My internship offered me a job! :)
2 min read
Yup. That happened. I officially work at Elevate Group ad agency in Dallas. They're local and they're awesome. I was under the impression that it was long term, but because I had already signed up for a full load of classes in the spring, I was not able to work very long, therefore I am only working during the winter break. I am learning so much still; it is a really good experience!
Design is going well, too! I'm learning so much about graphic design - and spending a lot of time focusing on it - that i have sort of put photography on the back burner. (and sorry, that should be an em dash, not a regular hyphen, but i don't know how to do that on a computer outside of adobe products). I haven't forgotten about photography. I hope to be doing some shoots this winter break. I need to get weird. I need to photograph!
I am currently designing posters to sell at my school to try to fundraise monies to do an 8 week summer internship in London next summer. I highly doubt I will make a plethora of monies, but I think it would be fun to design personal work and a great way to practice my entrenepeur skills. I need to work on my spelling skills too, apparently

going back to college
2 min read
The general plan for the next three years:
-take the "free" car instead of having a nicer car with payments. Since my civic was totaled, my dad is going to split the difference and buy me a Nissan Rouge. I'm stoked! Its still a pretty sweet car!
-save money for college by waiting a year to go back
-but wait! because of shitty tuition reimbursement, I can do ONE part-time college semester in January for "free"! So I still get to start college the semester I wanted
-Next fall....switch work to a very similar cell phone company that will let me do part time and make even more money so that i can full time where I am at now.....
-Buy another Japanese Akita puppy! (The puppy is Toki's sister, Zuma, and hopefully, the stud will be a red dog from Italy) (still haven't decided M or F, intact or not, or what color, but its going to happen!!)
-Do full time college the remainder of the time. (since it'll all be laptop work, it'll be way more manageable to have a puppy and college and a job. I've always said, you can always make time for something if you really love it)
No, I'm not "done" with photography. Oh god no! Expect more work from me. I've got some awesome things planned with hope, I just need to get my life together, (not to mention wait until its not 105F outside), before doing some photoshoots. Ultimately, I would like to try for "art director" or "creative director". It seems doable.
Not to mention that life has been pretty overwhelming and stressful lately. In the last 2.5 months, my puppy was attacked by a pit bull, I moved from an apartment to a house, (the last two on the same day), enrolled/decided to go back to college, started a new job, quitting said new job for another new job, oh, and I also go rear ended and now my car is totaled. Not all are bad things, per say, but all are stressful. My life has been completely turned upside down, but I think 5 years from now, I'll be alright.

in regards to photography...

Photoshop is the bane of my existence
1 min read
dude. photoshop people. assemble!
Does anyone know why the heal tool randomly decides to heal a few pixels below the curser, and not directly under the curser? What unknown, cursed button am i pressing? the only fix for this is to restart photoshop, and frankly, this is annoying >_>
Litterally, random. There is no pattern to a layer order, filter, control+button, save, ect... button. So frustrating! Not a hinderance, but damn, so annoying!! Does anyone ever have this same weird ass problem, or is it just me? i understand that unexplainable things happen to me all the time that happen to no one else and I just have to accept them, but this time, this is something someone else programed, and this shouldn't be happening.
I would take a screenshot picture, but my cursor changes every time i clicky the screenshot pictures.
