Here is my first blog entry since being home for the summer in Thunder Bay.

Unfortunately, it is not that exciting.

I am working as a photo lab technician again this summer at Wal-mart. There are a few things that are different, but I think a lot of things are the same. Everything slowly came back to me so I don't think I should have too many problems. We have a cool new machine to burn CD's and eventually DVD's. I had a lot of fun watching it.

School update:

I ended up with a C in statistics, which is pretty decent considering I failed the exam. And with the A I got in french, which was six cr. hrs compared to statistics which was only three, it didn't really bring down my GPA all that much. So, I might not take it again. I haven't really decided yet. But the good news is I can afford not to if I so choose.

My portfolio is coming along nicely. I have the minimum 9 works, and now I have the 3 mandatory projects done as well. So, really, I think I could submit it right now if I wanted. But, because I am getting my digital works printed tomorrow, even if I mailed it tomorrow night, it wouldn't be mailed out until Monday. So, I think I'm going to wait the weekend, try to finish painting my tiger, maybe do a couple other drawings or something, experiment, and then I'll send it out Monday morning.

It's not due till Friday so I won't have to even pay so much to express mail it overnight- which is what I was worried would happen because I felt like I had so much left to do when I left Winnipeg.

I still feel a bit overwhelmed with all the things I have to do. I started "renovating" in my room, and it's a terrible, terrible mess. I had to post-pone my cleaning because of the portfolio. I got back Sunday night and since I've already worked two shifts, I have another shift tomorrow, and I have somewhat of an interview next week.

But, once I get through all that I am sure this summer will be exciting and relaxing. Yes.
