This year is going too fast. I have been trying to grab every moment I possible can but it seems the more I try the fast time moves and slips on by.
Sadly I found out I am not going to be able to go to my next couple Jazz Band competitions but I have to study to get there. So thats my goal is to get the grades up and do what I want (:
I just joined track so I have practice every day after school. So my goal for the end of the year is Be fit, Be Smart.
I will be studying a lot so I probably wont be on my blog very much or be able to update it.
1) Grade
2) I AM AT CAPACITY WITH MY FLICKR ACCOUNT!!!!!!
):
Makes me sad to say it. I can not upload anymore pictures for now.
If anyone, uh anyone is even reading this go to my flickr account and comment!! (: please?

Radom Weekend!
Its the weekend! Can I get an AMEN!!! I am sitting at home but I got up early this morning so I could clean! It needed to be done!!! So the house looks good, I feel great, I'm heading to my best friends house, and tomorrow is Valentine's Day! This weekend is a great great great weekend!! I can't wait to blog some more about what happened this weekend I plan on taking a ton of pictures! Of what I never know!!!
If anyone, IF anyone is reading this and wants to see a picture of something ask me to take a picture! I would love to! I need someone to test me! So if anyone, anyoneeeeee, would email me that would be great I would be more that happy to do it!!!!!
But yes this weekend is going so well! I got news today from my mother that I qualify for a College Subsidy! That means some of my college is paid for!!!!! For you people that don't know I am adopted as of 12/ 23/ 2009.
The Best day of my life I might blog about that next. I want to share a little bit of my story with the world. Maybe then I might get some readers. Bahaha, no.
College!! AHH!!!! It's only a couple of years away!!!! It's pretty scary when I think about it. I like to think about the future a lot but I try and live in the moment as much as I possibly can!! I enjoy being a kid! I'm going to miss it!
Thinking about it makes me get butterflies in my tummy! But I am also very excited for the experience. I want to go to either Grandview College in Des Moines, Iowa. Or Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. My mother went to ISU. ( And when I say Mother/ Father I want all my readers to know I am talking about my adoptive parents I will say Biological Parents when I mean them.)
I look at ISU and I think a tradition in the generation maybe? I love the school, the colors, the spirit!! I want to be able to go to the Football games and be one of those crazy fans you see on TV screaming and yelling for our team to win and score the winning goal!
Grandview, when I think about it I think more of quiet place that you spend more time studying then going around shouting for your school and showing your pride and enthusiasm. Whichhhh is probably not too good for me. I like to be loud and noticed for being spazie and hilariously comical! I love laughing and making people laugh and help people.
I love to help. I came from a home that was not the best and I don't want others to suffer. I hate the thought of it. My goal is to help in some way. Big or small. Any ideas????
I would love some.
I'm off to go take some pictures.
Thanks for reading!
Happy Weekend!!

Connections!!!
Hey! I am so excited to blog about this, in the last 2 days I have gotten more and more followers on Twitter! And most of them are all about photography! And a few of them I didn't find them, they found me!!!
I am so excited about this! It makes me super happy to see that I am being connected with so many different people around the world! That's right AROUND THE WORLD!!
It's so crazy!! I hope to be able to become closer with the people that I follow. So that they can help me advance in photography. Teach me some new things I can do with my camera and different effects I can use.
I just can't express how excited I am! I have gotten a couple of emails from the followers telling me to check out some of the tutorials that they set out, or look at photography websites! I learn a lot from them too!! Such as lighting! One of the most important if not thee most important element of photography!
One of my favorite sites I have been recommended is Photofizz.com it's so fun and exciting to look at and they give you photo challenges for the week! I have been trying to take these challenges. And they also recommend other photography sites and how you can get your photo's noticed and shown!
I love love love it!!!
I hope to get more and more followers soon! Who will keep connected and help me with my journey on the photography quest!
Thanks for reading!

