I'm really bad at keeping this blog aren't I?
Well robotics season just finished for me, we lost pretty badly on that one... Theatre season finished too, with one awesome last show! And I just got back from my latest choral competition in Orlando! Grand Champion! Yeah, we brought home 6 trophies! 3 first place, 2 soloists, and 1 GRAND CHAMPION! Epic way to finish out my high school singing career!
Not to mention how much of a roller coaster addict I've become! We spent 13 hours in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure! I rode every coaster within the first like 4 hours and then went back for more! Note: Riding a floorless roller coaster 5 times back to back will result in waking up the next morning with a ton of pain.
Yes I was crazy enough to ride Dragon Challenge 5 times within about an hour and a half... Rockit was better, but there was a line... and I probably wouldn't have been able to survive doing Rockit 5 times in a row...
As for photos, I did a shoot yesterday for an ad campaign and will be doing some family portraits this week so my project is going to have a couple shots pulled from the 300+ taken in Florida, well once I stop procrastinating long enough to go through them...

Fun Pick-Me-Ups For Smiles :)
I'm a person who loves to smile and make people smile. So lately I've been feeling really down, I don't know if it's from all the crap talk or what, but I've just felt really depressed and lonely lately. There are tons of ways I could self medicate, but this round, I've decided to go with a pretty healthy way! I decided to do random nice things (or at least try to be nice, I'm naturally a very temperamental snappy person...) So today I've decided to compile a list of things that I've been doing or want to do while I'm feeling like this.
1. Sticky notes. I've been writing encouraging notes and sticking them on mirrors and such in bathrooms! Nothing made me smile more than when I walked into a school bathroom this morning to find that someone had stuck a note in one of the stalls and beat me! Of course, I proceeded to add another 10 notes to that bathroom :) Just cause I felt it was necessary for people to see notes everywhere they turn. 3 bathrooms got sticky noted today :)
2. Smile, really smiling at others makes people smile and sometimes smiles are all someone needs.
3. Crawl into a corner and cry, yes I'm guilty of doing that way too much this week, but it's not weakness to cry. Had to learn that lesson the hard way.
4. Go learn new software. If you've talked to me lately while I've been in a techy mood, you'll hear about me and my obsession with Prezi, because right now I think it's one of the best things since sliced bread!
5. Write, that one's a bit hypocritical... because I haven't been able to make myself write for weeks now... it doesn't feel very good... but I've done some good in art if that counts for anything...
6. Wear a dress! It's such a good confidence booster! I feel so pretty when I wear a dress or skirt! Disclaimer: Guys, it might not be very helpful for you to wear a dress... let's leave this one to the girls...
7. Surprise someone, pay for movie ticket or coffee for the person behind you, the looks on their faces when you watch through your rear view mirror is awesome!
8. This is probably a "me" thing because I'm a weird crazy loser, but I like to browse DeviantArt telling girls they're beautiful. I don't blame you if you're too shy for that haha, I'm generally insane in that department.
9. Paint your toenails, another confidence booster thing, because every time I look down I see sparkles and it's just a little thing that boosts my confidence :)
10. Sing and dance like no one's around, especially if there really isn't someone around... Every morning I'm not rushing to gulp down coffee and get makeup on as my car warms up, I sing and dance around my room. It's fun and super energizing!
11. Green Tea Ice Cream, it just makes everything better. Pair it with Mountain Dew and life just seems so much better!
12. Play guitar, I don't know why this is so far down the list... probably because it's mostly an every day activity... but it really does make me feel better...
13. Try on old prom dresses, or in my case, my 20 formal gowns I happen to randomly own... It makes me feel like a princess and beautiful :) Yeah, you can probably tell I haven't felt very beautiful lately, but these little pick me ups help!
14. Clean out your purse, the sense of accomplishment is amazing! It's like a huge weight has been lifted!
15. Do the same for your car, room, makeup table, etc, not that I actually did that or really want to... but I imagine one would feel accomplished...
