Mid Life Crisis?
Ok so I have been lagging on my blogging. I haven't blogged in two weeks. During this time I was laid off of my job which has been pretty hard for me. Thrown me off a bit since my mother lost her job as well so I'm hanging on by a string right now. In the process I've been trying to concentrate on my school work which has been a little distracting, hence my lack of blogging, but I'm doing the best I can. This past week I had a chance to visit a professional photographer's studio. It was an eye opening experience. I honestly was listening to him talk about the expense and financial part of owning the studio but all I could think about was how much I still have yet to learn. I'll be honest I was a bit intimidated, but excited as well. I could see myself doing it but I realized I have a long way to go. This is a scary realization for someone who is 25 and still has no degree or work experience in this field. But I'm in the holiday spirit right now and honestly my mood is higher than ever. I know I have a lot of work to do but I'm confident I can do it. Now that I have free time and ::crosses fingers:: getting unemployment, I'm thinking of going on a mission to getting a job or finding a studio of any type to go work for free. Ambition...on a mission for ambition.

A Week in the Life of Poor ME
This week was crazy for me, but then again they are always crazy. In my Photography Seminar we had to keep a log of how we spent our time for the week so we can better utilize our time. This really isn't as easy for me because I have no time. So this is how I spent my week and used my time...
Monday- After class lets out at 11am on Monday I went home to have some lunch and get my things together. I left at 12:30 to go do a photoshoot out in Huntington Village near my job for my Digital 1 class. I shot until work started at 2 pm. I work until about 10:30pm and it takes me about a half hour to get home. Between 11pm-12am I am getting ready for the bed and the next day. Then it's sleep time.
Tuesday- I wake up at 8:30 am and I'm in class by 9:30 until 1:00pm, two classes. I then grab some lunch and head into work at 2pm....repeat, exept I stay awake until 1 am watching some TV before sleep.
Wednesday- I wake at 9:30 am and I am at my Grandmother's house by 10:30 to take her to do laundry. This lasts until about 1 pm and I grab lunch and head to work....repeat again.
Thursday- I wake at 8:30 am and my day goes exactly like Tuesday except I'm in bed by 12am.
Friday- I wake at 9 am and I start my 3 1/2 hour math class at the Ammerman Campus at 9:30. I live in Farmingville so it takes me only 5 min to drive there. When I get out at one, I go home for lunch and then off to work. After work I go out to the Village for a friends Birthday and I'm home and asleep by 3am.
Saturday- I sleep in a little today because well, I rarely ever get to and I'm really tired at this point. I work Monday through Friday from 2pm-10:30pm and now I have to work extra shifts on the weekend. I live in an apartment with my Mother and we share the bills. So today I sleep in and when I wake up at 11 am I take my mother for a job interview. Until about 3pm, I try to read for my online English class and log on to post discussions. Around 3pm, my mother and I go to Kmart and start to shop for Christmas. This turns into a four hour event becasue the layaway department is swamped and no one seems to know why the computers keep freezing! OY! Now after this I need a coffee break so at 7 pm I meet a friend at Starbucks, grab a latte and it's home again to clean up the house and do some reading in between. I leave to go do an overnight shift at work at 9:30pm and as I start work at 10 pm I realize it's daylight savings and I'm stuck there an extra hour.
Sunday- My shift ends at 8am and I drive home dangerously exhausted and I pass out at 9am, clothes still on and all. I sleep solid right through until 3 pm when I wake to get ready to go back in and work 4-10pm. During this time I have to deal with more drama at work than my mind is alert for. I work in a homeless shelter. After work, I stop off at Grandma's to take out her garbage and make it home to be in bed by 12am again....
Rinse and Repeat for another work week. =(