Pursuing my Photography Purpose
I am new at learning everything with photography and I want to learn so much more! I want to find some people willing to help with that. So if anyone is reading this blog and knows anyone who could help, or know's someone who know's someone, it would be much appreciated! It could even be someone's grandma! -No offenseee!!-
I just want to take the time now to learn as much as I can, like I have said.
But other then learning, I am now taking the time to be with my family more and have the priceless memories. I sometimes wish I had a camera on me 24/7 so I can capture the little moments but they would build up faster then you think! Well I am sure you know.
Haha.
I love my family I would do anything for them. If any of you don't know I am adopted and I am 16 I was adopted in December of 2009. Best day or gift I could have ever gotten! I have come from a back round full of events! And I'll save any of those stories for a book or something!
But through these memories I have gained many hobbies. To keep my mind off of things I would draw or read. So now at my young age I love to draw, read, take pictures, and keep fit! I draw things that I can physically see. I am not too good at drawing things out of mind. Which is kind of hard but when I do they turn out pretty good. I am not an artist but I am decent at it. I have drawn 2 different tattoo's and have been told I should pursue this as a career, but that's not what I want to do. I want to I want to be a photographer as many should know. I love love love!!! To take pictures. :) It's something I do very well.
I am currently with my family after spending the day at a Jazz Festival. Which was fun and I got to see one of my good old friends. I also play in band and sing in Chorus. I enjoy them both by Jazz Band is slowly killing me with having to get up at 5:30 in the morning to be ready to get there at 7! Haha.
Sometimes I dread moving out of my bed but other times I wish I had come earlier. Even though the practices may be long and dreadful it's all fun when our group goes out to perform for other people! We may have heard the song over and over again but they haven't and they love to listen to it! No matter what they say! Bahaha!!
Other than all the things I like to do and want to do I am a pretty normal kid. I love hanging out with my friends and going out to go to crazy stuff like climb a tree or spin too fast on the mary-go-round or how ever you spell it.
I may be a teenager but I'm still a kid and I want to enjoy it while I can. I also enjoy playing some xbox and ps2 they pretty much rock! I love video games! And I love going to go see movies! When a new movies comes out I always want to go see it! Movies, music, family, and Photography pretty much sums up my life!
Well it is currently family time here in the Skog's House. So I better get a move on it!
I'll post as much as I can!

So MUCH New!!
This is year is a crazy year! Especially since I am exploring the possibilities of new opportunities thru the internet. This is year in my school which is Van Meter. We have been selected we are one of 2 school's in the world to have a 1 to 1 laptop system. We all 7-12 have MacBook's and we use them every day all day. The classes are some how built with an online system. Some teachers have wiki's and other's have different websites. But guaranteed every teacher has an online source; so even if you weren't at school, you can get your assignment online! If you really needed t connect with a teacher and your outside of the school area you can talk to them anytime!
Even if your out of state or out of country as long as you have internet access you have 100% access to get your needed information! It's so crazy! I am glad to have this learning tool and experience. I am able to do so much more now that we have these computers. I am able to take notes and not worry about where I left them or my assignments getting lost. It's all on my computer somewhere.
Sure computers might have their glitches, but they are still a helpful tool to use and one of the best tools to use. One of the most organized tools and systems you can have these days.
I am now using Twitter to get to know new people who might be able to help with my career path with Photography. And I do hope that this happens and that I get to meet lot's of new people and learn ton's of new things! I am excited about this idea, do to the things I can learn would probably be of great help for me because of a couple reasons; 1) I can learn information before I go to college and be able to go in it with some skills and be able to learn different things much more faster and not have to dwell on the things I don't know. And If I go into the course with skills then when I learn new skills I can be able to take the new skills I'll learn then take the time to be able to learn them and make sure I'm doing them right.
2) And so I can have some more skills to be able to keep learning now. And so when I take pictures for people now that they can be more satisfied or impressed.
Being able to blog and be able to tweet with new people and learn new things about everyone is quite the crazy mixture. I hope to be able to continue this for as long as I can! Things like this amaze me at how somethings work these days. Imagine five years ago when people were just discovering Cell Phones to what we have now. Can you imagine what it will be like in 10 years? I sure can't.
And I hope one day I will look back on everything from now a days and tell stories about what we thought was cool and what is cool then. I am sure there will be dramatic changes. And I am here to embrace it and learn everything I can to keep up to date.
I hope this blog was of interest!
