10:00am

omg i hate getting up this late. but i was up until 2am. that doesn't happen often haha. hope this doesn't screw up my morning schedule. i hate missing the morning. but it's crunch time so i' will be working lots, ya know since i procrastinate.

overcooked my eggs. damn it!

but i did find some interesting smoothie recipes. will have to try them.

our college was one of the many that are participating in the beta Adobe Lightroom. it's a new application for working on images and some of the people in my classes participated. here is the link to the images they took. looks awesome.

i spoke with my advisor and i really don't have much further to go. it's kinda scary. it's like "what will i do when i'm done school?" i've been in the "real" world, and i haven't had really great jobs. at least not in terms of income. will i get a better paying job? will i have the skills? will i be able to make it in photography? I have no idea. i'm not a people person, and one of the main things photographers MUST be able to do is market themselves. yea, i'm not big on that.

but i at least might have my immediate future set. i discussed with the G-man about moving in with him and that is what i will do. no strings of course. which basically means, if i move on from there, then i move on.

hahaha hey i just heard that they did a study on what makes people happy. Republicans are happier than Democrats, and both are happier than INdependents. Hmmm I wonder why.......

ok anyway, as i was saying....i will be moving in with the G-man. i do not want to move back home and won't have ANY money to move anywhere else.

of course my best friend will not like this. she wants me to move back up north (Maryland). and i'm not sure i am able to let alone want to. if i do where woul di live? with her??? um that's a big no. she has two teenage (ok three) kids and three cats. let's just say the cats use the floor as their litter box and she hasn't replaced the carpets. she only lives in a tiny rowhome as it is. so that's really not an option. i would be so unhappy and at my age, my peace of mind is more important.

anyway (yea i keep bouncing around but i got so much shit on my mind) i may even be able to set up a darkroom in the G-man's house. i can take care of his house, and he can (sort of) take care of me, until i get on my feet. so it might work. the drinking though may be an issue, but we have to discuss such things still. he already knows how i feel about it. and he knows i'll make myself scarce when he's like that.

my other choices aren't the greatest, so i'm thinking about the best at least for me financially. i'll still be close to the 'rents if i need to help out the old man. and i am close to Atlanta which is the art hub of the south (ugh although i will hate the traffice again. a small price to pay)

well that's about it in a brazil nutshell!

i am going to try to get some of the photos off the camera from my trip to the lighthouse.
