Oh, look at that time flying. It goes by quickly, doesn't it?
The end of last year wasn't as eventful or uplifting as I thought it might have originally been but it still wasn't too shabby.
I got two side jobs working with different photography studios. On the down side, I don't work as a photographer for them. I work in the office at one (I had a job identical to this five years ago and it was the worst) and at the other studio I work as a "photographer assistant". I, basically, do nothing but record jpeg #s and keep kids in line. If I'm lucky I get to be the photographer. They both aren't good studios. Hopefully, they'll evolve to something better. My gut says no. Photographers are flakey.

| Then again, maybe I should start lying about my past experience. |
I haven't really practiced my photography very much lately. I have been told by different photographers that I am good and that I am bad. It's a mixed bag. Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess. I have been told that I shouldn't take their comments to be truth or too personally. It's been a learning experience. I tend to listen to other peoples opinions too much. It's been great practice to just ignore them, take as much advice as possible without identifying with it personally, and keep on trucking. Especially, since I'm still learning.

| Couldn't have said it better myself. |
So, besides the part time sucky jobs, I finished all, and I mean ALL of my core classes at GPC. I could officially get a Associates in Film if I wanted to. I am still having issues signing up for classes with GSU and classes start in one week. We'll see what happens. I haven't had my heart in it lately. I love film but what am I actually going to be contributing to the field? Everyone is basically an assistant to the Director. I don't want to be assistant. That and I can only live in certain cities where the film industry is thriving. Andrew and I have been toying with the idea of moving away from Atlanta. It's a great town but we've never lived outside of Georgia. We were thinking our lifestyle aligns more with Portland's. That's right, the hipster capitol of the world!

| Multnomah Falls-OH,HELL YES! We would ride our bikes so hard there. |
It would be lovely to live in that area of the country. Beautiful hikes...

| Stone House in Green Forest Park Woods |
Amazing architecture...
 |
| St. Johns Bridge |
 |
| I could be friends with people who do this. |
I would not look forward to the colder brisk weather but how could you pass up those colorful cozy looking stores? Plus, it would mean sledding and skiing.

| NW 23rd Avenue |
Oh, how nice that would be. Eventually, we might. We will just have to wait and see. As for now, it's back to the books. How many people get a free ride to go to college? That's right, I got a Pell Grant. I GET TO GO TO COLLEGE FOR FREE. There's no way I shouldn't go.
Let's see how this week goes.
Btw, I noticed that last month I had visitors from around the globe reading my blog. It was such a surprise. I don't know what would bring people here but if you happen to be passing by, please, leave me a comment, it would make my day!
