::Going Digital Today::

So today I played outside again, mainly because I have a project due Thursday and since my film was ruined I had to go digital today and get some shots.

::Ugh Walgreens::

So after a fun filled day of shooting around Camden & Electrical parks, I took my roll of film to Walgreens to be put on a CD.

Well I come home with my CD and realize only 5 shots were developed.

However, when I looked at the negatives I could see that my pictures were there partical and overexposed.

Took them back and this is what the shift manager said "Well I guess our photo sale associate was having a bad day. I'll make sure I tell her to be more careful next time." I asked/told him, I need a refund, because this was not my fault. And of course he says "Oh I cannot do that, it is your risk bringing your film to us, even though you are right and she developed your film wrong."

I am never ever going to walgreens everrr again!

:::Learning:::::

So my dad, who is awesome by the way, let me borrow his SLR from back in the 90's.
This thing is great, it is huge and many filters to choose and learn from, only drawback....
It's not DIGITAL! I knew I was spolied but goodness it was so hard not being able to click back through my photos and check on the lighting etc.
But I love it and I am learning how to use the flashes and filters.
Here was day one of learningThese were all taken at the Red Wing Park, Virginia Beach.

Remember this was practice! :]

::I wanna ride my bicycle, I wanna ride my bike::

So today I went on a nine mile bike ride.
I loved it, I mean it was hard, not easy at all.
The wind really did not help, but I love a challenge & I loved it!

One thing I loved strolling in Camden was looking at the farm land and landscape.
It was gorgeous seeing the crops, and wild animals. I do love electric fences that is for sure.
We almost got chased from three dogs! Ah!
But back to God's creation, it was beautiful and relaxing.

I am excited to announce that I will have been married for one complete year tomorrow!
I love my husband, he is completely awesome and loving. We compliment each other very well.
Being married to a hot and great man of God is a blessing.
I am blessed!

:]

::::Photography Class::::

So I am trying this photography thing, I don't want to be professional photographer. I don't have the talent or money for that.

But I joined a photography class, my first assignment was to take a picture of a flower.

So here is my first shot, and my only shot at the time.


I guess it came out ok?!?! I think my flower looks a little fake. But we shall see.

Andddd, I love my hubby!

:full time, finally:

So I am really really bored today, because I am sick. I think my KFC orginal chicken was not cooked all the way, and the sucky thing is Joe pointed out that my meat looked bad. Ugh! So now I am sick, watching Law & Order SVU & CI marathon and NCIS.

Oh on a good note, on Sunday May 24, it will be my one year anniversary as Mrs. Burton. Pretty crazy how fast one year has gone bye. I would say it feels like we have been married longer, haha. But our first year has been a success, today a lot of married couples don't make it past 6 months. :\ I think the next year to come will be a little harder with making career plans and moving. So that will be funnnn. But I am ready for whatever comes.

Last thing, I want a bike. I'm a child.

:The Beginning of My Last College Summer:

Every summer I try to find something that I can do that relaxes me, something that I stay physically in shape and something that pays the bills.

So far, I have join a photography teaching club thing, and I am running as many 5K's this summer, and of course I work at Girls Inc.

This Saturday will be my first 5k since high school at the Potato Festival. Ahhh it is nerve wreaking but I am ready and excited!

Oh last thing, I am making as many trips as possible to see friends and family. Most likely this will be the last summer my family is in Virginia and maybe the last time I am in NC.

Have to make the most out of this summer!

Exams!!!

I like and hate exams.
I like exams because it is the last assignment to finish a class. Which means summer is around the corner!
I hate exams, because you have to study your butt off for a test that could last 10 minutes and you studied 2-6 hours.

But on a cheerful note, I only have a few left. Then I have one semester of lecture classes and then a semester of student teaching. aMaZiNg!!!

Ok, gotta study!

:almost done:

school work has not stressed me....
people have stressed me....
i'm usually one that ignores what people say about me....
but for some odd reason it is now bugging me, and i do not like it.....
why do people have to be cruel, esp when you do not do a thing but breath.....
i just do not get it....
yea sometimes i will make comments but then i take it back because is was rude....
but i do not intentionally want to hurt anyone.....
are some people created evil....?

i hate to say that i am happy the school year is ending....
its a bitter sweet kind of thing.....
i will miss some but others, eh no.....

i cannot believe i have one semester left of classes...
it is odd to think in the spring i will be doing my student teaching, then graduating....
it is almost time to finish my last chapter here at MACU....
i am ready to start a new book soon....
