Holidays
Yay! End of term holidays started today. As per usual, I got a ton of holiday homework, but I’m hoping to make a layout for this damn blog. Not getting the time to do so has been like living life with a large hole in my head. I knew it was there, but I couldn’t do anything about it. So, holidays=time, time=site stuff! Woohoo!, and I can patch up this big hole that feels like it’s soon going to take up my entire head. But, I need to get my irritatingly large amount of homework done first.
I was just blogging to say that, so while I’m at it I shall make a list so that everytime I look at my site, I will be reminded of all the stuff I have to do! That was a long sentence. I want to start some good habits as well, these holidays. These very, very short two week holidays.
TO BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS:
- Complete passage analysis for Literature [3-4 pages]. Passage: Bypass: Story Of A Road
- Complete Photography essay- Compare & contrast two artists [800-1000 words]. [I'm doing this on Diane Arbus & Juergen Teller for anyone interested, because they rock my lame-o socks]
- Complete English work- Read Deadly, Unna?, complete table, reflect on main characters [Gary's] growth [spiritual, emotional, physical]
- Drink more water!
- Wrestle with WordPress, make a theme
- Design at least 3-4 more T-Shirts for JaJa inc. [Yes, they thought of a name now :D! Cute, isn't it?]
That is all! … I think. More to be added as they pop up.
One of the cooler things that I’ve learnt from being a photography student and all, is that my eyes have been opened a whole lot to the world of photography (Yes, there is a world). Maybe, about two years ago, when I wasn’t that interested in photography, I would never understand an article about cameras (”What on Earth is an SLR? DSLR?!”) such as this one. But now, I’m reading it and it all makes perfect sense. Makes me feel satisfied and happy XD. Reading that makes me want a DSLR soooo bad! But I guess I’ll just have to make do with my humble traditional SLR, Rufus *pets his non-existent head*.
Actually, I was talking to a friend and we happened to go on about DSLRs. I said that I really really wanted one, but they’re so expensive so blah blah blah. She said “But traditional would be better, wouldn’t it?” and she went on to say that it’d be more… Authentic to develop your photos by hand. In a darkroom.
My brain went “WTF?” and then I realised. That’s what it looks like, to people who don’t do photography (She didn’t). Someone in a dark room calmly doing all those ‘fiddly photographer things’. Being all artsy. Haha. When I’m in the darkroom I get all pissy if my prints don’t turn out right. And then I yell at people who don’t make test strips. Artsy, indeed! XD
&, because a blog without pictures is like a painting without colour, I leave you all with this Very Cute Random Image. Funny how I didn’t follow that bit of philosophy earlier. Click to see a larger version. [For an idea of how small the animal is, the crown on it's head is a ring]

Yay! It’s always nice when you can find time to work on your site. :) I really enjoy it myself.
You sound like you’re going to be one busy bee coming up! I hope you can enjoy the holiday, though.

“Wrestle with Wordpress” haha :P Believe me, I’ve been manhandled by WordPress one too many times…
Good luck on the “drinking more water” thing! Whenever I try to that, I always seem to gravitate towards soda once again.

Hope you get through your list soon and without any trouble. :) I’m looking at the two photographers that you listed and I really admire Diane Arbus’ work; I can see why you like her!

Goodluck with working on your website in those 2 weeks XD I’m happy I have summervacation till mid August *huffff* Still so much to do with my websites, it’s crazy! Hahaha - I love it when you learn new stuff and are able to understand things you wouldn’t have before. I had the same feeling when studying Japanese and being able to read and speak more and more Japanese *huff*
Take care & enjoy your vacation !!!

My little brain shut down on me while I was looking for a way to comment on this post. There was no direct link to the comments page……unless you already knew that. :P
Photography? I’ve always wanted to learn photography. I take pictures of things that look good on a digital camera, not on a SLR, which would probably be more fun. I’m glad you’re enjoying photography, I envy you.
Enjoy those two weeks of pure website love. I now have two weeks of studying before my wretched exams, so again, I envy you. And good luck with all the work you have left to do.
