That Dreadful Bus!

That makes me think of enchanted. "Nobody stabs MY bus!!"
lol
:)
I'm going to interupt myself for just a moment here:
My teacher had us send him an email with an attatched picture and a link in it. His emphesis was on correctly writing the messege as if you were sending a messege to a client or boss. So I did mine (I wasn't really paying attention, so I was worried I had done it wrong) and then the teacher called me over to his desk. Uh, oh, I thought. So I went up and he told me that I was doing "super" and he wanted to know what I was going to major in and then told me that he was really proud of me. Then he told me that I was doing really well and one day I would be very successful and that I should remember that he said it first. :) It was cute (he's a really big russian guy) So, obviously I was relieved. But it was cool and I thought I'd say that.

Okay, back to the Bus. Yuch!
So, Mom has this thing about me riding the bus to or from school, and somehow I've always managed to get myself out of it. Until today. I have to ride the bus home and, unless I walk, there is no way of getting out of it. And even thought the bus is terribly slow it would still be faster to ride the bus. I'm nervous. I'm going to walk to the transfer station so that I don't have to pay for a transfer ticket and I don't know how long it will take, so I'm going to give myself like 30-45 minutes to walk there and I'll probably get there way too early, but at least I won't miss the bus.
I sorta have a confession to make. I argued with my Mom last night about it and I was angry even until today (the ride here with her wasn't too pleasant). I was at fault. Even had I been correct, which I wasn't, i still would have been at fault. She's my Mother for mike's sake! i have plenty of reasons to be kind and long suffering and patient and loving, and no right to debate what she says. God put her over me, an I ought to obey her without question, even if I think it doesn't make sense, or I think it's scary.
Even though, I'm still terrified of taking the bus, I'm sorry that I was angry and I know that my aunt will read this and tell my Mom what I said. :) (thank you, btw)

:) "Thank you Jesus. I am shaking like a leaf. You have been the king of glory, now won't you be my prince of peace."

Oh!! I'm so excited!!! I dressed up my best friend and her little sister (I think I wrote about this already, actually, but oh well, I'll write it again)
anyway, I dressed them up victorian style and did thier hair pretty and took pictures of them in black and white and I'm going to develope the film today!! Hopefully I'll have enough time in the lab to print some of them too. I'm soooo excited about it!! On Monday, I printed three pictures of my other best friend and they turned out so cool! I hope she likes them (I'll show them to her tonight) because she looks awesome in front of the camera.

Oh!Oh! Oh! I just remembered! (my life is very exciting right now!!) On Monday we had a critique in my photo class and... oh, I've got to explain the assignment... :
My shadow and me ; pick an object to carry around taking pictures of it's shadow, and shadow's on it. Make four prints and matte them.
So I was able to finish the assignment on time, which no one in the class ever does, and I put them up on the wall for critique. I was the last person to get critiqued so as I'm waiting for my turn I'm beating myself up and thinking, oh, I should have paid more attention to how gray I made those proof sheets, argh, I didn't burn that corner of that print enough! and ect... And then the teacher gets to mine and completely blows me away! she says that it was perfect and she probably wouldn't have done quite as well and the prints were gorgeous and you couldn't see my spot toning and the presentation was perfect and you couldn't tell if that picture was upside down because it just turned out so well and really looked better that way... It was wonderfull!!! All I need to work on is varied distance in my proof sheets. that's all. she says that I set the bar so high that now I have a target on my back, because my work was so much better than every one else's. unfortunately this means I have to meet that bar on the next two projects as well, but, hey, I enjoy a good challenge! :)
it was so wonderfull that I've lost all attention to grammer! :) lol :)

so now the hardest part of course is to keep my head the same size it was when i'd thought that my project turned out bad. Humility. hm, so difficult. I hate my pride. and even in saying that I feel my head expanding because hey "I'm being more humble than you are!" funny, isn't that pride?

Well, I've typed my way through the first class of the day and I think I'm going to go check my email now.

:)

Pray for me?
