A few weeks later..

I'm into my second week of working at Black's. Goodness there's lots to learn. Everyday I'm learning more and more! I forgot how tiring it was to make your brain work! So far so good though, the ladies I work with are fab and Ms. W is super sweet. Not much else to really say about it at this point.. Other than I now understand why places like Black's charge more for their prints... 10x better than Wally-World!!!! I was absolutely floored seeing the difference. I had printed off the same photo (Both from my thumb drive, and on a Kiosk) at each place, and was horrified by what I got from Wally-Mart!!! Needless to say, I'm sticking with Black's printing from now on foresure! (as much as I adore you folks at the Lab! I promise I'll still visit! =D ) So make a note to yourself, DON'T BE CHEAP AND GO TO WALMART, HAVE NICE PICS AND SPEND A FEW CENTS MORE AND GET FANTASTIC PHOTOS!
Another thing new and exciting in my little life is that I'm chopping off my mop Thursday morning! Eeek! My hair is awful and I just downright feel ugly most days. So I've decided I'm doing something different, and hopefully cutting off enough to donate my hair to Locks of Love, or something similar. I really hope I have enough hair to help out! I am trying to have this whole new outlook on life of starting fresh, and trying to look at things in a more positive light, and I think cutting off the hair is the first step! Oh maybe the second step! My first step was buying a pair of POINTY high heels! Not quite sure where I'll wear them to though, but I thought a girl has got to have a pair of pointy heels. It's so weird, I love shoes, but yet I never buy any nice ones? Make sense? No.
On a different note, I think I'm going to have to re-plan my life for the next two years. I thought I had 'er just about figured out. But quitting Lifetouch COMPLETELY changed how things were going to work. I really really really really wanted to take a Photography-type course. The one I was looking at runs for 20 weeks, during the days. So now with this new job, it's not going to work... I hope I can find a similar course, so that I can create myself a career. Because right now, as bad as it sounds, I feel stuck. Hence, the new push to make changes in my little life. Ahhhh I'm getting flustered just thinking about what to do with myself.
One last thing. Completely random. So "I" (my parents, whom I owe money to now) bought a D60 in April. That being said, April was 5 months ago already... Obviously. I really wish I would have done some more research on what I wanted in a camera... Well i suppose at the time the D60 was what I wanted in a camera (looking for an entry-level DSLR). NOW though, I really want for sure a "prime" lens. (The 50mm f1.4 to be exact).. Prime basically meaning no zoom.. BUT this gosh darn D60 isn't compatible with the lenses I'm wanting. I was so upset when I found this out, because I've been literally dreaming of fall coloured bokeh in the background of my future portraits I hope to take. But no, my dreams were smushed. Now I'm really wishing I would have either a) purchased at least a D80 OR b) gone with one of the Rebels or 40D.. something of the sort. To top it off my camera with the same lens can now be purchased for $599 as opposed to $799 when I got mine. (Realistically I suppose it's not the end of the world. A good back up camera in the future). It's still just so darn frustrating!
Anyway, I shall stop ranting, because I think I'm just having a bad evening! Sweet dreams to all and for myself.
