its the last

...full day of the trimester. I am all caught up, and my proposal wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Right now I'm working on my outline for the paper I have to write next year. Then I'm done =]

Yay =]

I got an interview with a senior who works at a portrait studio. I got my interview questions done, my questionnaire done, and I'm caught up! I have a B. Now, all I have to do is wait for Sarah to let me know when she's free for an interview. =D

today i

Today I worked on my notes. I have been re-reading all my articles and doing my notes on them. It's taking me absolutely forever though. I'm getting aggravated. I'm going to try a different method or something because there is no reason it's taking me this long to do notes.


I think I'll be doing a LOT of this after class is over, I feel smothered because there aren't that many days left. I'm going to get a bad grade in this class, and I know it. :/

so i lied...

I felt like I was catching up for a while, but now I'm back to screwed.

I am not even done with my notes yet, and we just keep getting more and more work on top of that. I didn't do my interview questions yet.

I'm just frustrated again. I don't even want to do this anymore, if I didn't have to do this to graduate, I wouldn't be doing this at all. ugh

hallelujah?

I finallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly feel like I know what I'm doing. =]

I have been so far behind, I'm actually failing this class right now.

But today when we had to put our topic with an issue, Ms. B. gave me the idea to do an art show, instead of just a portfolio, that way I have a final product that takes a lot more work to get to.

I just emailed a gallery across the street from here and asked for someone to email me back about an interview.

:D I wasn't expecting to catch up ever, and now I feel like I am.

Did you know...

Photographers held about 122,000 jobs in 2006, and more than half of them were self employed

When photographing children, it's good to get down to their level; expressions will be better captured and the background usually looks better as well

Some of the best pictures come from making the experience fun for the child and catching the candid moments

It's best not to use a tripod when photographing children; you need to be able to move around

Take more than one shot, the second or third one in the sequence is often the best one

Most digital cameras have an auto focus button, you have to press the shutter button halfway down
