Life thus far...

Well, I got accepted to graduate school. I can now say that with a piece of paper in hand, well, figuratively. I will hopefully take a grad class this summer. I'm really looking forward to getting on with life now.

Hopefully things will work out the way I would like, but I'm not going to freak out if they don't. If I get my wish, I will go to Europe for a while next summer and maybe be able to use that time for graduate credit. It's a long way away, but I'm confident it would go well and give me somem really great ideas for photography and art.

For now, I guess that's it.

Finals are coming up and I have a massive amount of pain in my ears, and yeah... it sucks. I just want it to stop so I can work again and turn my head the correct way.

I'll post some photos of my work later on, when I feel more like a human...

Well, today has been a slight bust. I didn't go to my German conversation quiz, but I'm going to just reschedule it. Hopefully my teacher won't mind... My head feels like death and I'm doing my best to be active but it's not working.

I've narrowed my idea for my final photo project down. I think it'll be interesting, now I just have to go through the photos that I took this last week, not nearly enough probably, and get to work on them. If it works, I will either call it 'Story of a House' or 'We Will All Be Ghosts'... I kind of like the second title more, I think it's kind of... well, morbid, but it's me, of course it's morbid. Not in a sad way though, more meditative and reflective I suppose.

The photos I took that stood out the most were some photos of beds at the house... I thought about trying to do a series of those, just beds, in natural light, with lots of shadow, but I'm not sure if I have access to enough places to warrant 20 of those... buh. No biggie though, there are lots of different shots to work with, so I'll keep plugging away and do some editing tonight during class where I can have some distance from home and the internet and things that pull my focus away.

Buh... I'm tired... before long I suppose I should actually get out of bed, but I have potted some plants today and spent time with Mr. Bear, and also transcribed an interview my friend Holger did with Jon Oliva. It was a really nice interview. I feel kind of bad skipping out on his band at Progpower, but eh, it happens. I don't regret leaving though, for so many reasons...

It's going to rain, my bones are letting me know in advance... PEH.

buh.

Spring break is over, and I'm guessing I have accomplished something. If nothing else, I was able to do some reading and take a bit of a break from the horrible terrible internet. Yeehaw.

I'm back in KC now, being quiet and trying to take an inventory of what I need to do today.


Unfortunately change my name and move to a new place where no one can bother me isn't available, which is really sad because right now people just make me angry and frustrated... It's no big deal though, really. It will pass.

Marek's happy I'm home, and I have photos to edit later and see if i need any more. I probably will, I just will have to find an interior I can shoot at without a lot of people around... but that's really about all I feel like saying today.
