sunny and warm

i have spent the past week in destin and am now back in knoxville.
honestly, this week couldn't have been any better.
it was exactly what i needed.
new friends and old friends together on the sand, in the waves, basking in the sun...
perfect.
i finished a book.
i became covered with new freckles.
i laughed a very large amount and i was so relaxed.
the drive back was great too with will, jeff, and gary.
any car ride that consists primarily of soundtrack listening is deemed perfect in my book.
getting back was kind of bittersweet, though.
the initial step out of will's car was unpleasant considering that it was a good twenty degrees cooler than the previous time i had been out of the car.
a deep sigh and back i went into the life that is knoxville.
after two days i have finally accepted being back and i am content with it.
my hands are stained thalo blue with spots of 1796 from the print lab and i am about to pick up a new book i purchased yesterday.
this book comes highly recommended by me already.
it's steinbeck's "travels with charlie."
if you haven't already, please read it.
i was crying laughing yesterday.
what a witty man.

As of Late and Some Pictures

So, lately life has been so good.
I hit an ultimate low point last week and after realizing that I was not myself, I decided to change the way each day was going.
This week, after many hours spent slaving over art projects in the A and A, I am feeling so different.
I have energy again.
I feel like I'm radiating with smiles...because each day seems only to get better.
Sometimes effort is needed to move forward.
I wasn't really moving forward before.
I was standing still.
Now I'm me again.

Aside from this, I am really loving my digital photo class.
Here are some projects that I've completed this semester:

This was an erasing project. I erased Alice's cell phone to prove how addicted we are to technology. It didn't turn out how I wanted, but oh well.


This is my composite of an alley behind market square:

I was going to add another picture, but my computer loves to mess with me, so it won't let me add it right now...soon to come, soon to come.
