I feel really strange right now. I feel like I have homework to do... but I don't. I'm not really enjoying this feeling.
Anyways, finals went good. I passed all my classes and I have a few new and more exciting projects to put in my apartment. I already have my DI print up. I gotta decide on what to do with my steel print. I love it. It looks exactly like a tin type and that was exactly what I was going for.
Um. Right after class on Friday I headed out to the airport to get to DC. My flight was an hour late, which made me late to pick up my rental car, so I had to rent a mustang convertible from another rental service. It was a fun car, believe that. When I got into town Cory and I just passed out... that is after I had to call Jane to get directions and the time because I left the invitation in a magazine.. that I gave to a guy on the airplane.. Way to go Emily. haha. So the wedding was really pretty and short. Lots of hot marines. The reception was so nice. It was the perfect place for a medium sized gathering. Cory and I got to meet some of Nick and Jane's friends that were at our table. They were all really nice and fun to hang out with. Anyways, Cory and I stayed till the end, which was like 5 and we headed back to the hotel for a mini nap and some dinner. We went out to see the monuments at night. I love seeing the monuments. Usually it never meant a big deal to me, they were just important structures that have a lot of background. But now that I have close friends in the military, it was a whole different experience. I'm glad I got to see it with Cory cause we talked about the military and his view of the war and it was great to not only hear a friends point of view, but also a Navy soldiers point of view.
The next day we went back to The Mall to see the wall and to go to the Air and Space museum. After that we went back to the hotel to wait for his friend to pick him up and I had to check out early from the hotel because Nick and Jane wouldn't let me stay at the hotel that night alone.. haha. So Cory's friend was taking too long so we went out to get lunch and then said bye. Then I headed out to Nick's to play Guitar Hero (which is like my favorite game now) and go see X-Men 3. Then, I couldn't believe they did this, but on Monday they were supposed to start their honeymoon by going down to south VA but they decided to go next weekend so that they could hang out with me on Monday. I literally teared up. I still can't believe they did that. Well, then on Monday we went shopping to get cheap stuff off of the military department stores and then we went to the botanical gardens. Nice place. Then we went to this place that sells REALLY cheap designer purses that looks EXACTLY like the real stuff. I compared this coach purse to mine and I could not find one thing different. So I bought it.. haha. The one that I wanted they didn't have any left so Jane said that she would get it for me later and I can pay her back. Anyways, then we dropped off the rental and headed out to the airport where we said bye. I had such a great time and I already miss VA/DC. I really enjoy that area.
Let's see here. This weekend is gay pride weekend in Denver so I'm letting my friend from Boulder stay with me so he can partake in the activities. Then I work on Monday and Tuesday and then leave early Wednesday for Florida. I'll be in Florida until Thursday (the 8th) so everyone get ready for a good time.
Well, I guess I'm going to go and take care of some stuff. Hope all is well and I'll post some pictures later!!

Wee!@!!!! I just did a polaroid lift!!!@!!!  Polaroid Lift = taking a polaroid and lifting the print off of the backing and putting it onto a hot pressed paper. But it's harder than what it sounds.. Cause it's really sensitive and breaks really easy and I did it in my kitchen and I got it right on my first time! Yay! :D

So, this weekend I went camping out in Southern Colorado. It was this kid's birthday party. Every year he rents out a piece of land and has people come out and listen to multiple DJs and camp out. And literally, they played the music from Friday, to Sunday afternoon without stopping once. Techno is actually good music to listen to when you are trying to go to sleep. Or at least for me it was. But it was a lot of fun. We simply hung out, drank, and had a good time. And it was FANTASTIC to get away from school and work for a little bit.
So, the trip there was gorgeous.. Until I ripped my big toenail off. I rode with a friend and he has an old school jeep that he re-did and so there is no carpet on the floors. Anyways, we were heading to the site and my foot slipped on the metal floor and went up under the passenger seat... which ran into a bar that ripped up my toenail. I have NEVER felt such pain before. Nor have I ever felt so disgusted before. haha. I can't stand to look at it or touch it so cleaning it/rewrapping it is a task for me. I have to go to the DR today and get a tetanus shot so I don't die and then the healing process starts. I've never lost a nail before so this is slightly interesting to me. I've always wanted to know what happens so I guess I'll see soon.
It's week 8 so I have 4 more weeks left of school and I am SOOOOOOO excited. By the end of this week I should know the exact dates of my trip to FL. I also have to start taking Wednesdays off because with finals coming up soon, I definitely need all the time I can get.
Well, it's time for me to go to Walgreens to get aloe (for my completely screwed up burn. Apparently I suck at putting on sun block and I am burnt in certain areas. Assuming that I simply missed the spot.. somehow...) and get some stuff for my toe. Hope all is well.

