I have a feeling I'll be blogging more often, now that school's over...Stay Tuned

So, I'm officially by myself upstairs. Andrea left this morning to move into her new apartment in Brooklyn, New York. It's supposed to be raining in New York this afternoon, so hopefully they can escape a shower or two.

It's really hard saying bye to Andrea. She's been there for me the whole year when I needed someone to vent to or cry to. 

My family was supposed to fly out of Hartford yesterday afternoon, but because of the thunderstorms we've been having their flights were canceled until this morning.

Here are some pictures from when we went to Boston on Saturday:

My Graduation from the Hallmark Institute of Photography!

Last Friday, June 20th, I graduated from the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls, Massachusetts! I have learned a tremendous amount from Hallmark and I don't regret anything about it. 

I can't believe it's over though. There were plenty of times when I was home sick and crawled into the fetal position on my bed, wanting to go home. And there were times when I've wanted to kill everyone in my house (7 other GIRLS). But, I've learned so much about who I truly am and what I'm capable of.

Here are a few pictures from my graduation:

(I'm in the yellow dress)

(Receiving my certificate...I'm up on the plasma screen, too.)

(My family that flew up to see me...Maggie, Holly, my mom, Chrystal, me, Jodi, my dad)

(Me and a couple of my roommates...Malissa & Andrea)

(Me in front of the Educational Building on the wall it says 

"This is Our House"

Class of 2008)

(Melted Ice sculpture "h 2008")

(Me & Kimberly a.k.a. Kim-bo)

Me and my beautiful sisters:

Well, there are more pictures taken and I'll post them once I get my hands on them. 

My plans for after graduation consist of going to Mary Frances' wedding this weekend in Maine, going back home to Nederland, Texas, finding work and traveling.

Let me know if you or someone you know is interested in hiring a freelance assistant in Texas.

I'm your girl! :)

Have a great week everyone!

Thanks for your love and support,

Maybe the sun will shine today and the clouds will blow away...

Okay, so first let me start with some unfortunate news: Our web design instructor, Paul Bissex, was in a car accident yesterday morning. He was in a really bad condition yesterday and is getting better. He can open his eyes, move his arms, communicate with nodding and moving his hands, recognize his family and friends, and is aware of where he is, just not exactly what happened before the accident. Paul is one of our favorite instructors at Hallmark and we miss him dearly and wish him the best of luck with his recovery. Please keep him in your thoughts.

Now for some GOOD news: this past Tuesday my portfolio was reviewed and passed by the three judges (David Turner, Barbara Bordnick, and Beth Reynolds). I was the last person in my group to go and was stressing out all day monday and tuesday. 

My portfolio will ALWAYS be a work in progress, but I'm glad that they enjoyed it and didn't find all that much to criticize. Beth liked an image so much she's willing to buy it from me (the main picture on my website home page).

I unfortunately don't have much to show, since I haven't really taken any pictures in the last couple of days, so I figured I would leave you with a fabulous singer covering one of Rhianna's songs. Her name is Kina Grannis and her voice is so melodic and beautiful!

Thanks for visiting! Next post will include pictures, I promise!

Love,
