Day Thirteen: Yes, I Know

Yes, I know, it's been a long time. But to make up for it, pictures! I have a few self portraits that I like, but couldn't pick one to upload. And I have a few photos from the walk in the rain I had the other night. The colors are beautiful! Anyway, not much time for talking today, but lemme know what you think of the photos! And no, they are not edited.

Day Eleven: The Life of a Post-Secondary Student

(Yes, I know Secondary is cut in half with no hyphen. Don't criticize me!) Today was definitely a day that made me feel like a (I say post-secondary, because I'm so used to saying university student, but I'm not anymore. I'm a college student, but I like Post-Secondary better than college....anyway.....) post-secondary student. Broke as glass. I had to buy pants and shoes for work, and groceries.

Plus. I slept in until one. Something I haven't done in a long time. I'm usually never up at four in the morning, but last night was an exception. A very rare one too.

Tyler and Steve (I don't know if I've mentioned him before, but Steve is married to Leah and they're that couple that you're pretty well best friends with and they're the kind of people that Tyler and I (if ever we have a place of our own) would give them the keys to watch over it so we'd go away for a few days and ask them to mind the cat and stuff. Awesome people, I just wish we could hang out more often. And that Leah could join us. Oh! And Leah's pregnant!) came up to Freddi last night to do some video for the band of one of the actors they're using for something. That was done at one, and then we hung out at my apartment for a few hours, before they drove back to Saint John.

It was an awesome night, I'm just sad it had to end and it's something that doesn't happen often. Though, with me now working at Future Shop, I should be making more money eventually, so I'll be able to go home!

I'm not kidding you. This is pretty well three-four weeks worth of groceries for me.

Day Ten: What's Different?

So, do you notice what's different?

Can ya guess?

At Anything?

.....

My hair's cut. That's right folks, I cut my own hair. Mind you, I don't know how my mum and sister will take it, because they've always told me to never cut my own hair. I can home from class and after my shower I figured I might as well trim more of my bangs, because it was starting to bug me that I didn't cut all of them. Then, it kinda spiraled and soon enough I can around to cutting my hair. What do you think? Like it? No? Why?

Something funny that happened today at school. I was in my ceramics class and we were working away on our projects and schtuff. When all of a sudden, the fire alarm starts going off. But everyone in my class looks up and around at the rest of the class all wondering whether or not we should keep working or if we should actually head the fire alarm.

It's kinda a funny thought to think of. Art students that would rather keep working than save themselves from a probable death. A fun little tid bit I figured that I would share with you.

Here's my hair. Enjoy!




Oh, and I'm broke. Very broke.

Day Nine: Please Shoot Me

No, don't actually shoot me. And no, I don't hate Future Shop. I'm just so friggin' tired. Up at 7. Class 9-12. Put in my two weeks at Tim's went to the bank, ate. Class 1-4. Work 5-9. Ceramics homework at the school 9.30-10.30. Groceries 10.49-10.56. Check Facebook and e-mail 11.20-12.20. This 12.20-whenever I finish typing.

I'm super excited at Future Shop. I started shadowing today. Though I need to get pants and shoes for my shift on Sunday. Speaking of shifts though, So far, scheduled between now and the 13th (when next week ends for work weeks) I have a total of 42 hours scheduled to work. Maybe more, because I had to not work some shifts at Future Shop, 'cause of Tim's. But I might be adding another 16 hours on to all of that. Doesn't it sound like the BEST MARCH BREAK EVER! Although the money will be good and I do really need it. I'm becoming that poor university student that can almost not afford food.

Well, now I feel bad. There was more stuff that I wanted to tell you lovely people but I don't quite remember.  Wait! I remember a part of the things I wanted to say. Yes, I do practically live in that sweater. My STU Men's sweater from last year. It's livable quality. It's warm, big and cozy. On top of all of that, the hood is actually designed to fit over you head! Anyway, I just wanted to say all of that, because I noticed I was wearing the same sweater in the photo for yesterday.

