i will never get a job that i want and love.
i will never be the size i used to be.
i will never have nice skin.
i will never move out of my house.
i will never be in a normal, two-way relationship.
i will never get married.
it seems this is my life. i guess i have to start dealing with it..... |

school started again this past monday. i have a crazy schedule and i'm going to be beyond tired this semester. class every morning, and tuesday afternoon. digital imaging, professional photo, photojournalism, theory of light/portraiture, accounting, lab.
my first assignments include a basic photojournalism set, random pics of strangers and stuff, a study of light and shade, and a self-portrait (which i think will be impossible for me).
i'm a bit sad that brad renfro died. especially from drugs/alcohol. not as upset as i was when jonathan brandis died, but it's still sad.
also, there's a mouse/mice in the apartment building, and one found his way into our kitchen. |

| my first job on my own. |
[Dec. 15th, 2007|10:34 pm] |
all the jobs i've had so far while at school were through tom, and i would work them with him, but not actually taking pictures.
the other week a woman in angela's class, ana, asked her to take pics at her neighbors christmas party. ang asked me to do it with her because she knows i'm poor.
tonight i pull up to this huge mansion in my crappy pontiac, valet wisks it away to who knows where. the house on its own looks like a museum, but tonight it was decked out with three christmas trees and massive amounts of decorations. woman were walking around with fancy finger foods, i had the most delicious pinwheel thing ever.
all the women were wearing insane gowns, and all the guys had tuxedos. ang and i mostly stayed in one lounge room ushering people in to take their picture in front of one of the trees. we were definitely surprised by how nice everybody was. they would go out of their way to come talk to us, and didn't look down at us at all.
easiest job ever. we were there from 7-10, and the husband handed us $150 to split.
hopefully since we now have an in with lots of people, they will remember how much they liked us and ask us back for more extravagant events with awesome food, fancy clothes, and full orchestral band. |

school has been kicking our butts lately. assignments keep being handed out, and assignments need to be reshot. all this stress was getting to us. so michael made plans to skate with uncle jason, and this past weekend michael, amy, angela, and i went to the shore and stayed at the condo. kevin decided to come that night, also, rather than wait until the next morning. lynnie and her friend sean(?) met up with us sunday after we came back from the skatepark, where we all took some pics before us girls were kicked out for not wearing helmets.
when the guys came back from a second park, we all went out to pizza hut for dinner, then michael, amy, angela, kevin, and i went to the beach to walk around and take some more pictures. while we were all down there, all we could think about was the summer, and spending whole weeks at the condo just lounging around on the water.

| irish boxer photos! |
[Sep. 30th, 2007|08:34 pm] |
when i last wrote about not seeing the boxers again until sunday, that turned out to be a lie. tom called us up thursday night and we all went to a bar somewhere in philly for karaoke. it was absolutely hilarious watching these irish guys belt out songs i've never even heard that they all knew the lyrics to. and watching them dance was a sight to behold. ryan wouldn't leave angela alone, ben was awesome, jim kept trying to get me to dance, and i tried, but it just wasn't happening. then during "just a gigolo/ain't got nobody", damien grabbed me and was beyond drunk. i couldn't follow his steps or predict what he was doing. at one point i thought he walked away, so i turned around to leave the dancefloor and it turns out he just was spinning around me before twirling me again. we got home around 12:30.
today we went to another hidden bar in a crappy creepy part of the city to hang out with the guys. we ate food, joked around, and played table shuffleboard. usually when we all were getting ready to leave for the night, the guys gathered us around for more group photos and hugged us all. but today, i guess because it was the afternoon, they just kind of said see ya and waved. i think they thought we were meeting up with them again at the wine festival they were going to, but we weren't invited to that one. it was kind of sad that we didn't get a proper farewell, and exchange emails and things, because we knew they wanted to. we still have seamus's email though, he's one of the coaches.

| irish boys. |

this week has been crazy and awesome all at the same time.
tuesday tom told us to let him know by the end of the day if we wanted to go to a boxing match. of course, we said "sure why not." later when we were back at home he called us and said "get ready, we're going to meet the irish boxing team."
we all go to a pub in philly for a dinner with 10 adorable irish boys 15-19 who made me slightly uncomfortable by staring at me while i was trying to eat my food. then when tom introduced us to them they all wanted to take pictures with us. awkward. then joe frazier showed up, the boxer who took out muhammed ali. all these crazy asian thugs were freakin out when he left the pub. weird.
as if that wasn't awesome enough, tom had us ask our teachers if it was alright that we miss our first class the next morning, and we all went back to philly. this time it was the art museum steps and the rocky statue. we all had fun goofing around with those guys there, then splashing through the fountain at the top of the steps.
thursday night was the boxing match, irish fight night. i didn't think it was something i would enjoy, but i did. maybe because i knew the guys fighting and we were all rooting and shouting for them. the irish guys won 7 out of 10 fights. the last match was with the largest fighter, 6'2". we thought he was all tired out near the end, but he comes out of nowhere and completely knocks the other guy out. it was pretty insane. right after, he looked over at us and smiled and winked. i guess he was trying to show off.
after the fight we went to some irish vfw type place, really small with a bar and a few tables. we hung out with them there until around 12, taking more group pictures.
they don't leave for ireland until monday, so hopefully they can come to campus philly kickoff with us saturday, which would be really fun. if not, we're going to see them again sunday before they leave.
there are so many things that i've already done in the few weeks i've been here that i never thought i would even have the opportunity to do. it's all thanks to tom, really. whenever an event comes up, we're the first ones he calls to come with him. i'm very grateful that he isn't a creeper either. he's taking me to a cbs golf tournament monday to help out, and i'm getting paid. grocery money right there.
after the weekend i'll have to post some pics of my adventures.
p.s. a guy came up to us at the fight about possibly buying our pictures from the night for philly papers! |

i finally got my computer in the mail thursday, and i love it. it's huge and pretty and awesome.
school is fabulous. it's only the third week and i've learned soooo much already. i have a few friends, and a few people that i can't stand, but i'm not letting them get to me or affect my work. this three day class schedule is great, and gives me plenty of time to plan out assignments and execute them.
i saw on bravo they are one by one revealing the designers for the next project runway, and i'm very excited. |
