exactly one week on the clock.

one week and i'll never have to follow a school dress code, be restricted on cell phone use, be counted tardy, have my mom pack my lunch, and store my stuff in my locker ever again.

its the little things that really matter in the end.

so i've been walking around getting all these people to sign my yearbook, and as im reading, much of the stuff is the same. so many have said that they thought of me as this very nice, but shy and outspoken person in the past, but that i have come out of my shell and they have really enjoyed getting to know me. this is an interesting thought. i know this year has been a pretty big year for me, i've gotten to know a lot of new and interesting and great people and to be dorkily honest i think a lot of that has to do with my photography (of course i think everything in my life is a result of the photography, haha). taking pictures as much as i do i feel ive made a name for myself. i guess that sounds conceited but its given something for people to know me for and has served as grounds for numerous new relationships. i am grateful to have been given the abilities and opportunities i have to be able to be where i am today and to do what i do. it's an awesome ride and each day is fun, exciting, and wonderful. if i could wake up with the one i love beside me each day i'd be happy as a bump on a stick, believe it.

we live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do.

i have ants in my pants...and no i dont mean that literally and its not an std. im ready to do this. i'm ready for june and all it will be. im ready to do that one thing i know i must do otherwise risky permanent insanity.

its gonna be a good next few weeks i have a feeling.
