Ohhh how this blog frustrates me sometimes.
I highlight all my text just to change the font and then it gets deleted for some odd reason. This happens everytime! I just wrote a heart felt entry on my first semester of college and what a great time I am having at Regent. Then all the text disappears and I can't get any of it back. So I wrote this instead because I'm too tired to rewrite the whole post.
Oh well.
1 semester down, 7 more to go.

Year Long Goals
Have you heard of the 365 photo challenge?
Well it's basically where you take one photo everyday for a year and post it to...well whatever social network you like.
I have decided that I will take this challenge starting Christmas day. I'm thinking of posting every picture for this project on facebook as well as making a Tumblr account. With the Tumblr I'm hoping to post mini stories of my day or whatever random thoughts I think up that go along with the picture. It's mainly for fun but we will see where it all goes by Christmas 2011.
34 days until Christmas! I haven't been this excited for Christmas for a while. I think it is because I have a new understanding of God and Jesus. Perhaps it is just the joy that I can do so much for other now. I don't really know but I am excited!

Oooowwweee
Well today was a good day. Class was fun and I was in an overall happy mood...or at least I was until I went to the dentist today. My reason for heading to the dentist was to get 4 teeth pulled, and no, they weren't wisdom teeth. I have braces and my orthodontist told me I had too many teeth in my mouth so that is why they were pulled.
It didn't hurt thanks to all the numbing shots. They gave me 10 in total which numbed me up so much that my eye lids even went numb. It really wasn't that bad but I did pysch myself out so much that I was sweating and shaking. At one point the dentist ask me what I was saying, I hadn't realized I was mumbling my inner prayers out loud. It was funny trying to talk afterwards but I didn't enjoy the awkward tingling all over my face. I've always wondered why everything feels so swollen when your numb.
As of now I lay in my bed, watching television, and playing tetris while trying to avoid pain with the medication they gave me. The numbness is gone and I'm thankful for that. Tomorrow is suppose to be the day of ultimate pain but my lovely mother has stocked me up with a stack of good movies, comfy slippers, and soup! God Bless all the Mommas out there. Of course...I'll have to do some homework in between there but overall it should be a slightly pleasant day tomorrow.

Fall Break
Well I just got back home from Pittsburgh and it's sort of bittersweet. I love my routine and everything I'm involved in but it is always nice to get away to relax and spend time with family. I feel a sense of adventure whenever I'm leaving the Virginia Beach area and a little bit of dread when I head back. Of course I always feel better when I'm comfortably in my home but some days I just want to hop on a train, bus, or plane and head somewhere I have never been before. I just love traveling I guess. J
I usually drive up to PA with my mom and brother but since fall break started before they could get off of work and school I took a 14 hour trip on a train to get to Pittsburgh. To be honest it was the best trip ever! I don't know what it is about the train that was so relaxing but I loved it! It was very peaceful and scenic. I'm hoping to take the train again when I go to D.C. this weekend for the Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert rally! By the way the train stop in D.C. is off the chain! It's three stories and filled with shops, restaurants, memorabilia, and beautiful architect! Oh, and there was some beautiful graffiti. I'm hoping to post a video of all of this as soon as I can get it together but right now I need to get some sleep before my 8 am class. Ahhh! 8 am! I miss vacation already. Haha.

My First Film Shoot!
I have just completed my first film shoot!
We'll technically we are in post production but I'm not apart of that process. Seeing as this was my very first film shoot I have to say it was a pretty excellent experience. We all met at starbucks at 730 which means I had to get my butt out of bed at 545ish. It takes me about 15 minutes to really get out of bed. After a few runs to the dollar store, a parade of cars to our location, and the transformation of a house to a set...we began! It was a long day but it was certainly fun. If there was an award for Best Food from the Director in the 48 it would certainly go to Eric. He bought us all catered food from Rose Bay Seafood! I worked with a good crew. Everyone got along well and was funny. We all worked efficently together and ended an hour earlier than Eric and Scott had originally planned. By the way props to the rest of my crew Alex our screenwriter and cam op who stayed up almost 38 hours straight, Tara who drove all the way from Elizabeth city and help with set up & tear down, Justin who is now in the process of editing with Eric and Scott, JP who starred in the film as well as set up and torn down everything, and Alicia who also starred in the film.
The worst part of the whole experience, if I had to pick a worst part, was how hot the lights got. I mean...I was sweating at one point! It was intense but it was good. Almost too good. I'm afraid the film shoots I'm on from here on out won't live up but I won't know that until I find out and I can't wait to find out!