Why am I up this early?? Oh right, I know why. Because I passed out at 4 oclock yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until 1:30 this morning. Wee... What's sad is the fact that I woke up around 8 last night and I even turned to get out of bed but I must have just fell back asleep. At least I woke up early enough today so that I could work on some photoshop for my class this afternoon. And I seriously needed the sleep. I'll get to that story later.
I'm doing good in classes. I'm really enjoying my Ind./Corp. class. I just really like my project and I'm really into it. However, that does make me a bit of a slacker in my other classes. Mainly Digital Illustration. Which is sad because I was really excited about that class until I realized how much I don't like Photoshop. haha. Oh well. I'm going to focus a little more on that class now since I have everything else set. I still need to find two to three more models for my portraiture class. I didn't go last class cause I felt so horrible. These allergies are taking me down. I had an allergic reaction to my nasal spray so I could barely speak and when I did talk, I sounded like death. It was fantastic. I went in later in the day though to turn in my photo for the class so I didn't get a zero and decided to stay for my next class. We were going on a field trip and I got lost and didn't make it in time so I have to take the tour on my own time. Which sucks because I really don't have time to go. Since I didn't make it to that I went and hung out with some friends up in Boulder.
I'm surprised I got everything done for my classes last week because I went out drinking so much. I went out to Bender's on Wednesday night, JR's on Thursday, Fashion show with free drinks on Friday, then a friends house/bar hopping on Saturday.
This week I've been working and last night I went out to the Snake Pit with a few friends. That was an interesting/crazy night to say the least. It's pretty much always a crazy night though when I hang out with them. Didn't go to bed until like 3 and I had to wake up at 5:30 to come back here, shower, and get ready for work. I was falling asleep at work so I had to keep on walking around so I would stay awake. Then I had a photoshoot up in Genessee in this FANTASTIC basement. It was so beautiful. I'll post the picture once I'm finished with it. Then I came home and literally walked into my bedroom and passed out. It was a good nap... if you could call it a nap since I slept for 9 hours.. haha.. That's crazy.
Well, I'm going to go. Hope all is well with everyone.

Back to classes for me. Boo.. Break was good. Didn't do much of anything since I had to go to the DR during the break and had to spend like $100 in medicine. It's rediculous. After 21 years of not having any allergies, I now have allergies in which I have to take pills everyday and a nasal spray. At least I have it under control. I just thought I had cold for about 2-3 months so it feels good now.
I think this quarter is going to be a little difficult but I know I'll pull through. I have Materials and Processes which seems like a cool class. I was nervous that this class was going to take a lot of hours outside of school but he gives us a lot of lab hours so that makes it easy. Then I have Advanced Portraiture which I dread going to. Simply because I HATE portraiture. I hate the fact that we aren't allowed to be artistic with it. I understand that most people want straight portraits because it's mainly family pictures but it ruins your vibe almost when you have to spend a class strictly on what is decent and appropriate. Oh well, as long as I find the people for the photos and pass I'll be happy. It should be an easy class, I just have to find the people for it. Then it's Industrial/Corporate photography. I think this might be a hard class, but once I find my business it should be easy. I'm trying to do Lockey Martin since my Dad works for Pratt. Hopefully they will let me do them for my business because I think I could do well with it since I already know so much about them. I think I'm really going to like this class. We go to a lot of field trips. We are going to go to Coors Field and we are allowed to drink beer there. I think it's funny that while we are in class (technically) we are allowed to drink... for free... Haha.. No complaints here. Anyways, then I have Digital Illustration. I'm really excited about this class. I have a lot of ideas so I hope I do well and it will get me back into learning everything in photoshop. Since I've been here it's mostly been film so I have been out of photoshop for a while now so I'm definitely a little rusty.
I have a job interview tomorrow. I think I'm pretty much hired, I just need to meet a few more people. Should be a good job and I get paid $10 an hour so that will definitely help out with the bills. If it starts to effect my grades though, I'll drop the job. I don't want anything to distract me from school. I also have to go to an eye dr appt tomorrow... Should be fun... lol... I need contacts like nobodies business so it's good that I'm going.
Well, I should be going now. I've got a few things I need to take care of before I hit the sack. I hope all is well.

