How is everybody doing? I know it has been quite a while since the last time I updated you guys on what is going on in my wonderful and exciting (not really wonderful or exciting but i had to make a point) life here in Louisville and in Northern Kentucky. This post will be an update on just about everything since the last time i posted something.
Ok, where to start... hmm let's see here.. how about the beginning of the semester! Well.. this semester started off as a pretty cold one. I had to wear several layers of clothes just to walk to class. We had two snow days as well. During the snow days my roommates and I played in the snow, explored the ice covered campus and took some photos.
My classes this semester were pretty interesting, I started out with 5: Art of the Book, Documentary Photo, Art History, English 291, and Spanish 2. A few weeks into the semester I dropped Spanish 2. My other classes were pretty interesting this semester,
English class... well it was English class, i think my professor may be slightly insane.. but aren't we all? Overall, it was an easy class.
Art History- I had this class once a week on Monday nights. I learned a lot from this class. We talked about Art in the 21st Century and how certain styles and movements have changed over the years.
Documentary Photo- for this class, I had to volunteer at a local non profit organization and document my experience there through photographs. I volunteered at a place called Redwood. It was very hard for me at first, after a few visits, talking and interacting with everyone got a little easier, towards the end there was a lot of miscommunication with the staff and visits where harder to schedule. I am happy that class is finished now, I have never really been a fan of photographing people.
Lastly, Art of the Book- this class was pretty fun. Basically, we made 2 different kinds of books, looked through photo books, and learned different styles and techniques used in photo books. I made an accordion book from Guatemala photos I have taken, and i made and published a book about the Disney trips my family has taken. I included the link to the book below. There is a 15 page preview to how you part of my book. Feel free to order it if you'd like :) I reccommend getting the hard back book, the soft cover tends to warp and not close all the way. I also have a $10 off coupon you can use. just type in eduCreateQ29 into the discount/coupon box. Or.. if you would rather have free shipping.. type in hpfreeshipping into the discount/coupon box.
That is about all that has been going on at school. I just took my last exam yesterday, so I am home for a short break (approximately 4 days) then I am heading back to NKU for a 3 week summer class. I am taking Biological photography, in this class we are going to take photos through microscopes, close-ups of plants and animals, and a number of other biologically oriented photographs. I am looking forward to this class, I think that I will learn a lot from this class and am exciting to be taking it.
In other news... as most of you know we got a puppy! On February 15, Lexi was added to our family :) She is a darker colored yorkie and spoiled rotten. About a month ago, she jumped off the couch and broke her right front leg. She had surgery and had a pin put in it. She is almost completely healed, but because the weather has been so crappy lately, she still tends to limp around and not use her right front leg. The Vet said it won't be too much longer and she will be completely healed.
My sister, Katie, got a new car about a month ago as well. She got a new car because, she was driving one evening, lost control of her car, flipped, and totaled it. She walked away unharmed and shaken up. Thank Goodness.
My Grandma Judy, found out she had a staph infection in her foot, was rushed to the hospital and has surgery on her foot. About a week ago she had her gallbladder removed as well. She is currently living in my living room and my mom has been taking care of her.
That is about all that has been going on lately with me. I am going to try my best to keep updating this on time. Hope everyone is having a great day!
