Busy Busy Busy

Yeah I know. It's been a while. I have just been so busy these past couple weeks, and truth be told, haven't been watching very many movies. School is winding down, so of course that means there is a TON of work to do. My Anatomy class is taking up my life, and my final project for Photography is taking a lot of time, too. My photography project is very enjoyable, however. I have to make a portfolio with 8 photos. They have to be professionally matted and printed, have a theme, and I have to write an artist statement. I am super proud of what I've done so far, and I love my theme. I am recreating iconic things from movies! I really love my pictures and I'm waiting to show everyone until everything is finished. I want it to be a surprise and for it to be seen all at once. So I have been shooting almost constantly when I'm not working, sleeping, or going to school it seems like, and now I have been matting, writing my statement, AND I have to work on a presentation for that class. Like I said, I'm very very busy, but I'm enjoying it.

A lot of other stuff has been going on lately, too. A week ago I turned 20. (Woo!!) I had a pretty good birthday. Got to see all of my friends and got an awesome gift from my parents and had the BEST birthday cake. Right now it's not letting me put pictures, but if you click on my flickr link to the right, you can see pictures of it. My dad made it for me, and that's a big deal because the last time he made me a birthday cake, I was 9 and there were pokemon on it. (Tomboy??) Anyways, went to dinner at Outback for prime rib (of course they didn't have any), ate cake, had lunch with my good friends Elizabeth and Britton, had a light show at work, Jordan got me Coldstone, and Elizabeth, Britton and I went to Macomb to see Erin. It was a lot of fun and I FINALLY got prime rib. (Outback, you were bested by a steakhouse in Macomb) annnd we ate more birthday cake. haha. Besides my birthday celebrations, we did the first half of closing on my house in Arizona on Friday. I feel so accomplished and grown up. It's weird. Arizona is actually becoming real again, and that makes it all the more exciting and nerve-racking. Just so much exciting (and not-so-exciting) stuff going on right now. 

Anyway, back to the point of this post. School will be over soon, and I will finally be able to get back in to watching movies again. I've got an extremely long Netflix queue, plus there are a lot of movies coming out this summer that I'm super excited about. Just have to make it through three more weeks!
