About Me

I LOVE DANCE!!!! I dance for a studio and for the university team and it will without a doubt be part of my career along with graphic design. I am sooo friendly and such an awesome friend but i am terribly shy. I love watching movie but im also outgoing. I love love love ice cream! but that comes after dance. Im always trying new things with my hair (its always a different hair color) and sometimes it could be a drastic change but its okay, its all fun.

My First Vacation

Future Traveling
More...

There are always places that someone dreams about going to. I have a few place that I would seriously enjoy going to so bad. After going on my first vacation it makes me want to travel and see the world. There is a number of things I want to do and road trips I want to take. I think the best part of traveling is because it is so new to you and taking photographs makes it that much more enjoyable!

The first place that is one my list of places to go is seaworld. I always saw previews on the tv for Seaworld and it has made me really want to go. I think something like that would be incredible, and a nice family trip to. Seeing things like this, the marine shows and all the marine life, made me want to be one of the people that works with the animals and goes swimming in the tanks. I used to want to do that, the dolphin shows at the shed aquarium. I thought that it would be the coolest job to swim with dolphins but I never went through with it.

The next place I want to go to is Discovery Cove, which is another resort just like Seaworld that is close to it. The only reason why I would want to go here is to swim with dolphins, This is something I am so determined to do because my grandma told me that when I graduate highschool she was going to take me to swim with dolphins. She talked about how she heard about it from others and was something that would be an amazing experience. I always dreamed of doing this but never thought that it could actually happen. My grandmother had lung cancer and got really sick when I graduated highschool. She didn't live much longer that summer. So doing this is something that would mean a lot to me and make me happy thinking about my grandma.

Looking at my last name some kind point out that it is french. I am half french and lithuanian. I am mixed with other stuff to but I really only count to the most of my ethnicity. I have also dreamed of going to paris. I have no idea what it is like and I have only taken two years of french back in highschool. Of course i barely remember anything. I know that this is so overdone, but I would really like to be proposed under or on the Eiffel Tower. Really corny but so adorable.

My last place on the list which is actually a small joke. Las Vegas!. Being 19 right now there is absolutely no point in me going to las vegas but I think it would be something to try and visit. It all started when I was playing poker with my boyfriend and his friends. I was actually doing really good. I was kicking all of their butts and taking their money. So my boyfriend and I talked about going to las vegas for my twenty first birthday. We would definitely need to make a spending limit so we don't gamble all of our money. I think it would be a lot of fun and exciting for us to go and would be crazy if we ended up winning.

Yea these are just some places that I can think of right now of where I want to go. There are a lot of places I want to go and see but that is going to take time, lots of work, and money. But it will be something to do and look forward to in the future.

Rough Weekend!

Friday I didn't really do anything but saturday I had a lot going on. I told you about how I signed up for Hubbard Street dance company. Well yesterday was my first day there and I don't know what I was think taking three classes! First saturday was my first day driving downtown not technically my first but my first without anybody in my car. And I managed to find a paring spot.

Dancing from 1130 to 4 for the entire day, my first class was modern. I loved it! It was so much fun and some moves were harder than others but I was able to catch on. This class was an intermediate modern. The teacher was so nice to. This class I would definitely stay in the intermediate I thought it was a really good challenge and a good workout to.

The second class I took was beginner/intermediate ballet. Wow this one was tough. I kept looking at the time thinking when will i be out of here. I think I was just really intimidated by all the other girls. I am debating on trying one beginner class just to see how I feel about it. Other wise i do like a challenge and I think that it was just hard to catch on to the teachers way of teaching. I have been with only on ballet instructor and I think it is just because I am so used to their method of teaching.

The third and final class of the day, intermediate HIP HOP! Oh i was so excited for this class. I love hip hop in general. So she is teaching us the dance and it was and it was incredibly fast. I managed to keep up but I did have some trouble with some of the moves but I really liked the dance and did try my hardest. So toward the end she asked me if I have ever taken hip hop classes before and I told her not here this is my first time here. She knew right away that I danced in the "suburbs". she said "hip hop in the city is way different than hip hop in the suburbs". So yea she told me I have to take my city classes, which I understand and all the other stuff she told was the opposite of what i learned and went by. It was tough but I am going to be ready for next time.

After I got home from dance, wiped and my foot was hurting so bad, I was watching my little brother and his friend go down the water slide we have. I though about it and thought it would be neat to photograph them going down. It was fun and I really like the water shooting up and their faces. I got some neat photographs out of it.

Lastly sunday I worked on homework all day then my mom made me make a tie pillow. I could not believe how sore I was from dance. I know it has been about a month of no dancing but I just was soo sore. Even at work it was hard for me to function because of how sore I was.

I have been really busy lately, taking on another job for some extra cash. Man I feel so worked! So I work for Applebee's Restaurant. I usually only work two or three days a week, which sounds terrible but i make over a hundred a week if not two hundred. So it really works out. Going to school only two days out of the week I had a lot of time on my hands and I didn't really want to open my availability at applebees because of the dance team.

First it all started with my car! UHHHH! I have a ford torus and its a 93. OOLLLDDDD. BUT! it only has 37,000 miles on it. so its kind of in good shape, things just need updating. Now i cant really afford the updating. I first did my brakes got the car back for a little over a week and some loud noise start going off when i turned on my A.C or heat. So we took it in to the first place and they had it for two days. the third day they couldn't fix it. they didn't know what to do so they referred us so someone else. Took it there and they have had my car since friday. As of tomorrow I have not had a car for a week and two days. I am dying right now and not only that but this whole thing is gonna cost me over a grand! YIKES! I really cant afford that.

So now I am working two days a week with my mom at her work. Its not to bad and I get paid 13$ an hour. I work an eight hour day. So for the next couple weeks im gonna be putting some time into helping at her work. Tuesday I had my first. WOW, so boring. I spent the first four hours filing. After lunch i stuff envelopes and I was practically falling asleep. It was rough. I can tell that i was getting to used to the constant moving and four/five hour shifts. Today was my second day and I made it through. My mom wants me to use the money toward the car fixings but i want to save it for my new car when i graduate.

Talking about work and doing a company research project for one of my classes. I made myself a future goal to make it into tangible worldwide design agency. They have a number of qualifications but im really going to try and make it in their one day. I really like their design style and I know I could fit right in.  I'm debating on weather or not I should intern for next quarter. I don't think I am not going to have any time to since I start practice in three weeks for the dance team. Not only that but I am going to be taking three art classes, so i don't want to over work myself. Not only that but during the summer I am part of the full bleed internship which leads me to my next topic.

FULL BLEED! I'm really excited for it and I know it will be a great addition for my portfolio. Although I'm not to excited about the topic. Its okay and I have some ideas for it but what I am really excited for it trying to design the cover. So they said they would want something that has the look of "two sides to every story". I actually was inspired by the tangible worldwide posters that they made and it gave me some good ideas. So I'm really excited for that and it would be great if mine is chosen. but I have a lot of work to do this weekend and hopefully i can put up some stuff I'm working on!
