Slowly, but not yet surely...

Seems I am having just such a hard time getting back into school and doing homework everynight, especially when some of my classes allow you to have such procrastination.

I feel like there is sooo much going on that I am involved in and stuff and then having to come home and do homework and sit and do nothing. these days there are countless distractions. Between the photo club, stout retail association, getting starting in campus ambassador program, working on campus, class, getting the photography business rolling, making friends and making time for them, also taking care of mySELF and trying to work out, eat healthy, and rest. all of this is quiiittee the handful I must say, I'm hoping by the end of the week I'll get with it. I just feel like most of my mornings, days, and evenings are occupied, then by the time I get home all I want to do is relax and NOT doing anything productive cause i've been runnin around all day.

I have been loving getting the photography stuff going, its just something I am so passionate about, I love taking the pictures, and I love editing, and I love even more is showing them to the people I took them for, I dont know what it is but I just love it, and I know I am going to be doing it for a very long time. I just need to get the right equipment.. i'm going to try and buy a new lens this week, before my FIRST WEDDING I'm shooting by myself on Saturday, but I also (hopefully) will have a couple more newborn sessions on its way as well which will help pay for my lens. then my pictures will get even better!

THe pickle I've been thinking about near everyday lately has been this: SO I am going to be working in store management at Kohl's, which is great and I love the job, but I wouldnt really be able to shoot weddings if I wanted, which I really want to be doing that.. becasue you book weddings months and months in advance.. and in stores you are working weekends on and off/every other so I would never know when I have to work months in advance in order to book weddings. blah.. i'll have to figure something out.

Other than that not much has changed.. had a GREATTT weekend with my girlfriends in Menomonie on Friday night that Aaron (my brothers) fiance's bachelorette party was saturday/saturday night which was SO much fun! I am so eager to welcome her to the family as my sister :) I met some guy that night and he asked me out on a date pretty much the following day (sunday). I said yeah at first cause I figured ohhh why  not, but then I canceled cause I'm a chicken butt.

Ready for Routine!

Hi derrr.

Man, this past week has been so craycraycrazzay! Since my internship has ended a couple weeks ago, and I haven't been working ((=broke)) I have been..feeding into the bar economy in Menomonie. Though, I have a few bottles at home I take advantage of when I can, but it always ends up at the bar. But hey, actually I have spent more money on FOOD than BAR though so thats good. I have just kind of been taking full advantage or the no school, no work, no boyfriend, and no responsiblity-life the past weeek and its been fab! Though I know thats not near reality, its been nice playing for the time being. Its been great meeting new people, I haven't exactly exchanged numbers but I've talked to and met so many random people this past week in Menom so thats always fun :) I've also been out with Miss Andi Bear a few times! A friend for..say 16 years? since kindergarden? we lost touch for a few years but thats natural, its been good catching up though, deff some good laughs! I've also been out with Tyler a few times, lots of good times with this kid! Super nice! And then Laura who it was great to catch up with the other night after a long summer! She's doing really well and is back in school so i'm excited for her!! Here are some pictures from the past week of craziness!!

On that note, school starts in less than a week. Kinda starts Monday for me because thats when my responsibilites start. But I am ready to get back into the swing of things, get a good routine in, get back to functioning properly. It may take a week or so to catch up! But then I can finally get a nice workout/run regimin in place so I can shed those LB's that have been stuck on me for the past year+, that will be nice and only contribute to my happiness!

This semester I am taking..
Target Marketing
Merchandise Planning & Control
>Modern US History (Online)
Organizational Leadership
Elementary Statistics (Online)

So thats 15 credits. My monday is my only long day with class all day, then tuesday-thursday I have one class a day, and friday no class!!! I dont think I've ever had Fridays off! Maybeee at Kirkwood but i dont think so. Though.. I do have to work 12-2 on Fridays but thats not bad, I kinda maybe sorta requested NOT to work in the AM Friday so I could potentially maybe sorta participate in some THirsTay ThuRsDaY Action. Thats not too bad is it? hehe.


So this weekend.. I am going home to Woodbury in a few hours to get some erronds and shtuff..I'm hoping to go to the fair..but I am kinda sorta broke so I'm not sure thatd be to smart to spent the last dolla dolla bills on food on a stick.
Then Saturday I have an alterations appointment at Davids Bridal at 10am which I'm hoping goes well.. I really wanna shed the LB's before the wedding, but i have a month to do it which is plenty of time..but then if i lose weight the alterations may need to be re-did which is 1.) stressful (maybe) and 2.) costly.
After the Appointment I am actaully shadowing a photographer at a wedding from 12:30-7:30. She's been really great the past week or two with kinda steppin in as a mentor, I did a session with her and her babygirl not only so she could get their pictures done but for practice and to help me with questions and stuff while i'm shooting, it was fun and insightful. She certainly inspires me to be a better photographer and keep following this little passion of mine.

After the wedding I am coming back to Menomonie to spend time and money with friends :) its move in weekend so everybody a lot more people will be back at stout and I can only imagine how boring crazy it will be! Same with Sunday, Sunday is officially Freshman move in day= most students drink outside all day for some sunday funday!

Anywho, enough of my really interesting rambling talk. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!!! Stay Safe!

And like RiRi says, "Dont let the bastards get you down, turn it around with another round, theres a party at the bar everybody putcha glasses up and drink to that"

Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life <3
