It's been a little over a month since I last posted anything. I feel like that's sort of sad but I wish I had more to say. I shot a wedding three weekends ago and that turned out great! I thought the pictures came out better than any of my past wedding experiences and it was all the better that it was for one of my friends. Unfortunately I'm not very progressive about getting my photography business up and running so all my work comes just from happenstance and whenever my friends need a photographer. My favorite thing about shooting weddings has to be really good free food. At least most the time it's really good, the other part of the time it's just free which is also good!
I went to go to ABtech the other day since I had some business there regarding art, etc. I ended up speaking with Sharon the art director and I mentioned that I was looking forward to working as the lab monitor as the semester starts back up in August. Before I haven't been able to be the monitor as I didn't receive financial aid but as of a few days ago I applied for FAFSA so hopefully that will work out for me. It would really be a godsend to be lab monitor because there's only one ceramics class as opposed to the four we had last semester (due to art cuts). So because of that I wouldn't have had a chance to practice pottery at all at college anyways. If I get the position I'll get paid for it though! I'm sort of ready for school to start again. Ready to get through all this bullshit at ABtech, been there far too long.
I was curious the other day about the ongoing nuclear situation in Japan as our media doesn't cover any of it anymore... It's amazing how as soon as the media stops covering something it might as well not even exist. The nuclear problem in Fukushima and all over Japan however DOES still exist. Almost four months after the earthquake and tsunami there's still very little progress on actually fixing the problem and from what I've read they just plan on cementing the nuclear reactor inside of what will be a nuclear tomb. I read the the fuel rods may not be cool enough to remove from the reactor until 100 years from now. I just don't understand why nuclear seems like a good idea to our leaders... Makes me feel depressed all over again as I did on March 11th and the days following.
