Weekend Mayhem (:

This weekend was probably thee busiest weekend of my LIFE! Naw... (:
But lets go thru everything that has gone on in the last few days that may or may not have interest to anyone shall we (:
Well on Friday after we got out of school, life was pretty much normal, waited for my little sister to get out of Track then when she was done with that got her and my other sister drove home and did homework.
Waited for the parents to return home later that night and we talked a little with the chit chat thru the day and discussed things like normal.
Then the parents went to go see a movie (jealous!) and we stayed home and I pretty much talked on the phone all night debating whether or not I should draw something for Art Fair that is coming up soon things where supposed to be in last friday but I sorta kinda got an extension.. not really I'm just procrastinating. ooo I spelled that right!!
After the long night of talking on the phone and messing around with my mom's friend's camera stuff she let me borrow I finally went to bed around well late.
Saturday morning got up early because I had my ... ADOPTION SHOWER! woo yah that's right if anyone knows me, I am adopted 2009, 12, 23.
(:
Best day EVA.
My family and I met up with a bunch of girls and friends of my mom as well as some of the family. Got great gifts! Yoga classes, spa packages gardening tools (: mmm!
Excitingggggggg!!
After that we all went out to a late lunch @ On the Boarded sooo good! I had thing one stuff not sure what it was but it looked like potstickers. But they were DELIC!
After that we went home and my sister and I packed up for an epic night out at our Best Friends house.
We got there late afternoon and watched movies all night including.....AVATAR!!! Boo yah I know you're jealous!
Then after all the fun and mayhem from that night we all went to bed, and got up a little later then I intended.
I had to get rushing I had a big day planned for my sunday.
I was meeting my boyfriends grandparents while going to his Choir Concert which was absolutely amazing!! <3
Loved it! Then we went out for dinner at Apple Bee's which was very delicious! I had a Salad and barely made a dint in it before i felt like I was going to explode!
Our waiter was quiet funny! Hope he got a good tip ;)
After all the family fun @ AB we went back to his house and we all chilled out and watched movies but I made my mister go down stairs so I could take pictures. And I got some really amazing ones! I can't wait to put em on some printing paper!
Well that was my weekend (:
Hope yours was just as good!

Art, school, power (;

Hoot!! Hoot!!
Sooo guess what my fellow bloggers! One of my moms closest friends has a photography hobby and she is lending me her camera, and everything that goes with it. 
There are different lenses, filters, and everything more! 
I will be messing around with that for a good many reason hah.
thee most important ones right now are that I have to start practicing for the prom photos i will be taking as well as the yearbook photos.
(need to get on it!)
and the other reason is that i have to have some art fair stuff in for monday and i have nothing i want to send in right now.
so my weekend is pretty full right now, so much fun and so much work, but i enjoy the things i work on.
Photography, Art (:
Ugh love it so much. 
I am a pretty creative person. I love to draw little fun lines. They never really connect but they most of the time come out really pretty. 
When I do draw I can not always draw from my head I'm not that good, I don't practice my drawings. 
So when I want to draw something I usually find a google image and start drawing from what I see. I don't trace it. But I don't come with most of my ideas.
I have drawn 2 people's tattoo's and I plan on doing more. Including my own when I am old enough. 
(:
I enjoy drawing it helps me relive stress just like working out does as well, yeah I'm a pretty healthy person. 
But meh... I like to lay on the couch just as much as the next guy.
(: 
A good sleep in every once in a while is needed for my cluttered and busy brain. Sometimes I just want to flush everything out and be blank. Who wants that!?! 
I like to talk as well, as I am sure you can see. (:
I babble.
Well to stop boring all of you readers I will head on out. School is almost out, don't worry about me getting in trouble for blogging during school, its a requirement believe it or not. (: 
hehe. 
I'll go tho!! 
Have a great day and PS look at the person next to you or object and smile. (:
Did you do it???
i hope so..
Because now I feel powerful hehe 

I love to learn (:

Who woulda thunk!?!?!
I just thought about this today, with the changes that we have made here @ van meter we have made education a lot more interesting! I can learn so much more and so much quicker, if I don't understand something in a class I can easily contact the teacher and have them explain to me better or use a different search engine and learn it a way I think might be easier!
It's really unbelievable!
I sit here and I think, there is this amazing world .. and it's right at my finger tips. I have job opportunities, connection opportunities, learning opportunities.
Everything more!
It's amazing once you think about it, people or different educators may not think about how much it would change or how it would help, but it's amazing. It really is.
No one can experience it the same as we can of course. They may get the 2 hour tour of our school and how we function in this small school.
They will never understand how it may have changed many people's views on education, some kids that may not enjoy learning, such as I last year, enjoy learning so much more!
I never thought I would say I love learning.
I have made this huge incline in my education that I love it and I want more and more!
That's all I have to say!
Have a great day!

