i have a broke, lonely future?

take this.
make it something beautiful again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i could put a mood on here like you can on myspace, i'd definitely put "nostalgic".

this weekend was so interesting for me. first of all, my parents came to visit. i had not seen them in two months. they looked different and yet they had not changed at all. weird. it made me miss home so much. i don't want to come back to live in south carolina, but a nice visit would be awesome. i miss driving down random farm roads in anderson. i miss my friends. i miss working at skin's....a whole lot. i miss familiarity. but all i need is a visit to cure these things because i know living in anderson again is not in my future. in fact i'd probably miss tennessee after a couple days' visit at home.

i'm random.

i definitely became depressed in photography class today. i gotta say, the professors aren't very encouraging as far as the future goes. they constantly tell us if we are looking for financial stability that photography is not the career path to take. the first year out of school will probably be tough and i will probably still be at cracker barrel. who knows. today i got depressed because my professor said most people in a photography profession do not have good relationships. he is the only one he knows of all his friends in the profession who is still married to the one woman he's asked. sad, right. he told us not to get engaged anytime soon. his point is that we all will probably have to travel a lot for our jobs, especially if you're wanting to be freelance. (by the way, guess who wants to do that....yep.) anyways, he says it can seriously strain a relationship if your partner hates traveling or just gets sick of you going. we actually had a guest speaker today. he graduated from the program like two years ago. he said he's been dating this girl for seven months but he doesn't know if it will work out simply because of his job. he said she's never really complained but he's still starting to think negatively. if you think that, why be in it, right? basically they told us unless you find a partner who doesn't care if you have to travel and will stick with you through anything, don't even start worrying about having a life with someone. wouldn't that make you depressed too? geeeeee.
