Through My Lens

This week has been full of ups and downs.

Up: Spending time with my wonderful Josh.
Down: Paying taxes.
Up: Preparing screenings for the Invisible Children documentary.
Down: Finding out my film wasn’t accepted in several festivals.
Up: Dad getting closer to a job offer.
Down: Placing in the elementry range on an algebra placement exam.
Up: Having great meals and conversations with family.
Down: The stress of always being in the right place at the right time with the right amount of energy.

But I’m not down today.
I’m getting that feeling that I have near the end of every semester when I feel like I know the people at school and can actually have conversations with them.
I’m also getting excited about summer and all my big plans.
Excited for the Rescue Rally.
Excited for camping.
Excited for roadtripping.
Excited for New York.
I’m even excited about next semester, believe it or not. I already know the classes I want to take. Registration opens tomorrow. I’m planning on 16 credit hours, which is more than I’ve ever taken at once. But I’ll be so much closer to my degree.
I’m enjoying this lovely sunny day from the comfort of my van, while munching on Trader Joes bars and cereal.
Watching the sun filter through the branches of a flowering purple tree.
I’m pretty happy.

And check out the awesome new shirt that I shall be sporting through the month of April!
