Update

Well, its a new year, and I sadly dont have much I want to say. Alot has happened in my life recently, btu I dont feel that I want to discuss it here. Its not that I mind sharing, but Im just unmotivated. Here are some highlights:

- I now live in Santa Barbara
- I was accepted into the photo school I was applying to (Brooks Institute of Photography).
- Everyone I know that does photography has misgivings about my decision to study here.

To tell you the truth, the longer Im here, the more unsure I become in my decision. Dont get me wrong, I still love photography, but I dont know if this is the right school for me. I dont see myself learning as much as I had hoped, so in the end, Im paying for a piece of paper that says I endured (Bachelors). Is that piece of paper worth it? I could get it in a different field, and I would pay alot less... like English! Except Nick would see me dead before he acknowledged that I have a decent knowledge of a language. I want that piece of paper so I can teach. Thats it. I can work with the photo knowledge I have, but I cant teach without the paper. Dammit!
