second-to-last friday

I was stupid today and didn’t bring my new stuff in to scan during portfolio class. I have a few color photos and some black and white selfs that I want to post… but no. So, after this post I’ll put up a few old things- I mean, I don’t have any photos on here at all.

It’s cold and rainy in Boston today :( I hope I don’t get a cold. My jeans are all wet and are making my feet feel icky. We’re taking the T in an hour to go to the Robert Klein gallery, then in handmade books we’re going to the Houghton Library. I’m pretty excited for that, I mean, we get to see a bunch of old books and stuff!

I’m thinking I’m going to apply mainly to liberal arts colleges instead of art schools.. :O I really want to do English lit. What I’ll do for a living is up in the air.. maybe a librarian. Being around books all day seems like heaven to me :) I really want to go to school in Boston, so I’m looking at Tufts. Boston College seemed cool until I found out it was Catholic. Idk. I wish I was smart enough to go to Brown; maybe I’ll just take a shot in the dark and apply. I really.really.really need to get a better score on my SAT- especially math. I’m going to have to buckle down this fall!

Mkay. Gonna upload some photos now.

rachel’s flikr is go!

I finally got my Flikr set up! Visit it here:

redo

It’s been a while- I’m at camp in Boston. For a month (since July 5th, until August 1st.) In my portfolio prep class she said that having a blog is a really good thing to do to put yourself out there. So, I’m going to make this my photoblog!

So far I do not have internet in my room (I’m getting it fixed soon, tomorrow hopefully) which is why I haven’t been updating. It’s really been killing me! But oh well.

Most people here are nice. I feel like crap next to the other photographers, but oh well. I’m having fun and learning a lot. Like, a lot. I have basically my whole senior year mapped out for college.

I miss Devon a lot, though :(

My room mate and my other two friends here went to see Harry Potter yesterday. It was so. good. I want to see it again now, and I can’t wait for the next one..(s)

Mkay well I’m trying to upload crap to flikr and it’s taking forever. I guess I’ll upload some black and whites here now?

bai

hi all

Today was a good day :)

I got up and did a lot of yoga. Immediately after I saw Transformers 2 with Sammie. I love talking to Sam, she’s so nice and always has something to say, and you know, I love to listen. The movie was good if a little long, but it was an excellent sequel to the first one (which was awesome!) However, my favorite part of the movie was seeing the Harry Potter 6 trailer!!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT MOVIE. Honestly, if they don’t let me see it at camp, I will cry. And I’ll sacrifice a day of touring Boston freely with my mom to see that thing as soon as I’m checked out.

As soon as the movie got out Devon texted me, so Sam was nice enough to drop me off at Market Street so I could see him (he was at a restaurant with his parents.) I spent the rest of the afternoon with him (in pure love-bliss), then he took me home. My dad came and we went out to eat at Applebee’s.

Came home. I redid my portfolio for the prep class I’m taking. I was going to do ballet, but my mom came home too early, and I stalled and now I don’t really want to do it at twelve. I think I’ll just wake up early (going to sleep early…) and do it in the morning before yoga.

Tomorrow Devon and I are having a vegan picnic dinner. I’m going to make “choco” chip cookies, banana waffles, steam some veggies (or make corn if it isn’t bad) and have some strawberries and apples. Yummy, right? I think so :)

yoga& bread& stuff

I made vegan bread for the first time this morning! I have to say, I like it a lot more than my old bread. It rose a lot more and is nice and fluffy (or airy? idk, not as thick.) My old bread was sort of vegan, I guess, but it had honey. Although I could have easily substituted the honey for agave, but y’know… This recipe was nice because it didn’t required as much time for kneading, rising, and it even baked quicker and still produced two loaves. My last recipe required SO MUCH rising time and I had to knead it for 20 minutes if I wanted two loaves! So it was a bit of a hassle…

Last night I also made the most adorable stuffed elephant! I named him Cedric :3 If I take pictures of him I’ll post. I used this pattern.

I think I’m going to take the SAT again this year.. ugh. Thankfully I know I won’t have to take the ACT again. I’m also considering taking the English Subject Tests as well, I mean, I got a 710 on the English part of my SAT, so I know I’ll do well on it. Just have to study! I think I’ll take them December 5th. I wish they had the AP test days up..!

I told Devon I would help him coordinate all of his applications and things for college. So far he wants to apply to 13 different colleges; I’m hoping that I can convince him not to apply to a couple that I know he doesn’t like as much. My dad said that now they have a “common application,” which I’m thankful for- he won’t have to write a bunch of different essays. I need to find all of my deadlines, too… I think they’ll have them posted my August or September.

UGH college! I’m thankful it’s senior year, but I have all this stuff to think about….!!!

My mom gave me some of her old yoga sequences from yoga journal, I’m about to go try them out (hence the title :D)
