My life? I feel like writing a journal entry. I left CVA after one semester because I'm stubborn and I had some pretty lame teachers. It was a very expensive mistake. This means that I'm now going to the cheapest school in the state! Anoka-Ramsey Community College is great for me right now. It allows me to take whatever classes I feel like taking when I'm available to take them. This semester, I'm taking Ceramics I, Photo I, Drawing I(again..), and General Sociology. It's a very easy semester. I'm considering going into the nursing program at AR. It would basically guarantee me a job once I graduate and it's more of a practical route than photography, but I don't know if I can put my dreams aside for practicality. I wish I could go to the future, ask myself what decision I'd made, and if I'm happy with that decision. That would make this time in my life a hell of a lot easier.

I'm still with Dylan and things are going great. We are more in love than we've ever been and are starting to make plans for the future. Lately, we've been seeing eachother a little less than I would like because of all the studio time and work I have to put in, and Dylan's getting some temp jobs which ties up his mornings. It's a bit easier becuase, in December, his mom decided to rent out the house right next to mine! My boyfriend is my neighbor! Dylan is thinking about going to AR as well(I've been pushing him). He likes the idea of taking music classes, and starting to think seriously about the future.

The only photos I've been taking are for my Photo I class. My life is sort of gray at the moment and has been for a few months. I'm constantly in a blah mood. I get so caught up in working 26 hours a week and school and studio time, that when I have a few hours of no responsibility, I feel kind of bored with my life. There's so many things that I want that can't or shouldn't happen for another 10-15 years. It doesn't help that I'm completely(I mean $0) broke. I only just got my job at Hancock Fabrics after being unemployed for 2 1/2 months. I get my first paycheck this saturday which will only be about $60. I hate having money problems and I hate asking my parents for money.

Well, I'm in a transitional part of my life that will last a few years. I just don't want to look back and think about all the time I wasted. I just need to develop a short-term goal and feel great when I achieve it! I just hate waiting for satisfaction.
