Like a flower in cement

Things have been pretty stressful for me. I recently lost my job, and have been piecing together all of my money to make sure everything is paid on time. I feel like finding a new job is almost going to be impossible, now that the holiday season is here. I know the roughness will pass and I will find something else, I just need it sooner, rather then later. My relationship with my boyfriend is on the rocks, just because we both seem to take our stresses out on each other. Sometimes when you are fighting with your best friend, and feel like you have no one to talk to, it makes all the other rough things that much harder! Him and I have our moments, so I hope this too, will pass. So, right now I am learning to handle everything as adult as possible, and just make it through the next couple weeks. My 19th birthday is tomorrow (One more year as a teenager, and it is all done!), and so far, my only plans are to put up my Christmas tree and play on photoshop. The tree should bring some positive feelings into the house, and be a good way to spend my Saturday.

With all this free time I have recently developed, I have done a few things to help keep me busy. I found new, downladable PS actions, and have been learning how to use these actions to edit my photos. I got bored editing the same pictures over and over again, and decided I needed new material. Plus, I have been dying to go out and get more practice. So I posted an ad on craigslist offering low cost photos by a student photographer. So far, I have booked an engagement session and a family session. Both are for the same family on December 3rd. I will make a few extra bucks and have tons of new photos to edit. I am so excited for that, and Thankful I can pull in a little money. Craigslist will see a few more of my postings, in hope to book a few more things for the month of December. At the very least I have that to look forward to, as well as Andrea's wedding on December 18th!

School is nothing like I thought it would be. I expected it to be hard and almost over whelming, when in fact, it is the exact opposite. Which I guess is fine, it is literally fail proof...  I expected the program to be a good bridge from High school to College. However it turned out to be just like health class in High School. Don't get me wrong. I am learning new things, and I am enjoying it... but I think I could have handled a lot more of a challenge. I guess the point of this post was to complain, and admit my life is not as awesome as I wish it was right now. Lately it feels like things are going wrong, more than they are going right. When this happens to me, I make a big change some how, in attempt to avoid problems... but now I am stuck, and I just have to rely on God to help pull me through.

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving, and next time I will have some happy stuff to share! Have a good weekend!
