Loaded Gun

I have successfully made it through my first week of semester 2. I get monday/friday off each week, so I only have three days a week. Tuesday from 12-6, Wednesday from 8-5:30 (such a long day, because I barely get any breaks) and Thursday from 1-5:30. We didn’t really do much in any of the classes this week, and I actually managed to fall asleep in one of my classes.
My photography class is on Wed. from 1-3. You’d think that, it being photography and all, I’d be super excited for it- and I was. But it’s not really what I expected. The first class, we just watched a video of the history of photography.. so it was a dark room, and I was tired/uncomfortable, and I just ended up falling asleep while sitting up. During the course, there are 4 Canon cameras to be split between around 43 of us in the class, so we’ll get virtually no time with it. We aren’t allowed to bring our own cameras in, because that makes it ‘unfair’ if we have a different/better camera and/or lens. It’s going to be a mess, but I guess it’s all we have to work with.
For the most part, I’m pretty much a loner in my class- I switched from the Creative to the Digital program, so anyone I talked to (though I didn’t talk to many people often, and I tried to avoid the one who always talked to me the best I could) but I did make one friend. Kind of. Ish a friend. But you know, it gives me someone to (sometimes) talk to in class so it’s good, right?
But now I’m off to work from 11-8, this is probably how I’ll spend every monday/friday I have off. Though I do have the rest of the weekend off after this, so I’m excited!

Time Well Spent

If I hadn’t started watching How I Met Your Mother, I’m not sure what I would spend my time doing this break. Since I finished school, I have barely worked so all of my time goes into watching HIMYM and hanging out with my friends- today I went shopping (to three different malls, fail.. bought 2 dresses) and then went out for dinner as well. Tumblr hasn’t even been working for me, so I find myself looking up hilarious duckface pictures or Photoshop Fails, because both are things that oddly bring hours of entertainment.
This is definitely my slack break. I’m hoping that in the summer, I’ll have a different job – or at least get more hours at mine, like I did last summer. Otherwise, my time will be spent looking at funny autocorrect fails. But that wouldn’t be time I regretted… at all.

Beside You
Posted on: July 12, 2011 at 11:18 am. 1 comment
If there’s one thing I hate more than almost anything else in the world (well, other than like.. poverty, abuse and all that fun stuff), it’s getting excited for the possibility of something when you know there’s a slim chance it will happen.
Since the end of April, I’ve been brainstorming ways that I could somehow convince my parents/sister to drive 8 and a half hours up North. For most people my reasoning is quite clear: That’s where N lives. But I couldn’t simply just say ‘Hey Mom, wanna drive me eight and a half hours to visit a boy?’ because she wouldn’t go for that. So I would try to brainstorm things we could go there, but I really didn’t know what would interest my family there. And plus, I wanted to ACTUALLY have a reason other than to just go see him, because I feel like that’s a little.. too much for not even dating (though by the sounds of it, he would be all for it…)
And then last night, my sister herself suggested it. She had this idea in her head that during our week off, she wants to visit all five great lakes and take a picture of her standing in each one. Which, is actually a cool idea and I would love to be able to say I’ve been to all five great lakes, no matter where they are. It JUST SO HAPPENS that one is located relatively close to N. As in, his city is right next to it. The river his high school was named after is connected to Lake Superior. So I was all for this plan. They were all for it too, until I ever so gently pointed out that it’s actually eight and a half hours away, not four hours like my mom thought. So that changed their mind (really, I had to point it out because they’d figure it out eventually) all while still getting my hopes up. I spent last night trying to convince my sister we should still go. Since it’s so long, we COULD take an overnight bus, be there at 11:45 in the morning, then leave that night at 7:15 and be home the next morning. We won’t need a hotel (or, as he kind of offered.. a place to stay) because we can sleep on the overnight busses. But then she said we wouldn’t have a way to the lake. Busses, walking, taxi’s, etc… (N said he could be our tour guide).
But I know the chances of it actually happening are slim. I didn’t really get my hopes up for it, and instead I just have the mindset that I know it’s not going to actually happen so if it does, it will be a surprise rather than a disappointment if/when it doesn’t. I still texted N about it, and said that my sister has a plan that she wants a picture in all five great lakes. And about how she then wanted to go. He was all for this plan, as long as she brought me with her, ha. And then he just continued to attempt to give me ways to make it work. So I’d say he’s all for it. My friend said she would go with me, but then I’m going JUST to visit him and I wanted to actually have another reason…
She did say maybe we could just go to the other lakes on the week off, and then attempt to go to Lake Superior later on in the summer. But really, there’s only a month and a half left and then he’ll be back to being a short drive away. How did the summer go by so fast? It seems like just yesterday I was dreading these four long months…

Day 10 – Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
This is a pretty obvious answer: David. I’m already on the path to it as we no longer talk, I no longer want to be with him, have another guy, etc. But I still periodically (frequently) stalk his fb/email and what not. So I should really stop. I don’t ever get the urge to talk to/text him though, which is good. I used to want to whenever the slightest thing reminded me of him, but now I just don’t get reminded of him as often.
This post is done quick because I’m going out and I’m not sure if I’ll be home by midnight and I am determined to actually complete this challenge. Now the bigger challenge will be to get my cat off my lap so I can leave…