Sleep deprivation sucks....
So, finals are this week... I don't think I've gotten more than 4 hours of sleep for the past week or so.. I have so much shit that I have to do it's insane... But in 4 days, it will be over. Then I have a week off and it all starts over again...
Yesterday for St. Patrick's Day I went out to Boulder with Christina and hung out with her crazy friends again. Of course it was fun and I got home around 3:30AM but I probably didn't fall asleep until like 5:00. Then I woke up at 8:30 so that I could go to Hobby Lobby to pick up some fake flowers. Then off to the mountains with Mike. I felt like shit but we got up there and shot our stuff then headed back to Denver. I'm a little worried about how the pictures came out. They weren't really what I wanted but I didn't have that many options because it started snowing pretty heavy after a while. Anyways, then I had to go to Target and I spent a little too much money but oh well, it's all stuff that I needed. When I got back home I had to start taking my 3-d photos for my final. I took a lot of photos and while they were loading on my computer, I heard kitty in the bathroom and he was making a lot of noise. I figured I should check it out but before I could walk in there, he hauls ass into the bedroom and I noticed there was something shiny on his foot. My first thought was that he was playing with a hair tie.. but then reality clicked in and I remembered that I don't have any hair ties with the metal clasp anymore. So I got a little nervous and I could hear him hissing under the bed. So I laid on the floor to look under the bed and I see this really long shiny thing stuck to his foot. I immediately thought he got one of my earrings stuck in his foot but then I realized that I had them in my ears... Then I realized it was the fishing hook. My cat somehow got to the very back corner of my closet, chewed on the line and I guess he started playing with the hook then it got stuck in his foot. GREAT... So I freak out and I had to take him to the hospital and they had to put him under so they could take out the hook. I couldn't believe it. Everyone was in love with him at the hospital though so that's a plus. He's ok now. He's actually really active for a cat that was just put under.
Now, I have to finish all my stuff so that I can print tomorrow and tomorrow I have to do my whole entire magazine layout because it is due monday. Then Monday and Tuesday I will probably be at school all day getting Thursday's finals all together. Then Thursday is my last classes and I can relax. I can't wait because I am e.x.h.a.u.s.t.e.d..... Well, back to homework for me. I hope all is well with everyone.

It feels so good outside. I mean like it is 15 degrees out, but it feels great. I'm going to miss this cold weather while I'm in Florida. I think the only thing I won't miss is having to sit in the car while it warms up. I'm really impatient, especially in the morning.
I have one suitcase packed. Haha, I was only going to bring one suitcase but the weather in Florida changes pretty quickly so I don't know what to bring. The thing that is killing me is my sweaters/jackets. Some things I have to bring for when I go to the airport and when I get back from Florida cause you can't just wear sandals and a sweater. You gotta wear a good jacket and some boots so that takes some of the space. And now I know that my sister actually bought me something for Christmas so I have to bring another suitcase with extra room so I can fit whatever she bought me in there. Shouldn't be too bad though, the 2nd bag I'm bringing is more like a small duffle bag.
I love how I look at the weather for Florida and Colorado and Colorado, for the next 10 days, there is no forecast of showers except for today, which is snowing. And for Florida, out of the 10 days, only 2 of those days don't have rain in the forecast. The other 8 are rainy. Gotta love it. There is going to be a few showers on Tuesday... Hopefully that won't delay my flight. Well, I guess I'm going to go now. Gonna go watch some TV or something since I'm sick of packing. Hope all is well and I'll be seeing you all soon!!
