This fence is giving my butt splinters

For the past couple weeks, I've been internally on the fence about what to do with my blog. Designwise, it lacks all aspects of my personality. Contentwise, I've given bits of mediocrity because I'm not sure how to present myself. Lately, I've had so much to talk about, so much to deal with but I just don't know how to do it here. I'm not sure if I'm editing myself for my family or if I'm doing it for everyone else. Sometimes I think if I had two blogs, I could get everything out and not feel like I should be careful what I say. At this point, there are two options: close this thing down or write about everything, regardless if it's cheerful, witty, or informative. I suppose every blogger finds themselves at this point sometime...

Early or late? **updated**

I'm doodling around in the photography lab waiting around for my prints to wash. It's 12:30. After a weekend of false security, I wandered into the lab to work on a project I thought was due Wednesday. Everyone thought it was due Wednesday. Alas, the schedule had a typo and it is due tomorrow. Er, today. I had initially thought I would just hand it in late and take the hit but being the OCD-type when it comes to my grades, I am trying to get it done. Granted, it's not my best work but it will have to do. I keep trying to tell myself that I'm not that old and it won't hurt that bad in the morning but I know better. It will hurt that bad in the morning.

Add onto that I ran my first 5K yesterday morning and it kind of adds to the pain (my body hurts). But YAY! I ran my first 5K!

See? I'm trying to think positive...

After critique today, my instructor took mercy on me and let me turn it in a couple hours late so I could go get it matted (as required). If she hadn't I was looking at the aforementioned deduction in grade. Have I ever mentioned that I love my photography instructor?

Mother Nature is a jerk.

It's supposed to potentially snow on Saturday. It's April. It's the annual festival my college holds. I usually get a sunburn at this festival.

Boo.

Huh.

In one of my classes, our next project is designing a webpage. We were asked to surf the net and come up with some examples of really bad pages and good pages. Hi. This is an example of a bad page. While the content typically borders on the mundane, I realized that the layout and images don't necessarily have to. I'm a design student, for crying out loud. So I might be changing things in the next couple weeks. I thought I'd give you the heads up while I try to reconfigure and potentially move addresses.

In other news, those of you who regularly shop over at Ma's blog know that things haven't been the brightest in our family. But whose family is ever completely bright all the time? As I would expect in any family, it's startling how the struggles of one member so quickly affect the others. I can't imagine having to face hard times alone. This is a serious moment of darkness but we're all heading forward, looking for sunshine.
