what have i been up to?

well, to be honest. NOT MUCH. i just spent far too long fixing up a new blog layout because the last one just wasn't working for me. (btw, the header ain't a font - it's mah handwriting) the past couple of weeks are a blur. school is slowing down, so i've been spending my free time playing pokemon, getting a job (woho, employed), and wasting time on the internet (as usual). and i just took my last AP yesterday (AP PHYSICS, LMFAO) so i'm basically done with high school. here's a huge photo spam. oh, and i have this problem where i can't stop listening to one direction. woops. oh, and i finally saw the avengers. ugh, amazing.

waterballons whilst distracting the unknowing claudia for her surprise party later that night.

me rejecting zainab's luvin'.

pahaha, bad pitch.

we all went hiking for daisy's birthday! needless to say i am out of shape.

there is an inchworm there, i swear.


we all drove there in a big van, like a family on a roadtrip <3
we had fun at walmart. the following phones were taken with my friend's iphone. mostly by me. because i like to take my friend's phones and pretend it's mine.

some great photo bombs.

we got our cords for spanish honor society! <3 a
fun afternoon of kickball and volleyball.
and singing in the middle of the street.

we tied our hair together in the library because we have lots of problems. and also, camwow is the greatest app ever.
we managed some sort of group photo.
that is not a kiss, kira.

c-c-c-c-college?!

and on the college note, besides being rejected from everywhere - it's been okay! i've kind of ruled out SVA from my choices because of the high tuition. if i'm going to a school without a campus, it better be worth it - and i dunno - i haven't properly toured the facilities (which i know are great) but eh the school kind of turned me off a bit. right now i'm thinking about either MICA or SAIC. i'm visiting MICA on sunday to see the campus and walk around, and i might visit SAIC - but it's in chicago wahhh. in a few day's i'll see if i got into NYU tisch photography and imaging. if i don't, i'll check out SAIC. but if i do....holy shit i would be the happiest person on this planet. lately i've been trying not to think of it as much because whenever i do i get quite emotional and depressed and angsty and emotionally unstable. i'm trying my best to detach myself from NYU.....because i don't know if they'll accept me and i don't want to have my hopes up - only to be crushed.

this post has been in my drafts for a week now, but i haven't got around to posting it - mainly because IT DON'T APPLY NO MORE!



i got into nyu tisch's department of photography and imaging! i've been shitting myself since i found out in january that the program only accepted 36 undergrads every year. and i got in. i was on skype with gloria gossiping about a recent prom proposal when my friend told me that NYU decisions were out. so gloria watched me scream, sob, double check to make sure it wasn't fake, and sob some more. YUP. haha, i'm an emotional person - and even though this program isn't the highest rank program or anything....i liked how it was selective so that the classes would be tight. it was in the city. it was part of nyu, so i could take classes in other schools. it was close to home. HELLO, internship opportunities. i was pretty convinced i would fail everything, but to my total surprise i got in. I AM WORTH SOMETHING IN LIFE. i'm still trying to grasp the fact that i'm living in new york city next year. ug, my dream my dream my dream.

now i just have to figure out the damn tuition.

but on other notes, life has been pretty dull and photographically devoid of inspiration. i haven't taken anything decent since ellen's shoot and my camera's focusing problems have been annoying the hell out of me. spring break starts on friday, which is good news because i've been trying to set up a shoot with alex to try some hamlet's ophelia type goodies. game of thrones season two premiere was last night, i watched it today after school and holy shit - i'm so fucking excited. (any other ASOIAF FANS?)

oh also, like the new layout? scrapped the old one and went for something newer.

now, photo spam of pointless personal shenanagins.

 

sketchy phone photos. but the trees are gorgeous. ug, no inspiration/no one to shoot wah. 

 

OUT TO SUSHI WITH FRIENDS. (i have friennnddds) 

 

victoria came backkkk. and then lefttt again. 

 

civics court case on affirmative action with gloria. fun fun fun. 

i donated blood :D

 

PITAAA CHIPPPSSS. 

 

random cut appeared on thumb? score. time to use my p&f bandaids. 

what we basically do in AP physics. our sexy lab group.  

 

saw the hunger games with claudia and my mom. damn, it was incredibly impressive and faithful to the book. this franchise is going to be amazing, i can't wait. 

 haha, my friends saw on my computer that i had a ton of photos of myself. i was like....wait, you don't? is this just a photographer thing? abuse of webcam? 

 this past week has been a flurry of college notifications and work and no work, i don't want it to end - but i want it to end right now so i can go to college. nyar.
