i would so appreciate it if you took five seconds and press “collect” on the upper right hand corner. I would so appreciate it, and sharing the link on facebook or with friends would be even more awesome!!
I am depending a lot on this summer. I NEED to make art and to be artistically productive to make up for a year of being virtually away from it altogether. I’m taking a small roadtrip to visit my best friend Bridget tomorrow, and I have a photoshoot planned (surprise) that will hopefully yield fruitful results. Then, I get back, drive up to Yale and get my other friend (who will stay with me for a few days and be a model slave), and then I move into NYC, where I will be splitting an apartment with my friend/working with my agent until august.
My sister graduated this weekend! How surreal…to think she is OUT of college and about to enter the real world. It scares me how time flies.
here is a great “it gets better video” for anyone who is gay OR simply feeling bullied and worthless:
Soooo this made me really realize how fast time flies—Kira (the girl who is in soooo many of my photographs (and has been since she was 11) has finally decided on where she’s going next year. Besides being an AMAZING model and one of my best friends/muses, she is also a genius. She decided MIT was her best fit, after being totally indecisive between Harvard, Princeton, Caltech, and MIT until TODAY, which is the last day you can respond I think.
So, my model is all grown up! sooo scary to think how old we are all getting. this time last year I was making my college decision and was hoping upon hope I had chosen the right one. I hope she loves MIT as much as I love Yale.
Residential college day!!! there was a petting zoo, a bouncy castle, sumo wrestling…every year my residential college gets a huge vat of jello an people wrestle in it—I couldn’t bring myself to do it once i saw everyone’s feet mashing up 25 vats of yellow jello…
it’s SO beautiful outside, and classes ended this week…now just reading week and exams gahhhh. This is my best friend in the world, in matching attire! People already call us twins basically, so we thought we might as well…
also my summer is too good to be true. originally i was supposed to be managing photoshoots in Beijing but then my agent said that was absolutely out of the question, so now I’m moving into NYC for 2-3 months and splitting an apartment with one of my best friends (who i’ve known since age 10, went to my middle school and highschool, and is also with me here at Yale!). She’s working at Morgan Stanley and I get to explore NYC, network, and just throw myself wholeheartedly into photography. We have our own kitchen so we can have friends over, make cookies, etc. It was insane that we found it so last minute and at an affordable price!
I’m just so looking forward to this summer…I’ve missed photography so much with all the school work I’ve had…I haven’t had time in months to properly even THINK about my artwork, and without my art i’m not me. right now i’m sitting on old campus with my boyfriend, writing this blog entry, watching the people walk by, listening to this great singer i found called “Dia Frampton.” Her best songs are “Don’t Kick the Chair” and “The Broken Ones.” Don’t Kick the Chair is such an interesting song because it’s about suicide yet sung in a very bubblegum pop style. It’s interesting. There are birds chirping and all the flowers are bloomed and parents have brought their kids to campus to play on the green. It’s so calm after the craze of bulldog days, with millions of kids flooding in to make their college decisions. I had a great pre-frosh, and she’s decided to come here!
In other news, I’ve written 4 term papers (one of which was in french) and done a problem-set in four days…one more paper to go, then 4 finals. I didn’t think it was humanly possible to write 4 papers in 4 days, but it is…
so i think i may have to pull my first all nighter…ever
Am sitting in the library trying to slap myself…
it’s even harder when apparently the doctor is 90 percent sure i have narcolepsy…I have to spend all of Sunday (from 7AM to 5PM) being observed by the sleep doctors, because it’s gotten to the point where I’m barely awake more than a few hours a day (which is why I still haven’t finished my final french oral presentation)…FML
Easter at Yale :)
Welcome class of 2016, you’re going to have the best 4 years of your life. Hopefully I’ll see you all at bulldog days :)
