neglect this thing.
i'll feel like i've moved on, but i just keep coming back to you, livejournal.
life is really crazy right now. it's all about college college college. i have mine narrowed down and i need to apply, write my essays, get my letters of recommendations, and take the SATs. i know i'll do fine on the verbal portion, but i'm worried about the math since it's never been my forte. we'll see what happens and fingers crossed.
my summer was really great. i had an internship working in the photo department of the university of pittsburgh and met some really nice, cool people and made some very decent connections. emotionally, it was a roller coaster, but it was awesome looking back at it all.
now i'm doing an internship, along with my friend alice, at the carnegie art museum helping them work with their life on mars exhibit, getting people to open about how certain pieces make them feel and do some blogging. we get free admission to the museum and get to hear a bunch of the artist within the collection speak. it's really neat and alice and i love going into the museum and fucking around.
i just really want it to be october/december right now. after october 4th, i'll (hopefully) be done with the sats and have most of my college stuff sorted out. and then december is when i turn 18! good lord, i cannot wait. ~*legality, here i come.

sometimes i remember the past and how things used to be and i really miss them. i miss how simplistic life was, how easy it was to make decisions/deal with their repercussions. i miss how people used to be, i miss the places i used to go. every now and then, i'll miss how innocent i used to be.
but that being said, i love the present. i still have a lot to sort and figure out, but i'm slowly becoming the person i want to be. but i can't help but feel a sense of anxiety mixed with the burning desire of time to speed up and for me to be where i want to be, right now. but then i laugh and realize all the fun is in the shit that happens between now and then.
my mind is everywhere right now and i'm a bit scared. |

summer.
i'm beyond happy. this year was excruciatingly painful to get through but now i'm finally done. i'm now going to be able to relax and spend time with everyone i love and care about. i'm also doing an internship at the university of pittsburgh's photographic services department, which i'm really excited about starting up. next year i'm going to be a senior and am really going to be focusing on my art and apply to the schools that appeal to me. yay(: |

again, i'm really sorry for pretending like i'm dead. i've been really busy lately and i have about a month left of school, which i'm so so so happy about.
so on saturday night i went to see tegan and sara with my friends alex and jess. it was at this sort of ghost town, greensburgh, pa, in a tiny little theatre. the whole thing felt really intimate. here are some of the pictures i took at the show from my deviantart:

the girls were so cute and nice...they interacted with the audience on numerous occasions. there was a funny bit where tegan saw a guy in the audience and said "dude, you look miserable....did your girlfriend drag you here?" but the show itself was amazing. they are incredible live. they played pretty much every song i love by them, even "fix it up" during their encore. i also got a t-shirt from the merch booth at the entrance of the theatre:
all in all, i had an amazing time(:
p.s. molly steadman, please gtfo. thanks! |

today was really great.
i was roused bright and early by my mother so we could take the train to the temple university campus for our tour. we got there and were ushered into this room where they presented us with a video and a bunch of facts and figures. my initial impression of the campus wasn't spectacular but after one of our student guides lead us around for a bit, it started to grow on me. about 3/4 of the way through, my mom and i had to break away so we could make our 1:00 tour at the university of the arts. i got there and there were about 4 other kids there, all looking the part of soon-to-be art students. after we were introduced to our tour guide, who was a really cool senior girl, we went off into the campus. i absolutely loved it. it's right in the heart of city and the facilities are all so nice. everything technical is apple driven, which is great. the dark rooms made my heart skip a beat and the ability to branch out is amazing (i could focus on photography or graphic art while taking a brazilian drumming class if i wanted to) the academic requirements to get in are pretty much where i'm at and the primary focus of admissions is of course going to be a analysis of your artistic talent. the classrooms were all so informal...students were sitting on desks talking and teachers were sitting down next to students talking to them about their work and speaking to them like complete equals. i'm most definitely applying there and crossing my fingers that i get in. i took some photos while there:![](http://i28.tinypic.com/2jc7jo5.jpg")
these girls were working while our group passed by their studio. all the art on the walls is their's.
someone's concentration/thesis piece on the philadelphia mummers parade. 
i found this really cool thrown away print in the trash while in the color procressing room haha
afterwards my mom and i went to get our nails done and i ended up requesting strawberries on my toes:
ignore how hideously ugly my feet are.
tomorrow i'm going to have lunch with a friend and catch up and should be doing some shopping(:
love from philly!

i'm sorry for seeming dead. i've been insanely busy with school, work, and social things. my spring break is coming up soon and i'm going to be going to philly to look at schools with my mom as well as new york city again for a day. i'm really excited(:
i really don't like the fact that i'm 17. i've also come to realize that age is just a number when it comes to relationships and that it's all about the mental connection.
i've acquired haarp and absolutely adore it. i blasted it in my friend alex's car for her and my friend colin and they both approved.
life is crazy, but good. |