This was my calendar. There's lots of things written on there, but little that's actually up to date. I have a tendency of doing that. Starting to get organized and then just kind of writing other things on it. I want to start taking photos of it each time it's time to change the month. Because some pretty awesome things get written on it. I changed it tonight. The proper months are on it and my work hours, plus birthdays and when projects are due and when Tyler's coming up and out one year and eight months. 

Speaking of that, it's pretty crazy to think that it's almost two years for us. At the same time, it's ONLY been two years? How can that be? It feels like we've been together for significantly longer than that. Sometime, I'll write about how wonderful he is to me and how awesome he is in general. That's for another night. I have class early in the morning, and a late night ahead of me, plus I forgot some things to get at Sobeys and I have to go to the mall..Yay. Night!

UPDATE: I REMEMBER! It's like five minutes later, but anyway. I remember what I was going to say. I heard over and over again today stuff like.

Someone: Which department are you going into?

Me: DI (Digital Imaging, i.e. cameras)

Someone: Oh, I heard about you. You know a lot about dog food don't you?

Me: (kinda stunned) yes?

Someone: Mark (the general manager) was telling me about you.

Me: Oh, wow. (Kinda embarrassed)

Someone: No, that's good. He was really impressed with how much you knew about dog food. It makes you look really good that you still know all of it.

In my mind I was going through the interview, and for those of you who have actually heard the ENTIRE spield of my dog food rant, I barely even scratched the surface of what I know about dog food... But anyway, a BIG THANKS to Pet Corral. I miss that store...

Day Two: Time for Commitments

 So far, I've managed to stick with it. I'm on day two. It's turning out good so far. Sometimes my roommate and I have a little thing about not wanting to do the dishes. They tend to pile up and then there's less of a desire to ever get them done.

Today was my day to try and stick with personal commitments that I've made and have failed at so far. Doing dishes is one of the prominent ones. To help stick with it, I started the dishes before my roommate got home. When she returned, together we finished while discussing the events of our days and intermittent silence. Which was actually kind of enjoyable.

In light of actually doing the dishes, that's what todays photo is about. It's a picture of our clean kitchen! I know it's not the most spotless kitchen in the world, but at eleven at night, you don't really want to clean every nook and cranny. I still had this photo thing to do and I have to pack, because I'm going home tomorrow night. So, I'm going to take a photo, I'm just not sure if I'll be able to upload it tomorrow night. I shall try!

I hope you have fun looking at our clean kitchen! If you look at the photo of me up there ^ then you can see how prunny my fingers are. That's what you get for spending an hour up to your elbows in water.

Day One: The Begining

This is the day I official start the apparent 365 photo challenge. I know a few, few, one of you should be especially excite about this, because you have tried to convince me to do this a few times and I know you'll nag me about it often enough if I forget a day. I want to take one photo a day to upload that has a little tiny story about that particular day and what it meant to my life.  Plus, I'm also taking a self-portrait everyday as the counters.

The photos I upload will depict 365 moments in my life through 730 photos. I want to tell the story of my life, even if only for myself to look back on in a few years. Everyone has a story to tell, and this is sorta mine.

I want to try and make sure I take one photo a day. I'm horrible at doing things on a daily basis and don't usually complete anything I want to. I'm hoping this is the one thing that changes all of that. I want to be able to love my photos again. No more of this, "Well, it's ok. It could be better, I just don't want to look at it anymore," kind of photos. And on the bright side, it's definitely good practice!

This is a photo of something I've wanted to take a photo of for a long time, I just never have. I figure in starting this blog/challenge/personal mountain to climb, it's about time for me to take this photo. However, I never imagined having it out of focus like this. The initial intent was to have the image in the background in focus and more of the rose in the shot. For laughs and giggles, I threw on a 3X filter and messed around with the shallow depth of field. Something about the color drew me to try playing with a part of the flower just barely out of focus.

Now, the story of this shot is not just as what preceded this paragraph, but it's one of the flowers my boyfriend gave me for our one year anniversary. I wanted to keep it, even though it was supposed to die. instead, I dried it and keep it in a small one flower vase in my bedroom.
