Well it has been a great first quarter so far. I can see my work improving on a weekly basis and I'm starting to learn more about my personal style as a photographer. Every week we have had 144 pictures per project about a certain camera function, depth of field, motion, abstract, etc. and I have loved every assignment. 144 pictures seems like a lot to most people but to me and many others thats how many we take in an hour. The problem is picking out which ones actually look worthy of keeping. So school is going great and I enjoy all my classes, they are much more involved than reading out of a textbook and taking tests every week while the teacher gives a 2-hour long lecture in the same monotone voice.
My main problem with life up here is that there are no jobs to be had, none. I have applied to 5 different retail jobs and only one gave me a first interview. This is a huge city and yet there are no jobs within a 20 mile radius. Another problem, roommates. Yeah I said it, I debated on weather to bring it up since I would probably post this link on Facebook, but I am better at talking on a computer than in person. Wow I never met any people so whiney in my whole life. I have one that I can completely trust who has my back at all times and I only met him two months ago, but we are cool and seeing that we grew up around the same area it makes it easier. The other ones are the puppet and puppeteer. I laugh my butt off every time I see them at work. One is so afraid to tell the other something because the other gets him the "stuff" he needs. I hope you understood that. Well I can't sit here and make this blog dreary, but I can guarantee there will be more posts detailing the situations.
So if I'm going to write in a positive manor, then let's think of something positive. Ok, I'm traveling home today. I love it there, I get peace and quiet (usually) and all the people I love are there and all my friends are within a stone's throw. I love having a place where I can do work and not have to hear music playing or people fighting and yelling. Well on to more positive things. On a lighter note I got hired to work for Chacha.com as a guide. Chacha is a service that allows you to send questions through text on your phone (to 242-242) and we, the guides, search for the answer to your questions. While right now it doesn't pay much, I can see it prospering. I don't expect to make a career out of it but if I can get enough to pay metro fare each week then I am glad to help. Im also trying to become a better blogger, by working for technology blogs. I know it's nerdy but at $5 an article you can't beat it. Currently I am starting back writing for Mactropolis.com and hope to be starting at a new Android blog (this one pays). I'm going to be stopping at Tyson's corner today to pick up some cupcakes for a former co-worker, and of course one or two for me. They are the best cupcakes in the world. They are from CakeLove which was started by a Food Network chef who is based in DC. They are quite pricey but they are gourmet and all natural so it's worth the cost. Cupcakes and a Diet Mountain Dew, wow life is good.
Ok so this seems like a lot to me, but it seems like its short. I hope I can keep this up and that people don't get worked up over it. Eff them this is my part of this big internet so I'll say what I want :-)
Well Class is close to starting, but not really, I'm just tired of writing and need to converse with real people haha no offense. Have a great day!
