Hmm.
So it's 2012 now. I donno.
You know i lost faith in this new year resolution thing, eh, whats the point anyways?
2011 was an interesting year.
Achieved a few of things that I never done in my life.
I'm honestly quite grateful for a lot of things, stuff like getting the job as a Photo Editor at The Chronicle, a wonderful summer in Tinglerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17166097869971932041noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084702661338217262.post-46953221390710524452011-08-13T01:56:00.000-07:002011-08-13T01:56:46.670-07:00awkwardso this is something I've been struggling with: talking with friend's friend/family at a situation where you cant talk much.
Let me use an example to explain the situation better:
So I walked with my friend Tayler to meet up with her mom and sister tonight(whom both came to chicago to visit her) at the nearby baskin robins.

The third year in a roll, I came to visit the Powell's in Texas.
Three years. It's almost an annual traditional now.
It felt like I just visited the place like a few weeks ago, but the reality shows that it has already been 12 months since the last time.

No Personal projects were done, no photo shoots.
Barely shot any photos. That roll of Provia400X in the film camera still stood at frame number 6.
Even if I did shot any photos with my EOS40D, it's just those normal crappy everyday life photos that people shoot with their cheap point & shoot camera.

Godiva's not too bad. (Way better than my last job)
After three weeks, my working hours are steadily increasing(but still quite insufficient to keep me away from debt soon)
This pay period which ends today, I think I accumulated 17hrs of work.(The past few weeks I barely reach 10hr per week) Not a bad week. I can be expecting a much bigger paycheck this up coming friday.
