Need...To...Work...On...Photography!

So... Just this past week I joined my local art gallery. The Hanover Area Arts Guild. It is a very neat place. I haven't had much time to actually look at all the art work and explore the gallery. But from what I have seen, it is very promising. I joined hoping that it would motivate me to work harder at finding time to take pictures and practice. So far, I haven't found that motivation. It has only been a week... So hopefully I will find time very soon. It is just so hard to balance everything sometimes. If I had a better job and could just work enough to pay my bills, I know I would have plenty of time. But I don't. So I have to work my butt off. But that is life right?

Anywho... I also need to get to the point where I have my camera with me at all times and I take pictures of everything. I always have my little compact camera with me, but never seem to find the need to use it. Which is what I want to improve. I started applying that method the other day, taking pictures of the breakfast my boyfriend and I were making.



Mmm! They were amazing pancakes! Haha.

But yeah. Those are the two most important things I want to improve. Lets hope I succeed. In the mean time, I am working very hard at preparing to go back to school in the fall. I can't wait to start! I can't wait to set goals and go about achieving them. I think I finally have the right plan in mind, and I am going to put all I have into doing the best so I can get the most out of my major. I want to be as prepared as I can before I go my own path into my own business so I don't fail. I have fallen a lot, and it has taken a major toll on me sometimes. I would have to say that about half the time I can pick myself back up and keep moving forward. But there were still a lot of times that I couldn't. And it hurt. So here's hoping that I do my best!!!

First Post on My New Blog!

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog! I decided to get a blog to inform those of you who want to know what is going on in my life. Such as my daily experiences, decisions, choices, problems I will face. I also created this blog as a way to share my experiences of pursuing my future career as a photographer. So for those of you who care and want to follow what has been going on in my life, I hope you enjoy following the journey my life will take.

Sooo... what is going in in my life right now you ask? Well, not much at the moment.

I am not going to college right now. I took this past year off, due to not knowing what path I wanted to take. So I just have been working at my current job at Baltimore Street McDonalds. I have worked there for over a year now. I guess I like it. It is a job... But I am very thankful for it. And since no one is really hiring, and I'm tired of applying to places, I'm pretty much staying there until I can cross into my own job/career. I have recently decided to try to move up and become a swing manager. So that is an exciting process. As for school... my plan is to go back to HACC in the fall. I've decided to go for an Associates Degree in Business Management. Then on the side I will take photography classes that I want to take. There is a certificate program that HACC is offering over the summer that I would really like to do. Also, there is this great internship I found out about through a friend that I would LOVE to do. It is held by a photographer from Nashville, Tennessee for two weeks. It looks absolutely amazing and I am working my butt off to gather enough money to go this summer. But yeah. That is my plan! I just hope I succeed.

Well, I think that is all I want to post tonight. I could write for hours, but then I wouldn't have enough to write about for the next couple blogs. Haha. So I hope someone reads this soon and enjoys!
