I'm going there someday!!!

Somehow, someway, I'm going to get to Asia. And I mean all over Asia. Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, India. I've been to two countries other than the United States so far but I just want to go everywhere! I'm really excited to what can happen within the next five years. The plan right now is to graduate (one year), get rid of student debt (hopefully one year or less), find another girl to travel with me then hit the road! And don't stop until I have to. So many opportunities!

The picture is pretty simple for today. I've been super tired for the majority of the day, I think because a lot of the time I spent on the couch, half-way off to sleep land. I did go to the gym today, where I took a "hip hop" class. That was interesting. And it pretty much kicked my butt. Normally there is a girl named Megan who teaches it, but she was out of town today and the guy who instructs the break-dancing class had stepped in. And let me tell you, he upped the difficulty. He really knows how to take care of his body, and how to move it in ways I never have before.

for this picture I'm just chilling in my quad, I tried to fool around with the lighting, but it's not really all that interesting or anything. I'll do better tomorrow.

It's Lauren!

Well I went all over town today because I got lost. And once again I had a dash of stupidity thrown in with a bunch of awesomeness, but I'm not stressing over it. I definitely am still learning new things, and thank God I was able to fix the problem before something worse happened.

Anyway, tonight I got to go see a movie with my friend's Lauren and Sarah. I met up with Lauren right after I worked out at the gym, so I'm looking a bit rough, but Lauren is looking beautiful as always.

This is at the Invisible Children's rally, but unfortunately we had to leave to go meet Sarah before they played the movie. We did enjoy some of the stuff before hand though! Oh, and don't you just love the guy in the background?! He must have spotted me with my camera and figured he wanted to get in on the action. I caught him in about five other pictures looking right into the lens.

Update and Ramen!

It's been a while since I've said anything about my internship. So here's an update. I'm not going to the Philippines anymore. Instead I am heading off to Cairo, Egypt. I still have to touch base with the director as I missed his open time slot today, but I think I might be able to call him tomorrow and find out how much money it is going to cost to live over there for two months. I've already got my papers that I just need to fill out for the school, and then I'll be all set! Hopefully this time everything works out the way I plan. 

And for today's picture, 

Picture # 55 

Yes, this is me, eating ramen. Not the most exciting picture, but it's rare that I eat ramen and I think it's ironic that right after attending a women's wellness seminar I turn to this. Which is really, really funny, especially since the majority of the time they talked about healthy eating. Which I do about 98% of the time now. I guess this is included in my 2%, which means I should probably skip out on eating cookies tomorrow. :(

Anyway, the only thing I don't like about this picture is the harsh shadows behind me on the wall. If I had better lights I would have fix it, but in my room this is the best it was going to get without using the flash.

Work can be fun!

I love what I do. I'm not the best at it yet, in fact I still have a long way to go. But I love it. I grow more passionate about film everyday. It's unbelievable.

So here is a picture I shot tonight right after my video shoot wrapped in my room. Obviously campus dorms aren't very big, so the three of us in the picture had to really squeeze together. We still had all the equipment up and everything so we used the camera as a prop. Major points go to Dan my usual D.P. (Director of Photography) for letting us use his camera since he isn't allowed on my hall. But Kristin my RA who also does video work stepped up and helped us out.

I love this because we are all so different. Olivia (my co-star) is a bit blurred, but I think it creates movement. I'm looking oblivious as always, and I just love Kristin's smile in the light. 

Working with girls who know what they are doing in this field just encouraged me so much, and I had to share. I can't wait to work some more with these awesome women of God!

MW2!

Well, I got a lot done today, not nearly as much as I need to, but I'll make it work. Anyway, today I played Modern Warfare 2. Crazy right? But I've heard nothing but Modern Warfare 2 for the past week, starting at my friend's apartment. I don't even remember how we got onto the subject but we did. Then the next day a guy who works in my school's media lab brought in his XBox and some games. Boys have been playing it constantly ever since. So I decided to do a video about the game for my class. And since I was talking about the game, I figured I might as well play it.

I actually really enjoyed it. I had no idea what I was doing, since I rarely have time to play video games, but I had fun walking around in circles until Bill, the guy who was playing with me, would come find me and lead me out.

I would definitely play again, but ask how to do more things before I start playing. This time, I essentially just picked up the controller and just started. This game is way different from the other video games I played before. I've really only ever gotten into three games. Motor Cross, Kingdom Hearts, and Mario Kart Double Dash. Oh, and does Dance Dance Revolution count? So this game was definitely a challenge for me.

I am legit playing this game! I took a back shot just for proof. And you can spot Bill's knee, ha. 

I gave in

So one of my friends has been bugging me to take a picture with my glasses on. And today I finally took a straight on shot of me with my glasses. The end. This is my entire post for the day.
