changes happening

Well as you can see I have changed both the name of my blogger site and my url. I was not using this blog for what I had intended to use it for. I never felt like I had a lot of info to add about the adoption so I decided to create a blog that is for me to just share my thoughts and experiences on. My mom and sister do a much better job on updating about the adoption than I do!

To begin....
I can't promise that I will post every day, but I want to try harder than I did before. I think it's good to keep an online sort of journal if your experiences so I want to try better. Some days I know will be more eventful than others, but I will still try and post about my day.

Today was a pretty normal day. Went to classes, worked on our student newspaper that I am the chief photographer of and other normal things in my daily routine. I did get to tour the central plant of our campus today in order to take pictures for an energy project that our newspaper staff is working on. We are looking at publishing it on March 28. I am a wee stressed because I am trying desperately to get photos of "energy" things. Such as wind mills, oil rings, solar panels and on-campus energy departments. Let's just say I am more than ready for for this project to be done with.

Next week is spring break and I am going to try and not think about anything that has to do with school or newspaper. I'd really like to go to the beach. Something about the beach just sounds so nice, relaxing and so far away from everything in Abilene!

On Thursday this week I have a "portfolio review" for my photojournalism class and I am quite scared. I have talked to a few others that have gone through it already and they said it was tough. They got a lot of criticisms and very little positive feedback. I did get to go this past Sunday to the historic village of Buffalo Gap, which is only like 20 minutes from here and photograph a historic baseball team that they have. They play almost every weekend and they try to recreate baseball as it was in 1860ish. It was really a lot of fun. I don't always enjoy all of my assignments, but this was a fun one. I am using it as a photo story for me class. I will have to add it as a slide show on here when I am feeling less lazy and more up to it.

Anyways....I better sign off, but I will try my best to be better at posting on this thing. Adieu!