Yearbook Photographer?!?!

Okay, if my friends know me as much as they say they do, they don't see me in the lunch room very often I am usually hiding up in the library because I like to chat with my bestie about how the day is going and then finish up a homework assignment i generally don't do @ home. 
I don't know something about it just doesn't seem right. haha! (Jay Kay) 
But this week their is testing this week so the library is sometime closed. 
Today it was closed ):
So I had to go to lunch in the lunch room.. ick. haha 
But I came down on my favorite day! So my day was getting good! I think it might have been fate how I went down to the lunch room. Becauseeeeee
If any of you know I have been invited to go to prom and take pictures! And I sent out a mass email to all of the Prom goers to see if anyone wanted me to come with them to get pictures of the before the prom process. 
And yes some replied! Still no information thooooo. 
But anyways a women who does the yearbook photos saw that I sent that email and asked if I was interested in joining the yearbook committee!! 
I was so excited!! And I said YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Haha So thru this year 2010! I will go out and take pictures! It's a good thing I have pictures from homecoming as well! Those will look quite beautiful in the yearbook. This year was a major win if anyone keeps track of our Football team. Woot!! SO INTENSE! I was there because I am a cheerleader! hehe. 
GOOOOOOOOOO BULLDOGSS!!!

For today...

Holy cow.
Well I haven't had time to go out and mess around with my camera quite yet! Prom is getting closer and I am running out of time! So I suppose I better get to it. I am looking forward to the photographer who might be coming to my school and helping me learn a little more about my flash, it's greatly needed! I don't quite understand how to use it yet.
I have not found any good websites that give me great advice but I am probably not looking hard enough. I am sure there are amazing websites I am missing.
I am still making more and more connections thru twitter but none that really are uhm.. talkative. I probably should pursue that assumption but scared too! I probably should not be scared since the career field I desire so strongly to go into is quite the social activity and requires me to be uh, talkative. I can do that!
Haha!
Well this is short but I am sure there will be more where this came from!
Enjoy your day!

NO SHOES to RAISE AWARENESS! 1 for 1

Today tomshoes.com is raising awareness about children that don't have shoes. It's sad to think about but it's all over the world and worse in other parts!
Facing reality is sort of a hard thing to do these days, business people most of the time caught in their work trying to make a living, and others are trying to make a living finding work.
Its a continuous cycle that not a lot of people try to stop.
I want to help make a difference.
Today I am taking my shoes off in every class! May not be allowed to but I do it! Just a few minutes can make you see that without shoes you're a little "germed" out.
Think... take a moment and think..
A child .. no.. HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of CHILDREN!  Go without shoes every single day, 24/7 365 days a year.
How would you feel if that was you? Bet you would make some changes.
Your life would be totally different.
Now go ahead and join the hundreds of people around the world who are taking a few moments out of the day and throw your shoes in the corner.
Visit tomshoes.com
or

(:
Possibly buy a pair of shoes?
When you buy a pair A CHILD gets a pair.
1 for 1.
Make a difference... change a life.

Set and Noticed.

Woot woot the season has fallen upon us! Yes, it's true its the formal season Juniors and Seniors look toward around spring time! It's PROM!
Dresses are being sold, and Tux's are being rented! Men are asking the women and planning a nice little evening before and after!
Juniors and Seniors wait for this time to come since their sophomore year when they all get together and start to plan the amazing night to remember forever. And that's exactly what their goal is. They want Seniors to remember their last big event before the big DIPLOMA! They want to be telling their kids and their grand kids about the night they will look forward to some night. (;
Well as I have said many manyyyy times. I love taking pictures and I plan on pursuing it as a career. Many people are learning the beauty of it, so it's getting harder to find a good spot in it all. I want to find my place and prove myself!
I don't want to just be stuck as a formal photographer, planning everything on weekends and holidays. I want to also expand my range to business photography, landscape, advertising, senior pictures, as well as holidays, and weddings.
I want that so bad. My life goal is to be set and noticed.
I want people to recommend me to their friends, family, co-workers, and strangers on the street. Anyone who wants to know me, I want to know you.
No doubt about it.
I would love to get to know you, and if you want to take the time you can get to know me and what I do.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!
To my main detail why I wrote this blog
was to sayyyyy....
I GET TO GO TAKE PICTURES AT PROM!
I have talked with the prom teachers and planners and I get to go and take pictures for the prom event of 2010!
As long as parents and others are comfortable with it.
It's an amazing opportunity, and I can't wait for it! First HUGE event for me. SO I need lots and lots of practice!
These next few weeks will be crucial to my getting more information and experience. I am setting a personal goal RIGHT NOW!
1) Blog every day, tell you all how its going in the crazy loony life I love.
2) Take a new picture every day! Post it
3) This one is for my readers. I want you to comment and tell me what you think should be done.
