okay so i had my critique last friday, and while i was expecting ti be ripped to shreds by my teacher after hearing rumours he made people cry the day before, it actually went pretty well. he didnt tear me apart, he told me i needed a lot of work on my colour printing, but i have always known that. but he liekd what i was trying to portray. i was proud of myself because i didnt trip over my words, which really helped me, i knew what i wanted to say an di said it. which i think is the main reason he didnt rip me to pieces, but either way im in one piece so im happy.

no more stress for this year! next semester is gonna be crazy as hell but oh well i can deal with that!

i lent out my lens to a family friend, and i am awaiting to get it back, but once i do im gonna start work on my projects fr next semester, so that way i have some stuff done when i get back and i wont have to stress out later!

im at work now rumaging through websites, and i came across the website for dutch boy drum and bugle corps, where i marched back when i was like 11, so its weird going back and looking at stuff, cool but weird.

i think im gonna read now though, i have three more hours here, and i am gonna die of boredom soon lol.

ttyl everybody and have a great holiday season!

hey everybody

long time no talk! That is mainly because second year at ryerson for photography, is insane, at least a lot worse than last year when it comes to the number and siz eof the workload/projects! it was a constant amount during the semester but now at the end, i am feeling the heat lol. i think we all are though which is good. we have about five projects and one exam in the next two weeks, all gigantic lol.

well sort of gigantic!

anyways so stress is lovely for me, it helps me feel the pain, of headaches the the awkwardness of stress twitches, and yes they truly do exist! when you yawn, sneeze, caugh or stare at something long enough, your eye twitches, it feels weird and cool all at once, yet your confused because its not that normal for your eye to twitch like that.......lmao

things are good though, i can honestly say that in the midst of all this stress and craziness that is second year of school, i am content and happy, and actually feeling somewhat confident.....which will all be squashed at my critique on the 8th but oh well at least im prepared to be squashed, although i feel confident......cuz everytime i go into that class feeling confident and well prepared like i have an aweosme project.....i come out crying....need to get used to that whole constructive critiscism thing.....especially since its what my field is all about lol.

ahh well i will evantually

anyways so other than that life is good, i will be trying to update shortly, maybe with some of my photos from my project....wont be able to put much up because a lot of them are nudes, and i dont think the models want them up on the net, which is cool, so ill be posting some of the ones where clothes are on them.

as well as some of the work i have odne this semester, and maybe some projects that i have to finish in the next week.

anyways i should jet, maybe get back to work.....

so school is awesome, but incredibly intense. projects are coming out of my ass, like literally, its quite painful actually lol. with my tiny job and work, im having an awesome/almost stressful but not quite year so far. i spent this entire week in the colour darkroom, and the studio. im scared because i don't wanna do as badly as last year. i mean i didnt do very badly i just feel personally i could have done a lot better, so i am trying to do a lot better. plus my teacher this year is going to push us like there is no tomorrow. so im kind of scared about the second critique this monday. he even said the first one was just a beginner to get us back in the game from being off all summer, so he was easy on us. one of my prints wasnt that great but yet i managed to get a 70, so maybe this time i can get like a 90 on a couple of my prints, seeing as i know at least one is awesome. its my favourite print....i had help taking the actual photo cuz you know i cant do a self portrait by myself, when i cant move cuz fabric is set up specifically. but the actually pring job is awesome, it took me a bit to get it colour matched but oh well.

work is fun right now......not, i am sitting here doing absolutely nothing, in fact this, writing in here, is all im doing. and when i am done, i dont know what im going to do for the next three and 1/2 hours. its going to be hell on earth, or at least in the illc.

anyways thats my update, i should have some pics up at some point, but for now, itll just be randoms i decide to updload every so often, im working on a time when i can scan stuff in but right now there isnt much time in my schedule.

anyways ttyl

so i am finally at school, an dhave been for a good three weeks now. i love my job as floor president, it is awesome, and i am working the front desk as well, which rocks cuz you get to sit her ebuzz people in and do your homework. woot! school is awesome, this year is going to rock, second year is crazy as hell in photo so far but nice, and different, but awesomeness to the max.......its early im at work and dont expect me to make any sense lol.

my floor is aweosme as hell, they're just a bunch of dorks whom i love lol.
my roomates are wicked, i lucked out like crazy because my girl roomate is just like me, and we both have discussed how we feel like we've known eachother forever, so tis awesome. and my guy roomates ar ewicke dcool too. that speloling error will stay to inform you an dprove my tiredness, ahahaha gotta love first years who run to get to their classes....you see everything from the front desk. woot!

anyways on a slight side note, mandi i hope somebody drops out so u can get in, otherwise you always have next year! it would have been cool that you came to pitman though, you might have even been on my floor, cuz we're missing people in our suites, so that would have been cooler. oh well youll be her enext year!!!!
