San Francisco Day 1

So we left for San Francisco at 4 a.m., real gross! We drove to ANX at took off at 6. We then arrived in Denver where we got on a flight going to San Francisco, then Hong Kong! I wanted to stay on and go see Japan, but voted against it. Everything went really smoothly with our flights so that was good. We arrived in San Fran and headed to our hotel, it only took us 2 hours to get there. Lol we go on the Bart that took us to one place and then we got off and were lugging our luggage around everywhere. Then we were trying to figure out which bus to take to get to our hotel. We finally found the right bus but then most of us didn't have exact change so we had to go get that and then go catch the next bus. What a sight we were, all of us with all our stuff trying to fit on the extremely crowded bus. Everyone on it hated us, i would have too.
So we finally make it to our hotel and get checked in and dropped off our stuff. We went and ate lunch at In-N-Out Burger! It was the highlight of my day..soooo good!! After our extremely satisfying lunch we walked around and went to Fisherman's Wharf. It was absolutely beautiful, like 70 degrees.
We walked around Fisherman's Wharf and me and emily heard drums and had to find the music!! We did and the guy let Emily play with him on his bongos..that was fun, then we learned that he had a famous dad..i don't remember his name lol so he wasn't that famous..but the guy was really fun and we became fast friends!!
The day ended with a wonderful shower and some room service followed by American Idol and LOST...not a bad day!





Alcatraz..cool

I found this video Ryanne's blog and it completely made my day. I really wanna be their friend.

=(

Well..its the beginning of another week, and honestly, i am so stressed out i just want to cry and quit and crawl into my bed. I have so much to do and just not enough time to do it, and thinking about it all makes me want to break down. Photography is really fun and i love it but it stresses me out so much, mostly because i just want to do really well at it and this last assignment i really don't feel like i did well on. Oh well, i guess we will just see tomorrow. I am leaving to go to San Francisco on Thursday with the Advocate staff, and don't get me wrong I am SO SUPER excited about it, i am just really really really really really really stressed about everything I have to get done before then. Sometimes(meaning everyday) I wish I could just drop out of school and travel all over the country playing at churches and events with this band (or what should be a band..rachel, adam, kolten, tony and jj!) and be poor and happy. I am really struggling with caring about school this semester. ok, well I guess i should go to bed..here are my pictures for my last assignment. We had to take abstract pictures, and my theme was "Vintage".

There are no words

Joy and loss

For photography our assignment was to take 4 pictures of joy and 4 of loss without using facial expressions. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be because it also had to be universal meaning that whenever anyone looked at it they had to feel joy or loss. I had a lot of fun with it though, so here are the 8 pictures I chose...

Don't Forget the Lyrics

I know I am really into lyrics lately but music is the thing that speaks to me the most and I get the most out of. Lately I have just been really struggling with a lot of things and after my mom and I talked last night on my way home from Fayetteville I was listening to my i-pod and just wanting the perfect song for my mood to come on and what do you know, the perfect song came on next. God knows that the best way to get my attention is through a song so that is exactly what he did. I didn't even know I had this song on my i-pod but it was exactly what I was feeling at that moment.


I can't find the words to pray
I'm a little down today
Can you help me?
Can you hold me?
I feel like a million miles away
And I don't know what to say
Can you hear me anyway?
What I need is for you to reach out your hand
You have taught me
No matter what you'd understand

CHORUS:

Lord move in a way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move), or move me.


I've look every where to find
A simple peace of mind
I can't find nothing on my own
So I got to leave myself behind
Take up this cross of mine
Give away everything I hold onto

Lord I know the only way is through this
Lord I know I need you to help me do this

CHORUS

Lord move in a way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and a lock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move), or move me.

Out of this place of complacency
To a place of fellowship with thee
Cause I am weak but Lord you are so strong
And you know it's been way too long (been way too long)

Lord move in the way, that I've never seen before
Cause there's a mountain in the way and I'll knock on the door
I'm drifting away, waves are crashing on the shore
So Lord move (move)...

The more i seek you,
the more i find you
The more i find you, the more I love you

C:I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming
