not much going on

I really need to start blogging more often instead of once a month. . . well there hasn't been a whole lot going on. Other than SCAD aggravating the crap outa me. I took classes during summer quarter and let me just say NICE!!! It was pretty relaxing, mainly cause there were only like 5 people in each of my classes and there was hardly anyone ever at school. I could park right at the front on the level I wanted to in the parking deck. It was great! Now it's fall quarter and the school is running wild with freshman and idiots, which most fall into both categories. The parking deck is full and I have trouble remembering where I park my car. Not to mention that the parking deck is one way and I have had to stop on many occasions and wait for the moron driving the wrong way to back up and get outa my way cause I won't move (hahaha...). Also the freshmen will ask you the stupidest questions ever! For example one asked me "is this elevator going up?" I just stood there and stared at her like the idiot she is, because WE WERE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR!!! Seriously I couldn't believe that she had just asked that. Many of them would ask what floor their class was on even after school had been going on for 3 weeks! But it's not just the freshman that are idiots, o no it's older students as well, many graduate students that have been here for a while. This one woman in my class, who was also in a class with me during the summer, has been shown how to use the printers at least 3x's during the summer and 2x's this quarter and still doesn't know how to use it!!! Another girl has a job as a photographer and editor for a newspaper here in Atlanta. She's been working as one for many years now and what does she do the first week of school . . . she messes up one of the printers cause she PUT THE PAPER IN BACKWARDS! I'm serious you can't make this stuff up! So the printer had to be cleaned and fixed before anyone could use it again. I'm still in shock that she did that! Well besides the moronic students that go here the faculty and staff are stupid also. I've got one teacher that has been teacher here for a year and still has no clue how to use the printers nor how to check stuff outa the cave or from Travis, guy in charge of fixing photo equipment and checking it out to people! There's also the administrative staff that handle registering and finance, who have no idea what classes you need to take, when you should take them, if you've paid tuition, or pretty much anything at all! And let's not forget the huge statue that their putting up on the front lawn of the school! This ridiculous box sculpture right in the middle of the grass. And they freakin closed down 2 1/2 lanes of traffic on Peachtree to do this. So people are driving half on one lane and half on the turn lane. Good job SCAD, back traffic up and make people late to work and your students late for class! And I really don't see the need to re-landscape the flowers every season of the year! The people actually paying money to the school, the students, do not give a crap about the damn flowers! How about spending money on things that actually need to be fixed such as; new computers or at least fix the ones we got now, new printers in the print lab, more printers for regular printing in the computer labs, fix the elevators that are messed up so that more people don't get stuck in them, more books in the library considering Atl's is probably not even a fraction of Sav's., and the list goes on. . .

Like No Others

I have got the best friends in the world. They are always there for me in my time of sorrow and pain. They are great listeners and only want the best for me, and i only want the best for them as well. With out my friends i would be lost and without comfort. They help lift me up when im down. They pray for me when i am in need. They mean the world to me and i dont know what i would do with out a any of them. We are a special group, a unit, and without just one of us the bunch would be incomplete. We are all so different from each other and yet there is something that also brings us all together. God has a plan for each of us. Totally different from one another and yet He brought us all together through our time together as kids. We have grown up together, shared adventures, experiences, and heartaches. What we didnt share together we shared in stories during slumber parties, annual dinners, phone calls, and emails. There are 6 of us, we went to 5 different schools, had different home lives, and even have some different views on life and yet we all grew in the same church. God has a plan for each of us and we are all a part of the others plan. Gods plan for us as friends started in 1988 and continues to this day. As adults, college graduates, and spouses we still make time for each other. We have watched each other grow and change and continue to. We care about one another like no one else. No one can take the place of even a single one of them. I love these girls with all my heart. They are my best friends, they always have been and always will be.

ice cream experience

so my g-mommy and me went to get a dipped ice cream cone at mcdonalds the other day and had a hilarious experience with them. the girl who made them obviously didnt really know what she was doing. ok so when you put ice cream on a cone you swirl it up not around over the edges of the cone. well thats what this girl did. she put way too much ice cream on the cone and it was coming over the sides before she even dipped it in the chocolate. so when she was finally done and handed me the cone ice cream was dripping down all the sides. i grabbed a bunch of napkins knowing i was gonna need all of them. so g-mommys was just like mine. we went outside to eat them. we were just gonna stand by the car eat them real quick and then go back to the house. well. . . . we stood out there for who knows how long trying to eat these things. ice cream was dripping all down my left hand. i kept wiping it off with all those napkins, but it didnt help. after a while g-mommy decided we should go sit on the front of her car (b/c we were facing mcdonalds and the drive through line and she didnt want people to see us lookin crazy hahahaha). so she sat on the hood of the car as ice cream dripped all down her hand and onto her pants and shoes. not to mention that she had ice cream and chocolate all around her mouth and on her nose. IT WAS SO FUNNY! i was cracking up. . . but i wasnt just laughing at her i was laughing at myself too. because my ice cream was so far over the edges of the cone, after i had eaten a good bit off the top of the chocolate, the chocolate was sliding down the ice cream and cone towards my hand. so i slide it off the top and just held this big piece of hard chocolate in my right hand. so after just a couple of min.s my left hand was just about covered in ice cream and i had chocolate melting in my right hand. hahahaha. . . . we finally ate most of it at least down to where the wrapper is on the cone, then threw it away. there was ice cream all over our hands and the ground. lol. we had to go back into mcdonalds to wash our hands and face before we got into the car. we were laughing so hard! i was crying i was laughing so hard. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!

rambling

ok so i got this blog cause its late and i cant sleep. lol. so im just going to ramble.
So i'v been in college since 2005 and im tired of it. I started off as an education major at Darton college. i then changed to a special education major still at Darton. Then in 2007 i decided i didnt want to be a teacher. I could be a teacher and deal with it but if im going to do something for the rest of my life its going to be something i absolutely love doing. So i decided i was going to be photographer. My mom was totally supportive and thought it was an awesome idea. My dad however wasnt so sure. Its not that he didnt want me to be happy its just that he wants me to be able to support myself you know hav a steady pay check. See my father is a lawyer. A workaholic. He has a hard time understanding people that have jobs that arent laywer, doctor, nurse, teacher, policeman, fireman, etc. The top jobs that you were thaught about in school as a child pretty much. Even though he didnt understand my feelings to be a photographer instead of a teacher he went along with it, mainly cause he knew he didnt have a choice. You see its me and my older sister, yup two girls. So weve totally got him wrapped. lol. But anyways.... so i applied to SCAD-Atlanta and got in with no trouble. So we found a condo very close to where the school is and iv been here since january 2008. Its been pretty cool. Some of the teachers are really cool and then some are just a pain in the ass. So there ya go a myth put to rest, art school is just like other schools, still hard, still got homework, studying, papers, and test. I guess the main difference in art school and an acadimic school would be the people that attend the school. The minority groups i.e. the freaks, weirdos, and such are now the majority. Also there is a pretty large gay community in art schools. Iv got no problem with it but helping my friend find a man is becoming a challenge. lol. Iv got a boyfriend thank the Lord! I dont know how i would survive this crazynes of life for the past couple of years without him. Anyways ill be graduating Lord willing next year (2010). My degree will be a b.f.a. with my concentration being in photography. Im so ready to be done with all this school crap. But thats a whole nother story.
