Holy cow what a whirlwind month! So much is going on it's hard to keep up. Well school is going awesome. For being a super bullshitter on all of my homework I still seem to be getting A's in all of my classes! Woohoo! Finished my last assignment today for Literature. I practically ran out of the testing center. I get 1 week to myself and then its on to fall semester. Good hell. I calculated how long it will take me to take the other 45 classes I still need to get my Bachelors at the pace i'm going(never do this btw it's a total downer and will take the wind right out of your sails!) If I keep taking 3 classes per semester it's going to take me 7 years to graduate. If I take 4 it will take me 5. Kill me now! Ok...if my math is wrong please correct me. I suck at Math! Which, I have this fall. I have Math (dumbass math), Anthropology and Intro to Business. Not excited, but i'm getting it done. One day at a time I guess.
On top of all of this somehow I've managed to start a photography business. Completely by accident. Just kind of started happening. My fam wanted their pics, then my sis, then my cousin, then my cousins sister, then my cousin's sisters husband, then my husband's friend, etc...etc....Well all this time i've been just borrowing my mom's camera which has been a pain in the ass because she uses it often and I have to bring it back the next day. My husband said, "enough of that" and went out and bought me a fancy shmancy camera. A Canon EOS 5D Mark II to be exact. What all that means...couldn't tell ya! To me it means, damn good pictures and having to read the manual to even understand how to take the pictures to begin with. It also means $1600 in my clumsy hands. This terrifies me. Well, my husband is completely on board now and has gotten all the books, lenses, camera bags, tripods etc..we even registered for a business license. This was literally within a week! It's a lil stressful but I like it. Editing takes a long time and we have a sloooooww assss computer but we're working on upgrading. I like it. It makes people happy and that makes me happy. I've always been one of those people with a million photos in their house and I can appreciate the value of captured memories. They are tangible memories that are only accessible through a photo. Do I think i'll be filthy rich from this? Probably not, but its a fun hobby and it makes more $ in day than I get paid to go to work twice a week. So yes, i'm staying in school. Our business name is "Oh Snap! Photography." I dreamt about it, thought it was funny, everyone liked it...so there it is. We've been busy every weekend since we started it up, but it feels good to be excited about something together. We figure if nothing comes of it at least we'll have a nice camera to take pictures of our travels and our kids.

Your pictures look great... school will always suck, but every semester you get closer to your goal! It'll be here sooner than you think, even though it seems like forever. You can do it!
