wow.

so, it feels like it should be friday already.

it's only tuesday.

I teach three sessions of communication, assist in one photography, and also one citizenship in the world. so I am in all five sessions we offer.

these boys I teach are crazy.

I've got some really great guys, who are smart and respectful.

and I've got some really crazy guys, who are super smart, and really funny.

but I have to be mean, and tell them to be quiet. especially this set of twins, they are hilarious.

anyways, I really have not gotten to know the rest of the staff...

I'm that awkward new kid, and plus I am a girl.

and guys can't talk to a girl.

loving the job though, I really do enjoy "instructing" (we're not allowed to call it teaching, I don't know why.)

this is the end.

chels.

jobs.

so.

today was my last day at the office!

and not even an hour after I left, did I get offered a new job.

Camp Durant BSA Camp!

so I pack up and leave Sunday for five weeks to teach public speaking, communications, and photography. I'm pretty excited.

this is the end.

chels.

music.

so I've not listed new music.

this guy is not new to me, per se... but...

a band that you need to know.

Iron and Wine.

He's basically just incredible.

Plus, Sam Beam has a beard, which makes them so much better. He's on my list of men to marry... (hehe)

Cinder and Smoke (one of my favs):

murderer.

so.

I was driving to Pilot Mountain this morning with my friend Cameron, so we could meet up with some of our other friends and CLIMB!!! We headed out at about 6am; the drive was smooth, almost no traffic, until about 7am.

all of the sudden.

there is something in the middle of my car.

a freakin deer.

It leapt out of nowhere, landed in the middle of the car, the impact thrust it high into the air where it flipped head over heels about five times before landing twenty feet over, perfectly in the median.

I killed a deer.

but more importantly, my beloved Silver Bullet is dead also.

So we did not go climbing.

and I was super bummed:

-no climbing

-I murdered a deer

-I killed my van

this is the end.

chels.

quelf.

if you don't have the game, buy it.

tonight.

its the best game EVER.

I am super excited cause this Saturday I am going to Pilot Mountain with some of my climbing buddies!

at the overlook. Pilot Mt.

6.1 shot

sorry for another post... so, I am probably the most anti-sap person there is, but... doesn't this make you want to have little girls to dress up?

this is the end.

6.1.shoot.

...whiskers on kittens... girls in white dresses... a few shots from today's impromptu photo shoot.

this is the end.

chels.

remember.

today is Memorial Day.

I am such a privileged girl; I live in the best country in the world, with the greatest miltary the world has ever seen.

I am slightly biased.

my father is among those brave soldiers.

HOOAH.

Thank a Vet, it's the least you can do.

they fight for our rights.

Thank you veterans, and all the families.

Especially those families of the Fallen Soldiers, for your bravery and poise in this hard time of war.

this is the end.

nervous...

...about life.

I just get so anxious sometimes.

lately it's been about if I will succeed or not.

am I really a good photographer? Nat Geo is great expectations, but will I even be able to book a shoot?

anyways. that's just me rambling.

so it's super late, and I cannot for the life of me fall asleep.

muh room.

muh guitars.

muh bed.

this is the end.

alumnus.

so I went back to the NCHE conference this year with my family.

I freakin love it!

I saw some friends, we played music; my friend Justin actually taught me some chords for the mando.

new friend alli gets the creds for these two fotos.

great weekend.

so, some of the "new" music I have found out about:

The Violet Archers.

just listen to them.

this is the end.

chels.

such a quitter.

so, the reason I quit project 359:

I felt conceited. I hate self portraits.

I like real life better.

foto by me.

so I'll post real life photos from here on out.

I'm loving some music. I'll share some of the music I find, and if you have heard of the bands, you should be ashamed for not telling me about them. thanks if you still read this even after my childish give up.

this is the end.

chels.

im givin up on this stupid project.

I'm leaving for the weekend, going to see family!

I'll be back sunday night, so I will post friday-sunday's photos on monday.

this is the end.

this is the end.

chels.

just venting.

I just want to write a blog entry real quick.

can I just say, I want this semester to be over?

I have seven more class days, and I am just sick of this community college.

I didn't apply myself this semester in math, because I hate math, and now it looks like I will be retaking this math.

I want to go to a real school, but I can't afford it, so I will be here some more when I get back from NY.

that's the downfall of NY; no college credit.

also, emotions are frustrating, because I cannot control them all the time.

there's my complaining.

by the way.

I ordered my new camera: Canon 7d.

yes sir, that makes me happy.

so does this picture. I want to be her. and then that boy can be Robin Pecknold, please.

this is the end.
