What am I proud of?

In the last few weeks of the WIA Summer Program, we've been working on a lot, from the yearbook to t-shirts and random contests in between. I think the thing I'm most proud of is the t-shirt design I made, just because that's something I can actually wear and use. All the other things are mostly decoration for my room.

Commercials.

Three commercials. Hm. One I've always loved is the one for six flags with the dancing guy. Mainly because the background song is by the venga boys.
Of course, I love progressive insurance commercials with Flo, especially this one.
My most favorite one is the geico ring tone one. That ring tone is awful.

One person.

To be honest, the only person id hang out with is my mom. I know, i know. Sounds wierd but there would be so much to talk about in so little time. Theres no one else i'd rather see than her.

Potential Career.

At this point, Addiction Counselor is looking like it's the best one for me. For one thing, it deals with counseling people who have addiction problems, which runs in my family and in my blood.
I've been there, done that and my whole life people have been telling me I'm a good listener and tend to help them with their problems; no matter what they may be.
But, at the same time, Bereavement counseling would come naturally to me, because this career deals with loss. Anyone who knows me even a little knows I've had to deal with that my whole life. I've heard from a few people that if you have experience in the job field you're pursuing you'll do well. Addiction Counseling pays the least annually at approx. $26,900. Bereavement Counseling pays $31,449 - $52,723 annually.
And for both careers, all you need is a high school education and a bachelors in psychology.

Random Stuff. :)

How was my weekend?

Let's see. I finally got my tattoo. Although, I didn't get it finished, the parts over my appendicitis scar hurt too much. My boyfriend was almost screaming while getting his done and wimped out halfway after saying i was complaining too much. It was hilarious. We're going back sometime this week to get them finished.
I also bought him a new leopard gecko, it's really cute.
The most exciting thing to happen though was I bought the head gaskets and battery for my car and now she runs beautifully. Just gotta wait to get plates and my license now. I can't wait. :)

Pay day!

Let's see, with my first paycheck I'm probably going to pay my dad for my car because at the moment it's in his name, he's fixing it, and there's no insurance. But, when he gets that all done, I pay him $300.00 and it's mine.
I'll probably get a few tattoos, maybe get my cheeks peirced, maybe a few more ear peircings.
The rest will go to putting gas in my boyfriends car. Ah, my life.

Billionaire

Well, let's see. If I were a billionaire i would.
1. Replace my mother's gravestone with one that has the right date on it.
2. Get tattoos.
3. Buy a small plot of land, build a house, furnish the house.
4. Get extensions. Dye my hair.
5. Shopping spree.
6. Buy an economically friendly car.
7. Life/Health/Dental Insurance.
8. Save the rest for everyday needs.

SC4

I sadly didn't get a chance to take pictures at SC4. I've already toured the campus before so walking through it was quite repetitive. I just stayed out of the way most of the time. I may attend SC4 after i try out modeling but it depends on if i make it or not in the modeling department. I guess i liked the campus, it's like most campus's are. Nothing to complain about, except the heat.

Weekend Plans

Well, this weekend is quite an eventful one compared to the rest.
Today I'm going to my boyfriends best friends house in Port Huron after work and going to boat night. Probably going to see Twilight or Inception either today or tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a Ps3 with my boyfriend then going to get tattoos with him and his best friend and his girlfriend. We're like a group, it's cute. I still don't know what tattoo I'm getting but I'm sure it will be one of the many i want to get in remembrance of my mother. My boyfriend's decided he's getting the outline of a fish with the words 'there's plenty of fish in the sea, but none quite like me' written in it. Or a school of outlined fish with those words in each separate one. Either way, i think it will look sweet. After all that, I'm getting rid of my cats thing two and sox. I'm going to miss them but i can't afford to have them anymore. Sunday, I'll be doing nothing but sleep.

Yearbook

I want to be remembered as i always am everywhere i go. 'That one tall girl'
Everywhere i've ever been, i've been remembered as that. It doesn't bother me, because at least i'm being remembered. If i could choose what to be remembered as, i'd choose best fashion though. But i don't know if everyone else would think that.

Top 5

If I were to hire someone, the top 5 things i would look for are as follow (considering i plan on owning a tattoo parlor):
They would have to have piercings.
They would have to have tattoos.
They would have to wear make up.
They would have to dress appropriately.
They would have to speak english.

Photoshopped

For this image, I used photoshop to distort and twist my friends face.

This image was originally creative on it's own because it's in sunglasses, but by twisting his face it adds an illusion.

Almost like a different dimension is in it.

For this image, I added a new layer over each person and added a neon wash over the image around them. It gives the effect of almost stained glass. It's tye-dye.
For this image, I added a picture of my mother and me when i was young.

I added a new layer to the image of me, my brother, and my uncle at graduation, and put the image of me and my mother there.

I had to take the opaqueness and lower it, take away some lighting and voila me and my mother are ghosts and my uncle and me are looking at us.

-Logos-

I chose this logo for cosmetology mainly because it was simple but also had the basic tools used in cosmetology. I like that all the tools are crossing in almost an asterisk pattern. I like how cosmetology is bolded and larger than the community colleges font.

I chose this logo for social worker because it shows people of all colors helping one another, and thats alot like how social work is done. There is no 'one race' in this world and the people holding hands around the Earth shows that.

I chose this logo for therapist/psychiarty because it depicts someone helping another. Thats how i feel therapy/psychiatry should be represented. Everytime i've seen a therapist, there was no logo on the building and it seemed bland.

What is Wia to me?

Wia. Work Investment Act. What does it mean to me?
It means a second chance. It means I actually have the ability to make money doing something that comes naturally to me, something i spend hours at home doing with no incentive.
I could say wia is an incredible program, but i wouldn't be saying enough. You may think i'm just sucking up but it's true. Wia gives me something to do with my spare time that i could otherwise be doing something bad. I could be roaming the streets with a 'gang' but am i? No.
I'm at the Tec building learning and helping others to learn Digital Media and Technology.
Wia means I get to breathe easier knowing someone out there is trying to help me be a better person.
