i hate photojournalism. i want to quit. right now. i hate my photostory class. it is going to kill my gpa and no matter how many hours of work i put into it every week it isn't good enough. 20 hours a week is not shooting enough. not like i have a job, or other classes, or friends or anything. i mean obviously all of my energy should go toward this one class. obviously.

i direct all my anger toward my teacher who i don't like, but really it's probably just my own fault. i have lost all creativity. i have no vision. no point of view. i've lost all ability to shoot a creative picture and i look at the things i shoot and i'm just bored.

i suck. i'm dried up. 2 years and $4000 dollars into this major and i'm done.

omg thanks to liz and christine i am obsessed with this carrie underwood song called "before he cheats." it is pretty much amazing. i listened to it like 10 times in a row and then got on limewire and downloaded her entire album, lol.

this is like my favorite week of this school year so far. i dunno why, just a bunch of random things made this week really fun. last night me and christine had a party for our frat and i don't know if we've ever been that drunk, lol. and then i had to get up at 7 this morning for a photoshoot and i'm pretty sure i was still drunk.

gotta love college

"Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97:

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen."

this summer was insane. and as much as i hate to see it be over, i'm kinda glad because maybe school will actually make me do something. seriously, i had so much i wanted to get done this summer and i didn't accomplish any of it. i can't think of one productive thing i did. blah. it was a lot of fun though...

in other news, i'm so overwhelmed right now. i have all this post shit to organize and i'm so lost. i really REALLY doubt i am ready to be editor but i'm just gonna have to make it work. hopefully i don't die in the process.

i am just generally in a bad mood about this whole end-of-summer-have-to-start-school-and-be-constantly-stressed-out thing. and i am having serious difficulties enjoying the last week of summer because two of my bestest friends are not here anymore and our house is like, soooo empty and quiet. i don't care if we get on each others nerves when we are together...i miss you guys and i'd rather we all be here annoying each other and causing drama than have it be like this. *tear* :(

ok, i never write in this anymore and that entry was waaaaay too long so i'm done now. this should be an indication of how bored i am and how much of a life i lack.
