scrutiny, exuberance, and blue bell ice cream

Today, I thought, was going to be a tough day because I had a portfolio review with a couple of professors. From the others that I had talked to that had gone before me it was a pretty tough meeting. Many came out pretty upset with hurt feelings. I was very scared to go into this meeting. I went in bracing myself and expecting the worst. By the grace of God it ended up being an excellent meeting. I got a lot of good feedback from the professors and they had some encouraging words for me.

Over the last few months I have been discouraged with my photography. I think it is a combination of the stress of my job and the constant desire to do my absolute best. I never allowed myself any room for mistakes....and that's not good. I was getting to the point that when I looked at my portfolio I didn't feel confident. But the meeting today made me feel much better and encouraged me greatly.

Other than that my day was pretty normal. Classes, newspaper, etc. Blake and I went and got some ice cream from the food court on campus. I was so excited because they had pints of Blue Bell Banana Pudding. That is probably my all time favorite ice cream and it is just one of those things in life that make you feel so good inside.

My spring break begins tomorrow and I am soooo happy it has finally arrived. It won't be too long and this school year will be over. It's been a tough year. I am glad to see the end near. At times it's hard to believe I only have one year left, then at other times it still feels so far away. Anyways...it's off to bed I go.
