Since our last meeting…
Sunday, after the meeting, I set up the chemistry in the darkroom and made a print (black and white flamingos)
Monday I waitress at this little Italian restaurant that my boyfriend is a cook at.
Tuesday I started a new waitressing job that I found out I have to do five days of training.
Wednesday I trained in the morning and afternoon, then went to meet my boyfriend at the doctor (he has some health problems and has a difficult time going to the doctor alone). On the way home from the doctor, it was dark, and I hit and killed a possum. I after screaming for a few seconds, my boyfriend made me pull over on the side of the road and I cried for 15 minutes.
Today I was still a little upset about the possum even though my boyfriend cleaned my car last night in the dark so I wouldn’t have to see anything upsetting during the daylight. I trained again today and all day all I could think is “must update blog.. must update blog”.
So here goes my much needed update!
Tomorrow has in store for me: training in the morning, HOPEFULLY done by 4pm then straight to Unique Photo to purchase chemistry and paper, then to the studio to print. Printing Friday evening into Saturday.
Saturday, I will print until about 3pm and then drive back down to Point Pleasant to finish my last day of training! I will HOPEFULLY be finished training at 8pm and drive back up to the studio to print until the meeting on Sunday!
I’m exhausted just writing it out, but it’s good to have a plan.
I have put together a tiny short iMovie with some images of the trip, but I can’t figure out how to get it onto the blog. I can’t seem to export it to a small enough file
I also have an audio clip of my grandmother and I talking. That file is small enough but I can’t get it to work either.
I’m learning I have patience to hang out with old people who move like snails but not to sit here and deal with technology.
I apologize, this was less of an update and more of a rant. I will have more to say when I can keep my eyes open.
