What's Up

Still super bored for the summer and it’s officially too hot and I don’t like being hot AT ALL. I can’t wait for winter to be back. Sigh. On the other hand things are looking up for the next few weeks at least. Tonight and probably tomorrow I have a sort of photography job! I say sort of because as far as I know it doesn’t pay. I’m not sure if I mentioned last month that I went and volunteered at a community theater, but I mentioned to them while I was there that I do photography and they were really excited about that so that’s who I’m doing it for. It’s their new works festival and while I suppose that I could see a bunch of new shows from people in the Michigan (and a couple from surrounding states) area I’m going to be focusing on the pictures. (Duh) I suppose that last bit didn’t need to be said but I’ve been sitting in my house not talking to anyone except my mom when she gets home from work and my friends maybe once a week so my thinking and social skills are really out of whack. I think that the point I was trying to make was that I’m doing this photography thing and it doesn’t pay but I’m told that the pictures will be used for promotional purposes which is really awesome because even if I’m not getting paid I’m getting my work out there and maybe someone will see it who does want to pay me.
Also for the first week in July I’m going to be staying at my dad’s house which will probably suck because my brother and that girl he dates will be there but luckily they’re going away (stupidly) for the fourth but that least I won’t have to see them. I’m going to be helping my friend with watching her mom’s house while her mom is out of town. I don’t really see why Catie can’t do it herself. I know that she doesn’t like having to drive back and forth between her house and her mom’s but it’s not that far and it’s not like she has a job, she does help her husband (gag I can’t stand that guy.) at his store but she can take a week to help her mom, plus Catie’s sister is still around and can help more, but like I think I said whatever. It lets me go out and do something even I do have to be in the same house with that girl my brother dates. Plus last time I helped out they gave me sixty bucks and I don’t know if I’ll get that again but I’m hoping.
I don’t know what else is going on, well I do know and it’s not a whole lot, I should say I don’t know if there’s anything else worth mentioning. Um, my puppy graduates from intermediate obedience class on Monday.
Yesterday I went and bought my ticket for Hanson so now I get to go and see them in August. I love Hanson.
My mom’s dog is going to be in a dog show in July, according to my mom she’s totally going to blow it. Echo is a good dog and she follows directions well but for some reason when she’s off leash in the ring she totally forgets that she’s supposed to be listening to my mom. Hopefully she’ll be better then my mom thinks that she will be.
I’m probably going to see Harry and the Potters in July, they’re going to be in Ypsilanti and I think I may have talked my sister into going. I thought I had her convinced to go down to Akron for roflcoptour but she decided that it would be too far so that sucks but Ypsi is only ten minutes from her apartment so we can probably work it, it just depends on if she wants to stay out late on a work night. (yeah my sister is sort of a super dork but hey I appreciate her work ethic, I mean without it how is she going to take care of me in my old age?)
I think that covers even the stuff that’s not worth mentioning so I’m going to go for now.

This not doing anything for the summer is really getting me down. I didn’t try to get financial aid for summer semester because I thought that I would be busy or something and clearly that idea was wrong. I’m still trying to get a job but that hunt is not going well. (Is anyone really surprised about this?) Sigh one day I’ll be a proper adult. Anyway I’m really excited for fall when school starts back up. The main reason I think I went back to school aside from the fact that I decided that I needed an actual degree rather then just my film school diploma is that I needed a way to get out of my dad’s house and I needed something productive to do. That worked really well I am out of my Dad’s house which is awesome because being over there is super depressing, also when I’m actually attending classes I feel like I’m working towards something I have something that I can tell people I’m doing and I found out that I actually really like learning. I knew that I liked it before but high school kind of beat that out of me and my first attempt at college wasn’t much better. I’m in a better place to understand education in general and I really really like it. A couple days ago I finally found out when I’ll be able to register for next semester so I spent and good part of the day trying to figure out my schedule which given that I can’t actually register for the month the school didn’t exactly have all of the information I needed but I did decide on the classes I wanted and some of the classes had teachers attached so with some searching on rate my professor I ruled out some teachers which was good. My school is supposed to be a community college aka local but they have five campuses spread out over southeast Michigan and some classes you can only get at certain locations which means serious driving. I found out that one of the classes I need for my major is only offered in one section at one location, this is seriously frustrating because I go to the Royal Oak campus it is close enough that I can walk (not happily because it is a really long walk but I can do it) and I can stay at my mom’s, this class is at the Orchard Ridge campus which is in Farmington which is at the absolute very least 45 min. to an hour drive and I don’t have a car still and I can’t ask my mom do make that drive which mean’s I’m going to have to stay at my dad’s for a night a week and get him to take me because it’s still far but it’s closer from there. So that’s super annoying but I’m hoping that something will pop up for that before I actually register that way I don’t have to spend all my time going all over the planet for class.
So um yeah I meant this to be more cheerful and have more then just a rant but I’m sort of bored with writing now and my computer is really starting to burn the crap out of my leg so I’m going to go and hopefully I have something better for you next time.
Oh here’s something possibly cheerful, I may have talked my sister in going down to Ohio for the wrock show in Akron which I’m really hoping will happen because I really want to go even if it is really far it’s the second closest show and I already missed the closest one but it’s okay because if I had gone to the one is Harper Woods then I wouldn’t be able to see All Caps who I’m really excited for. So yay happy.

p.s. I’m really not as depressed as the blogging would lead a person to believe. I am this bored but not so depressed.

p.p.s. I just wanted to add in a couple pictures so the first is at my sister’s graduation and the second two I took in my backyard a couple weeks ago.

Pen Contest

Really quick, I’m entered in a contest to win a new camera and $5,000. You may have seen something about it if you are on youtube ever recently. I really want to win (obviously otherwise I wouldn’t be entered ) but the trouble is that in order to even be considered for winning first you need to have the top twenty votes. As we know I have a slight problem with invisibility and people tend to ignore my videos (seriously I have one with 0 views) and now Nina from the Moaning Myrtles has entered and has Hank Green on her side thus putting all of Nerdfighteria against me. The video has been up for two days and so far I only have two votes which is not going to help me. As it is I know I won’t win because of the invisibility factor but I still and trying and I would like to at least have a fighting chance. So if you guys could do me a favor and please just thumb up my video I would really really really appreciate it.
