Descanse en paz, mi querida abuelita. Te quiero mucho. <3
If you’ve been sort of following my blog in recent months, you’re probably aware of my “Daily 365” project. And if you are, then you’re probably also aware that I haven’t even touched it for almost two months. Eww, I know. Ugh. :/
It’s not as easy as I thought it’d be to be quite honest. I know some may be thinking “…how hard is it to just a picture and post it?” WELL, like I was telling a friend the other day, it was fun at the beginning, but as time passed I felt like it started to feel like a chore more than something fun I wanted to do for myself. So, I stopped. I’m sure I’ll want to do it again…maybe next year. But it just didn’t work out for me this time around.
Moving on…
I started a new part-time job about three weeks ago as a portrait photographer.
It’s exactly what I thought it’d be. So, that’s good. The downside is that I don’t work many hours in the week. :/ It’s like, I understand it’s a part-time job and I am in school two days a week, but damn. I guess I was so used to working before longer shifts and more days in the week. I suppose it is what it is. I just gotta focus on doing an amazing job as their photographer and focus on learning as much as I can while I’m at it.
Plus, I need to spend more time on studying my new major. Graphic design is definitely a whole other ball game. There’s just so many little tedious elements to it that I haven’t even processed yet. But I’m sure I’ll get there. I’m currently trying to grasp my understanding of how the damn pen tool works and how Adobe Illustrator works…Oh, Gawd, and InDesign -____________-
Haha. But all in all, I know it’s what I need to know in order to proceed this the industry. I’m considering this my second attempt to revamp my knowledge and go out into the world already KNOWING what a cruel world looks like (job hunting-wise, of course!)
I guess that’s all for now. Dang, I didn’t mean to write this much. Oh, well. It’ll give you guys something to read while I figure out what I’ll be posting up next. Take care, guys! :)
