I'm really bad at this blogging thing...

So. Once again, I'm updating the probably zero people that read this on my life to date.

I've started my senior year, and I didn't think it was possible, but I'm busier than ever.  I'm a CF again. I'm taking 4 classes, which isn't so bad, but I also have an internship.  That's 20 hours per week alone.  All of my classes require an ass-load of reading. AKA I'm stressed on an almost constant time-frame. PLUS I'm considering a career change.  Yeah. Real good timing, right?  I'm attempting to apply to grad school, but now I don't know what to apply for.  It's either going to be photography, or counseling.  For some reason, I'm really leaning toward counseling for a degree.  It occurred to me that I really like helping people, and I could consider doing it for a career.  Don't get me wrong; I like journalism, plus I'm good at it.  But I feel like I couldn't do it til I retire without hating my life.  There are about 15 reasons why that is, but I won't get into that right now.

What I will get into, however, is how much I adore photography now.  I bought a 55-200 mm lens for my camera over the summer, and it's my baby.  I took some photos at my best friend's wedding, & I loved everything about doing it.  I'm doing my ex-boyfriend's sister's senior photos sometime in November/December, and I'm also excited about that!  I think I'm going to teach myself a whole lot about photography & use it to make extra money during school, and probably forever. :)

This is a little bit of a random tangent, but I've recently come to realize how great 3rd chances are.  I've learned this the hard way, when I learned someone has recently been given one that I don't feel deserves it.  It hurts just a little more because I wasn't given the same 3rd chance, and I probably would've jumped at the chance for one.  I won't spill the details on this public of a forum because I'm classy like that. :)  But if anyone's curious, I guess you can contact me & I'd probably fill you in.  I have yet to ask why said person was given this chance and I wasn't...I'm not sure I want to hear the answer.  Note to self:  always give first, second, AND third chances...you don't realize how great they really are until you don't get one.

End rant.
