WATCHING ZOMBIELAND!!! I feel like it is so super good!

Wire sculptures have been owning my butt this week. I will post some pictures of them now. And that is really all I have to say.

Please don't judge me.





I know. I know. "If I call myself a blogger...then you are an ostrich." Quote provided by my friend Tiara. I swear I have a good reason.

School started as you know. My entire life has been owned by tape shoes and still life drawings. What a life. I haven't taken a picture of the shoe yet but I will definitely post one next time. The pictures I am posting now have to do with our next project in 3D design. It is a wire project where I'll be making a wire form based on the slow exposure pictures I took. I'm kind of really excited about it. I feel like I'm going to fail my regular classes because of these art classes though. I'm nervous. I have a history quiz tomorrow and I haven't read at all this semester for it. AHHH! My drawing class just keeps popping out little drawing projects out of its friggin but.

My apartment life at the moment is quite hectic. I'm supposed to move out of my apartment right now and move into my new apartment March 1st, which still might happen. But...there is also a chance that I will be moving in with my friends. I just need to friggin get this stuff figured out.

In other news, I really like the girl from MY LIFE AS LIZ. She has a good voice! At least I hope that was her singing voice on the tv and not a fake one. But even if it wasn't, she is still very fun for me to look at.

Blah blah blah...school




This was my first day of school outfit. Unfortunately, the attire will probably not be this put together from now on. The best part about it is definitely my oxford shoes.

Okay guys. The day has come. I have officially started school. Ew. I know. I am so stressed out. With the gross mixture of anthropology and art classes I feel like I might be a little overwhelmed. I'm mostly excited about my drawing class right now. Hopefully, I won't be the worst one in that class. I mean, I doubt I will be but its a natural fear in art class. OH AND! We are drawing friggin nudes this semester!!! I feel like a middle schooler right now. It is going to take every ounce of maturity in my body not to giggle when the robe slips off. I'm not excited about my design class, just frightened. My first assignment is to make an entire shoe out of masking tape...yeah kill me. Except it might not even be a problem because that class might get cancelled...we will see. THe other classes I'm really excited about are archaeological science and general anthropology. It is a lot of reading but I just love the content. It is so so so interesting. I did, however, find out that Anthropology can probably never go beyond a hobby. I talked to an Anthropology major today and they listed some jobs that you can get with the degree and I was not interested in any of them.

OH and I guess the internship with Tom Hussey is officially over. I'm going to go a different direction I think. I'm going to try and get an internship at my church in the media department. We will see how it goes.

Shine on Through





Hello children. Guess what. The heat is back. You what that means? It means that I will no longer like anything that I am wearing. I know that's super negative of me but it is just true. I hate wearing just t shirts and jeans because thats so boring and not flattering. I will dearly miss all the layering that I have been so accustomed to. THere is one good thing about summer and the sun...MY CLUBMASTURRRRR RAY BANS! I love them so much. They are sported in these pics.

N E WAYZ. This post depicts an outfit that is not too much different than my previous one. Sorry. I just couldn't think of anything else to wear. ANd that wasn't really the reason this post either. I really just wanted to take pictures in my new apartment, which I haven't done until right now.

I start school tomorrow. At a brand new college. Not excited in any way. I have never really enjoyed breaks this much until college. I am perfectly content with not doing anything school related. I was totally revitalized this break in my photography. I'm glad I am finally stable enough in my mind to take pictures everyday. I feel so good about it.

Oh AND...I really love blogging you guys. And I really like seeing that people actually stop by to read my blog. Thanks to everyone who comments...it makes my day for real.

Fist Pumping?.....





We just finished putting in the wood floors in my dad's new office. I took the opportunity to take some pictures before we put the furniture in. I have found a new word thanks to my friend T Babyy that my personal style can be described as "hungry". Haha. All my friends tell me I dress like a homeless person but I like the word hungry more. So yeah. That's me.

I have decided that I completely hate the show, Jersey Shore. I just can't stand it. They are so crazy!

I wish I had something interesting to say.

My internship won't email me back. Its really starting to get to me. I don't know how you can tell me that I am hired and then pretend that I'm not emailing you everyday. Seriously. It's messed up. I have such horrible luck with internships. This is exactly what happened when I tried to intern at my church. I get promised things and then those people never follow through. I mean I changed my entire schedule so that I could be there all day on Fridays. It is just frustrating.

Next week I'm going with my friend who has a clothing line, to the Dallas market. I'm so friggin excited. I just want to be completely submerged in the world of fashion. That's really corny sounding but I do. It is one of the things that really really interests me. So it should be really fun.

And I just got on blog lovin'

Hmmmmm





You know what today is? Just one big DISAPPOINTMENT!

I really wanted to take pictures in the room upstairs that is getting wood floors but like everything else today, that goal failed miserably.

Anyway, all day I was trying to get inspired by something...anything. I looked at clothes, art, and everybody's blogs. All the blogs were awesome as usual...but I just couldn't think of anything creative for me to do. I wanted to wear some cool clothes today and take pictures but I winded up wearing what I always wear. A FLANNEL and SKINNY JEANS. Yawn.

This leads me to A CHALLENGE! All you girlies that read my blog. Please help me out. I know everyday you have to get up and pick out your own outfit but now it is time to put on your thinking caps. I want YOU to tell ME some really cool MEN'S FASHION tips. I'm sure some of you have come across some nice stuff to show me. HELP ME! Also, if you have anything that's inspired you lately, let me know. I just really want that creative flow back.

A little bit of ART SCHOOL fun




Since I have no personal photos to post I thought this would be a good time to talk about one of the artists I learned about in my art theory class. JONATHAN BOROFSKY is his his name. The story on him is that he is a sculpturist. The extra special cool thing about him, though, is his use of negative space. I remember sitting through those extra long powerpoints, this artist was one of the only ones that genuinely interested me.

In personal news, I finally got to sign up for my classes. I have no classes on Mondays or Fridays. However, I am taking 18 hours collectively. Two of those classes are online Anthropology class. I'm also taking Archaeological Science as my natural science with a lab. Unfortunately, I'm also taking post civil war history. Also, I will be taking Design and Drawing 2. Basically, I'm just hoping that this semester doesn't kill me because if I can survive it I will be an entire semester ahead. WOOOOOOOOOOOT!
