First off, I don't even remember the last time that I wrote a blog; I definitely need to get back in the groove of doing so. For the past two months, I have been through the only ups and downs--like any regular human being of course.
So yeah, I quit my OL "job" for reasons that I won't mention besides me being mentally tired and, quite frankly, I was unhappy. The summer was fun and I had an amazing time, but during the year the duties were just... how should I put it... drab? Not to mention the pay was not what we all intended. So that's just one thing off of my plate.
School's a pain in my ass. To be quite honest, two of my professors are LATE (that means whack, trash, etc.), especially my Black Studies professor. I swear to goodness one day we're really going to go at it one of these days before the semester is over. I can't stand people who are so stern and set in their ways that they can't at least see they're in the wrong. Everyone has their beliefs, but it's only fair to leave room for error--something he must've not heard of. On top of that, Photojournalism--so I've found--is definitely not my cup of tea. Photography, yes, but photojournalism? I can live without. I feel like it doesn't leave room for expression; too much structure, too many guidelines. I need something with more creativity, so on that note I'll just have photography be a hobby rather than a prospective career interest.
Speaking of prospective career interests, I decided to change my major to Radio and Television Production. Journalism is cool, but I really thought about it and I think (yes, still thinking) that television or radio is the way to go even if it's behind the scenes. I have a mission to make my voice heard about equality and change, and radio and television would be a better avenue so to speak.
On a brighter note, my significant other and I have been doing quite well for almost seven months (we'll make seven on Sunday). That is all.
So yes, people, I have been living somewhat of a roller coaster. At the end of the day, still, I have my dance team to look forward to (Blue and Orange weekend is coming up woot woot), my friends to count on, and my family (well select family) to lean on. I'm still trying to keep my head up despite the loco teachers and the outside drama. I'll make it better... just watch...
