Travel

I want to go so many places, but it's not easy. I want to plan in advance, but things change. I have no idea what I will be doing next summer. I really really want to study abroad, but I feel like that takes a lot of planning too. It will be worth it though. Planning stresses me out, but it shouldn't. I just worry too much unnecessarily. Anyways, I want to travel.

The top three places I want to go are:

-India

-The UK

-Japan

Where do you want to go? Where have you been?

A Year in the Life

Taking a picture everyday is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

So is trying to take a picture of my earring while wearing it.

I think it would be easier if I was at school, but once I get home I tend to spend my time playing games, watching movies, and sitting around with my family or Zac. It's nice to rest and relax, but it isn't really photo worthy activities. I end up waiting until about 11.30, realizing I haven't taken any photos yet, and then snapping a few shots of something. Bleh. I want to go out and take pictures, I just don't know where. Really I just want to take pictures of people. I like people the best.

Today makes a week that I have been home. Sadly I can't say that I have done much. I guess I better get started. The summer will be over before I know it. What do you do for fun on rainy summer days? I need to make something.

It's Summer

My last final was today which means my first year of college is over. It is officially summertime.
