I think I'm at least a little bit different. I'm more IRL and less OL if that makes sense. I used to never talk to people and be very introverted. Well, I still think I am, but I have grown into confidence substantially.

I don't know what else to say. I just felt like saying that.

Seems like I didn't even post once during my first semester of college. So, about that. It's pretty decent. My grades could be better, but I think it's pretty average for a first semester of college. I love the people and that's about it. My goal is to become a journalist and Manhattanville doesn't even have that major. So I'm a Professional Writing major and that sucks. Another thing is that all of the classes I wanted to take were closed and I'm basically taking signed up for seven classes I don't want to take next semester. Not even one writing class was open this semester and I don't think that's fair for English majors.

I want to transfer to University of Florida's Journalism and Communications College. Seems like the place for me. Plus, it's way more affordable than Manhattanville. Only thing is that I think I might have to be there for four years even if I'm at Mville for a whole year b/c I'll be behind in the program. My mom already gave me "permission" to transfer out of Mville after two years, but I think it would be stupid to wait too long

So, anyway, at Mville I made a few really good friends. There's Travis, Sara, Bianca, Mike, and quite a few others. Actually, I happen to be housed in Los Angeles, California at the moment by Sara's family. I've been here since Dec. 25th (yes, xmas.) and I'll be here until Jan. 8th! It's pretty amazing here. I basically just came to chill with Sara and stuff. It's been pretty awesome. If it weren't for lack of upload ability of my camera at the moment, I can tell you that there would already be several deviations up from beautiful shots I've been taking.

So, it's 2009. Time to reflect. Man, I was different January 1st 2008. One year ago. Who would have though I'd be chillin in LA with a college friend and experiencing all sorts of new things just a short year after I started submitting college applications. I've really changed. More than you know.

Happy New Year everyone!

Yeah, I'm officially a college student! For almost two weeks already..aha.

So I'm living here at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York. It's only a hour and ten minute car ride or two hours of trains and a bus away from my house.

The campus is beautiful and is definitely worthy of getting photographed. One of these days, haha.

So, at first, I was in a double with no roommate because the girl that was supposed to live in here got mono and won't be coming to Mville until January. So I was pretty sure that someone else would be put in here. I figured that I'd randomly come back to my room one day and a girl would be in here. That's exactly what happened. I went to unlock my door and it was already unlocked. So I got freaked, but then I went inside and saw her and her suitcase and stuff. Lol. So she's this girl from Italy. Like, she just got to America today and doesn't know a ton of English, Italy. She's really nice though.

So, anyway, I think I'm going to go back to sleep soon since I don't have class on Wednesdays. EVER. Yesss.

I realized that using the clone brush in PSP to make boarders for photos that match the subject of the photo looks really childish and unprofessional. So, I stopped using them. A plain black boarder looks much more clean cut as well.

So I went to the Jonas Brothers concert on 8.10 with my sister. Also on 8.9 I went to a friend's 18th birthday party that surprisingly had many things to photograph. So I'm deviating a lot of those photos.

Tomorrow I'm going to NYC with my friends, so I think I should find some subjects to photograph while I'm there.

I have four shows coming up that I'm going to. On September 27th I'm seeing Danger Radio at Vibe Lounge, on October 7th I'm seeing Shwayze at The Crazy Donkey, on October 11th I'm seeing Cobra Starship at the Nokia Theater Times Square, and on November 11th I'm seeing Chiodos at the Roseland Ballroom. I only have tickets for the Danger Radio show so far. Haha.

I'm leaving my town in ten days to move into Manhattanville College. That should be fun.

So I was looking through folders of old photos on my pc on Saturday, and I came across photos from when my hair was really short, I thought it was cute, so I decided to get it cut.. that day. I had the idea at about 11am, and it was cut by 2pm the same day. I cut so much off. It's really really short now. I like it though, and I'm glad that I did it on impulse, because there's most likely no way that I would have done it if I thought about it for a while.

So yeah. These last few days have been pretty crazy haha. Good times though..XD

So today is August 4th, and I'll be moving to Manhattanville College, one and a half hours away. My neighbor was watching the news the other day and saw something about there being a BEAR on the Mville campus! WTF????? I don't like that. If there's bears near Mville, that means that I can't go into the woods, and I really like going into the woods for photography and... stuff. So yeah. That's interesting.
