new game plan...

For those that don’t know, I’m apart of a photography program already… A continuing education one - you know the type where you can take classes when ever you want. Well I’m half way done the certificate requirements.

There is a possibility that I could completely skip first year at acad and go directly into my major with the completion of the certificate.

So here we are… I’m going to push through 5 courses this summer and apply to acad for winter semester.

I find myself quite content with this plan...
More than what I thought I would be.
Takes a load of stress off my plate.

applying to art school sucks...

you know what i hate...
writing personal statements.

self-promotion like this makes me feel like a douche.
'hey im super talented. so i deserve to be in your program more than him'.

ive tried to write this page statement for a few days now, im still left with nothing...

can't i just write 'pretty please accept me into your program' and be done with it?!

ive been passive my whole life. a trait im pretty sure has held me back in the past. the 'i dont wanna step on anyone's toes so i let opportunities pass me by' needs to go.

if only it was easy.

anyways back to staring at the blank word document...

been awhile.

3 weeks without a blog post…
I hate how time flies by these days.
It’s like a blink is a week…

Ive been fighting a cold for about a week now. Mind you im always fighting a cold. I don’t really think Im ever actually over a cold. Just sits there dormant for a few days and I think that I am better. I finally let myself have a sick day yesterday. I can’t remember the last time I took a day off. But I needed it. Weekends seemed to always be packed with stuff to do. Errands, Chores, Family & Friends, you know how it goes.. It was nice to be able to relax and take it easy. To drink Timmys and watch endless hours of Olympics. Took A to get our nails done late afternoon before she heads to Basic TOMORROW. Holy crap!

I’m going to start the P90X Lean program tonight. Apparently from the reviews, I will not be able to move tomorrow.

I use to be super active. Gym 5-6x/week. Soccer 3x/ week. Pilates 1-2x/week. I was a machine. Though I’m not lazy by any means, compared to that I feel that I am. I’ve signed up for a 10K run in May, as soon as the majority of the ice melts I’ll start training.

My mom also thinks I have a dietary allergy of some sort.... After years of crappy stomach aches, we’re still trying to pinpoint it. Starting by cutting out diary *cries*. I miss cheese and yogurt already. Luckily I don’t mind the taste of soy milk.

I miss having a dog so much.

to be continued....

random sunday.

 cinnamon eggos & coffee.

grumpy.tired.sick.irritable.

this post will be very random as well im kind of in a very blah mood. im sick once again. i hate having soo much to do but no energy at all to do anything. sunday is laundry/cleaning day. aka get ready for another work week. weekends feel like a blink as of late.

watching mtv's 'taking the stage', your typical 'reality' show following dramatic teens but what draws me to this show is how talented they all are.  singers, dancers, musicians and artists. their passion and drive inspires me. truth is if i could go back to school i would have done it differently. i would have taken band and took every art class i could. i regret stop playing the piano and guitar. ive pulled out my guitar and have fiddled. i remember how much work it was to be decent... time i dont seemingly have as of late...

this would lead to the next show on mtv, 'the buried life'.... asks the question what would you want to do before you die... modern twist on the classic bucket list... ive always struggled to create this list... to boil it down to specifics.... i want to travel. i want to take photos. i want to constantly improve all my art. but other than that i dont know.

i hate that society has this notion that us adults have to have this all figured out... i was going to say young adults but at 25 do i qualify for that stilll... most likely do...

im ok with not knowing yet. i got lots of life to live.

a MUST see.

One of my Favorite Movies.....

A Canadian Movie...

i love days off.
