Back to the Books (Sort of)

Well, today marks the end of my first week of year 2. I am really excited to be back and learning about all the things I love! The reason for the "Sort of" in the title of this blog is because only 2 of my classes require actual textbooks - the rest have online readings or art materials and supplies. I like all of my classes so far and can't wait to learn and create! So far, I am most excited to get back into photography and drawing. I love working with my film camera, processing black and white film and making prints in the darkroom, even though it is a long and tiresome process. Throughout high school, I always loved drawing, but wasn't able to fit the course into my schedule for first year. I finally have it and am very excited to start again! We are starting off the year with landscape studies.

Summer's End

It's hard to believe how fast summer flew by! I remember thinking how much time I had left to do all the summery things I wanted to do back in June. Now my time is almost up. I have two days left - tomorrow I'll be working and packing, and the next day I'll be moving all my stuff to my housing for this year. This end-of-summer is bittersweet because I am going to miss lazing around on my days off, but I'm also more and more excited about my second year of university! I can't wait to get back to learning about the things I love and being able to live with and see all my friends again! Yesterday, my parents noticed that the local farm has harvested their pumpkins a little early this year, so I went out to grab a couple of (hopefully) iStock worthy shots.
