I'm living...
So this is going to be a big update.
FIRST: I redid my whole blog page!!! I love the royal Marie Antoinette look, but i also like neon. I got the idea from the Juicy Couture store here. I made the visuals in photoshop. The music is for fun! Make sure you listen and let me know what you think!!
I don't remember what has all happened since the last time I have written but I DO KNOW alot has been going on for sure!
ALIVE has kept me busy with fashion week these past two weeks! Its been fun but also eye opening. By eye opening, I mean that I like fashion, I love the runway shows, but I can't work for a magazine or that industry fully. Nothing against ALIVE, the workers are all nice, but its just not something I want to dive my whole life into.
Some of you may think this kind of crazy but I think of it as a "meh" event. At the opening event to fashion week I was able to not "meet" but see, be in the same room, and stand 4 feet away from George Clooney! ha. It was..different. Odd seeing him in person when I picture him in E.R. and Oceans Eleven. But it was also kind of cool. Funny part is I was working and being professional, so it really didnt phase me as much.
The second "celebrity" I met was at the second fashion event. I didnt even realize I met him until after. I was standing right next to him when Pam, a girl that is at the internship with me came up to me and asked if i took a photo of him yet. I was like, uhh, who is he? She said, "Uh he is kind of famous." I asked who he was again and she informed me he was a pro BMX or sport person Carey Hart who was the recent ex to singer Pink. After that I remembered seeing him in the tabloids, but I never knew. That meet didnt phase me much either..ha.
I dont really see celebrities much, but I guess I'm one of those people that just is "meh" to the idea. I mean its cool, and weird, but they are just people. Dont get me wrong, I did take the ALIVE mag that Clooney rested his drinks on top of (no one else took it and why not?) and I am crazy about tabloids, ha ha, but idk...ha
So anyway, also, I have been getting ready for graduation!! I bought my cap and gown and about to buy my ring!! Its crazy I only have 5 weeks or so left!! But my move to Colorado is going well so far, I'm the first on the list for a one bedroom apartment in this really nice area outside denver and boulder and so far, the the economy in Colorado is one of the best right now and will be one of the best in the next few years, experts say. Second, Colorado is being named the next best photo city (which sucks) but hopefully I can get in and started before everyone moves camp. Idk why that trend keeps following me. First it was chicago, then that got flooded with photographers, and now its Denver, what are the chances?!
Oh and update from the last post. I think I had told you my two friends Morgan and Kesha were visiting and then my friends Lauren and Ben the day after they left were also coming up to visit. That whole week was fun! We just shopped and vegged. Its nice to have friends that have already been here come up again, because we don't have to worry about doing everything! Now its to the point where its like, whatever we already have done everything, lets do this one thing, then go back to the apt for the rest of the week or just shop. Ha. It was nice having the company! That week of the march 18th was dereks birthday so that was really fun too!! After having such a stressfull last week before spring break it was amazing to have 1) my spring break then 2) the week after have four friends visit me. I still had school work to do, but it wasnt too bad.
But I believe that is the big update this time around!! Some pics from fashion week and also from lauren and morgans trip up are up above! Hope you like the new blog look!!!

New things to talk about..(and yes, this seems to turn into a vent)
I have no new photo this week, because well, I have been way to busy to actually take any photos for myself. Its been ONE HECTIC WEEK!
Beginning with the fact that I have been trying to schedule in certain photo requests I have had to do for ALIVE. Your having to schedule around a store and their manager and your own schedule, so it can be kind of hectic but its interesting. These have had to deal with me getting to the boutique and shooting an item of the owners choice and also the owner. Its not too hard, but its the scheduling that can be confusing. I have had to do about 3 this past weekend. On Tuesday I took it easy knowing that this upcoming week was going to be terrible. Then my downfall started Wednesday.
I think its kind of ironic I had one of the worst dreams I have ever had Tuesday night when I fell asleep. Talk about a great bang opening for what lied ahead!! (btw I dreamed someone in my immediate family died, it was sad, depressing, the longest dream ever, and I never want to feel the feelings I had in my dream ever again until that day has to come) BUT, Wednesday I had to make my 30 page book I'm making for my Image and Text class which is 8 weeks. My mom and I have been working together sending photos from home. Im making a collage type of photo album with all my photos from baby to 5th grade and the book is called Nostalgic. I feel like too few people have baby photos in their own house of themeselves, and I wanted some. SO. I worked literally ALL DAY on it. Had work wend night in the dark room and worked on it throughout that time. I think for a total of 12 hours straight. THEN, didnt go to sleep because I had class at 8am. Went to that and then had my Image Text class.
In that class, I found out I did my whole book wrong, sooooo....
Then, I STILL had to write a 5 page paper due for my night class that same night. So I got home and wrote that. (i do really good with last minute and i mean LAST MINUTE papers! :) went to night class and without any sleep, debated about if there is a god, evolution, and MANY other topics with the class split up Theist and Non-Theist. AND WITH NO SLEEP..it was interesting.. but fun. I survived.
I got to sleep for about 4 hours that night, because I had to REDO my whole book and had to wake up at 8 to go into Digital Studio to do a different assignment. Which is the class that should be a semester but its 8 weeks.....With that said, we had an assignment that was us working with 2 different Sinar's.. This assignment probably would have been split up to about 3 or 4 different ones, but instead, we were doing both, in one. Each camera is kind of hard to get use to, and they each cost about 30 grand, so they are intimidating. But anyway, I couldnt even get past the first camera in the time I had because things were all screwed up with the computer and camera and I DONT KNOW..but I didnt finish the assignemnt and I have NO time to go back in..so we will see what happens!! That same day I still had class, and helped open a gallery here at webster that night.
I turned in my book to be printed, I still have to bind it. Thats due thursday..cross your fingers the printing people do it right and on time. Also cross your fingers I will get away with not being able to do that final studio assignment!
TONIGHT, I am closing the whole photo lab by myself for the first time, cuz my co-worker is in Florida for something. All night I have been typing up all my hours from the past 8 months from every event I have done with ALIVE, so I can turn it in this week and graduate...hopefully if everything goes well. ha. Interestingly enough, I was suppose to have 192 hours. I HAVE NOT been keeping track of them this whole time! I have just been doing the events and projects I can do,and luckily kept all the emails! But after adding all my hours up I have 193 exactly!! Really lucky, cuz without those hours, I wouldnt have been able to graduate!
As you can see, my weeks just dont stop!! And im literally not just saying that! I am CONSTANTLY doing something! I have no idea why this happens!! Pray for me!! But somehow I HAVE SURVIVED and been getting everything I need done, DONE.
Through all this, I forgot about Lent, BUT, I did give coffee and espresso up (which have been my saviors this past YEAR, and you know why if you have seen my workload) AND I did remember to not eat meat on friday!! So yay for me! But we will see how everything works out!!
PS--Sorry about this huge complaining update, but its nice to type it all out and let it out..ha ha. so thanks for reading if you made it to here!! Wish me luck on my FINAL week before my oh soo looking forward too SPRING BREAK!!
