[once] a week.

Oh my my my. Life has a funny way of taking the drivers seat even when you don't exactly want it to. It shoves you over and causes you to give up total control of everything. Thats pretty much where I am at this point. Just letting life go by and doing what I can when I can. I think it's a pretty bittersweet thing. As much as I enjoy having control, I am SO glad I'm not the one who ultimately decides my future. There is just so much hope and relaxation in knowing that.

With that being said, I am starting college applications this week and I am taking the SAT for the first time this Saturday. I am actually not very nervous, I just regret not taking it last year, so could be sending complete applications to colleges. That would certianly be nice. But I just have to deal with the fact that I didn't.

Hopefully I will be able to write again this week about something of greater importance, not just photography or my life. I really like doing the op-ed type of thing. It gets people thinking and adds interest :)

Hope you all have a not mundane monday. :-P

    On not taking the SAT before this year - I have things I wish I would have done differently too. Like taking an AP course sophomore year or taking more art.

    It probably comes to a degree from being the first kid in the family or maybe even being homeschooled and having so many options...

    Reminds me of the quote from Anna of Green Gable: The Continuing Story, "We all have unfulfilled dreams."

    Not that those academic things are necessarily dreams, but you know... things happened one way or another, and looking back, it could have been a different way.

    But, everyone's story is different. Glad to hear that you're going with what God has for you!

    Enjoy senior year... or, at least, find the good things and hold on to those =]

Gee.

I just had a thought. This time next summer, I will have chosen a college, secured financial aide, and found a room mate. The only decisions left will be what color I want my dorm room bed spread. It's a bittersweet thought. How I would LOVE to have all of the decisions decided and set in place for next fall, but I've heard that this is all part of enjoying the ride. I should be taking each day of this summer to relax and enjoy myself, because God knows next summer won't be as breezy. A small update on my college status. -I'm down to Art Education or Art Therapy as a major. (leaning toward Art Ed.) -I finally scheduled my SAT test date. (October 10th, 2009) -I found 5 colleges in Pennsylvania that offer Art Ed as an official major... *Messiah College (Harrisburg) *Seton Hill University (Greensburg) *The University of Edinboro (North... close to Erie) *Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Indiana, Pa. duh. ha...

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

I'll take 3 please!

So today as I was sitting in the waiting room of National Tire and Battery getting my car's oil changed I was watching the "Fox Business" channel. Minute after minute went by, but it seemed like hours. The mundane news anchors talked about how dumb it is to invest in gold bars, and how the flies in Georgia are beginning to migrate North for the winter. (the thing about flies isnt real, but it shows you how much attention I was paying to the TV). I was just about to bust out my iPod when I heard something that piqued my attention. A famous Japanese fashion designer invented an H1N1 suit. It looks just like a business suit, but the fabric on the outside has high-powered infection repellant so the H1N1 germ is killed instantly upon contact. If you want more details so you can laugh (or maybe you might be considering purchasing one for yourself) you can click here . The other thing I HAD to laugh at is the fact that Barrack Hussien Obama is the winner of this year'...
