Just one of those days...

No offense to my coaches, but I really needed a mental and physical break today. For a year now I've dedicated so much time to being a runner, I've neglected the other things I thought I used to be. They're probably gonna kill me tomorrow for cutting practice but the fatigue is just getting to me and photography is such a huge part of who I am.

So I decided to miss out on practice to fulfill my duties as Photo Club president. I don't regret it. So rejuvenating to speak to the man who has shown me so much about photography. So alleviating to speak to people who are just as passionate as I am about the art. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to run but sometimes you need a break a few days before conference to recompose. (That's mainly why they'll kill me; I decide to skip out on practice on the most important week of the season.)

It was worth every second. The freshman are learning quickly! It's amazing how much our numbers have grown; we shot up from ten to about thirty. I hope it stays that way. It was fantastic to see them getting along so well; not many of them were shy. Here are a few I took today.

And now to work on art projects deep into the night... 

Ah-hem...

I've hit that brick wall again. The one that insists that I be critical about every aspect of every other teenager on this planet. I'm pestered is all. I don't know, but I just feel being a teenager has become this massive eye roll.

Doesn't help that in English we're reading about these cool dudes that used to get together at a bagel shop in 'Frisco and spit poetry all the while having jazz playing in the background.

I need to be culturally enriched... Feed me. I'm starving.

ENOUGH OF CAPTAIN BRING DOWN.


Photo Club has started up again! The program is so young and I feel so old what with my being a senior and the first quarter nearly being done. I'M NOT READY TO LET GO!

The mission: 2 of the sky, 1 of a tree, 1 of a leaf, 4 of flowers, and 2 of sunsets.
