observations from a nobody

As much as I try to keep everything up to date it becomes harder and harder. Things seem to get in the way. Lately life has been busy (as usual). Work and school tear apart my weeks. Days are mere hours long. I can’t believe it is March already. I hope things begin to mellow out. There are many things I want to go out and do but no time to do them unfortunately.

School is doing okay for the most part. History is still boring as hell. Math is math. Psychology is hit and miss, especially since I am prone to dozing off now and then. The only entertaining class is my creative photography class which always brings something new to the table. It’s my most looked forward to class of the week. Still sad it is only one day a week though.

As for work, well it has been hectic as of late. Had a few weeks of epic shifts and now things are finally starting to calm down but with call-ins and crazy photo sales it still spikes now and then. I just try and stay positive but even that is testing me.

We’ll see if I can update this thing on a timely basis.

It’s that time of the year. School has returned for a sixth semester. This time it’s mostly book related crap that I’ll forget in probably three weeks. Time a little situation sit down and brief on this semester’s classes.

History – American History to 1877

First off, what is so important about 1877? I guess I’ll find out. Anyway, the class is seated in alphabetical order which is stupid because this is college, not elementary school. The professor has an annoying voice that drones during lectures. Today was the second day of class and we watched some boring late 80′s/early 90′s video about Columbus finding this wonderful land and how he fucked over the Native Americans. After that was notes that I slept through.

Math – Intermediate Algebra

I finally decided to give this class another try after god knows how long. The teacher is decent looking although she told us she can be a bitch. The book situation pisses me off and I had to pay more than $100 for a stupid code to use online to be able to do my homework. Stupid. It’s math, what do you expect it to be?

Psychology – Intro to Psychology

The professor is German which means she has the accent that all stereotypical therapists have. The one day I have had this class so far had me nodding off towards the end (I blame the lame Power Point presentation). This is the only class out of the others that has at least one person I know (not including photography because that is obvious that I know people). Seems like an interesting class though.

Photography – Creative Photography

I start this tomorrow and am excited. Shame it is only one day a week but it will give me time to do my projects during my hectic school/work schedule. WHOO!

That’s about it for now. I will TRY and actually get around to updating this more. Hopefully.

Last few days have been pretty typical. Classes are starting to wrap up which means all the last minute work needs to get done. My digital photography class starts it’s presentations tomorrow. I have mine ready for display. I am hoping for a somewhat decent grade to top off the class (which should be fairly easy). The professional photography class ends on Saturday (after one last regular class on Thursday). Still working on the final for that class. Going super last minute with it which isn’t too good but there isn’t anything I can do to help that. The project I laid out is much harder than I thought it would be and the current weather is not helping as I try and finish it up. I am crossing my fingers.

English is still a bore. He is still throwing daily quizzes at us and then the final will be next Thursday. Supposedly in class essay on some secret topic. I am really hoping I pass that class, along with political science. As for political science, my group was supposed to present our semester project today but time ran out so we have to present (and shorten) our presentation for Wednesday. Should go smoothly. The final is a multiple choice test next Wednesday. I like those kind.

Not much else to talk about really. The only notable thing is that I have been playing Forza 3 (hence the title). Driving like an asshole pays off like it should. Other than that, nothing else is special in the land of me. All I can say is that I could use my paycheck. Three more days.

Things be the same old routine as of late. Nothing of great importance to report. I put up some more photographs on the Deviantart account I have had since forever. Probably later this week I will get around to updated my actual site to show the photos I took this last week. I am also working on a more professional template for a proper portfolio but plan to keep the regular photo page up. We’ll see how that goes.

Tomorrow I  have to do a last minute shoot for a project for Tuesday. Hopefully things go without a hitch. I also have to great a card for another assignment. Not too hard. Eventually I have to get working on some other assignments. Two of them are final projects and another involves me to go to a city with tall buildings. I really want to get down to San Francisco for that one, but if I do I would like someone to come with me so I at least have company.

That’s about it for today. Work tonight and then my relaxing days tomorrow and (sort of) Tuesday. I need to beat Dragon Age: Origins.

This week has started off pretty wet. Quick storm rolling through which I wasn’t expecting. I was hoping to finish up some photo assignments for class but with this wacky weather I can’t do much unfortunately. Hopefully tomorrow goes to plan (according to Weather.com) so I can finish up the two that I have for this week.

Other than that I haven’t done much today. Fairly slow. Class flew by faster than usual which I won’t complain about. Just been sitting around for the most part. The weekend wasn’t something to write home about either. Standard class and work combo. This week should follow that and just flow by.

I am also going to try and get some new content on my photography page. There are a few sets I have taken that haven’t been sorted through yet but once I do new stuff should be uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

Now to find something to do.
