a new week.

so just a thought i really want to get out there.... lately like in the last day or so... i have been thinking of switching my major, to social work with a minor in art.. but then just tonight...why not just get either a BFA or MFA.... be an artist...get a wheel and have my own studio.. i know it would take tons of hard work and i would be pretty much broke..but isn't that what life is about? doing what you desire the most and succeed at it? I don't know that has been pulling at me lately...


anyways... tomorrow i head down to the cities for an Arts conference/symposium/festival I went last year, to Moorhead where it was... it was seriously amazing did some awesome workshops! this year i am doing even cooler ones :-D

See art is just amazing to me..even if it is the smallest little arts and crafts project i love it.


I GET TO MAKE A SCARF LIKE THIS :  

anyways...so i will be down doing that until wednesday..then back up in duluth/superior for two days then headed back to the cities again but going home to my parents so i get to spend some quality time with my mom. i am excited. alright i am tired/excited i should go finish my movie and get some sleep haha...

good night world.

in need of a coffee IV.

I am so so tired even though today was a nothing day for me, tomorrow though shall kick me hard... hello 12+ hour day. class...class..class...photo club...homework and then who knows tomorrow. ahh life. It is seriously crazy lately. I am starting to have a second home... the study coffee nook area in the student union. so if i am MIA at night check there please :)

Oh I get to construct a cool tree for the pre-school room at church! so i am getting my creativity flowing with that time to think of a good way to make a nice looking tree of knowledge! and leading the icebreaker for small group this week! ahhh so so busy.

tomorrow is abstract day in photo club... i must find random things to bring so we can photograph them. I shall see what i can find.

My goal before christmas hits is that i will have all my books that are started to be finished... so that means i better get cracking no more stumblingupon for me! lol. oh well i would rather finish them all they are great books!

As March keeps approaching faster and faster i am so excited to road trip it out to montana with my dad! Actually i was talking with him on the phone last night.. and lately i have realized i have always been a daddy's girl.. and i am glad about it? i don't know if it is a thing that people should be boasting or happy about..but i am. I love him so much.

Anyways... yeah that road trip shall be fun.. i can see it already my music...his music.. and our corny jokes and stories.. yup i am SO excited..putting a playlist together already for it.

I can't believe how busy my life has been lately. I am happy about it but man it is rushing by me like no other. I am thankful for it though everything i do.. good and bad.. i learn in some way from it.

Well the art confrence is next week! so hello twin cities! I am so pumped for it! my workshops i will be in are:

Nuno Scarf Making

Creating For a Cause

American Raku


Alright i don't know what else to ramble about at the moment so i am going to leave this blog with one of my favorite verses from the Bible...

" What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us who can ever be against us." - Romans 8:31

end of the week and month

Wow this month has flown by....and this week. The season has finally changed to fall up here. It is so beautiful. it is seriously one of my most favorite seasons we have. the colors the cool air. it is all amazing.  I am now 6 weeks into school mid terms in 3 weeks. wow it is nuts how the time is flying by.

A lot of amazing things have been happening lately, it seems like MSU has my name written all over it. Just gotta get a good score on my ACT's so i can get good scholarships.  Also i have talked with my dad we are headed out to Bozeman in march to check out the campus and town. seriously no one has any idea how excited i am for this new chapter in my life. I seriously think God made it a point for me to move to the Duluth area and work up at camp.  To have a great appreciation for nature and just life. Cause I know if i were to still be living in the cities i would still be surrounded by the filth that was holding me down before.

Anyways..

Oh so i have been having a great case study thought that has been happening to me lately. I know i may sound nuts but I don't care i am seriously doing this anyways here it is..

Wool Sock Study


I am looking for a positive correlation between wearing wool socks to sleep and having a good night's sleep. Also if there is a negative correlation between not wearing wool socks and having a bad nights sleep ( i.e- nightmares, waking up).  


I started thinking about this the other day. This past weekend i started wearing wool socks to bed. then this past monday night i did not wear any to bed and it resulted in me having bad nightmares and kept waking up in the middle of the night. The next night ( Tuesday) I wore wool socks and slept like a baby.  And now this brings me to last night ( Wednesday) I did not wear wool socks and could hardly sleep. I am going to continue this study. I am super interested about it.


I know i sound crazy. But oh well aren't some of the best discoveries made by people dubbed crazy?

Anyways I should get back to homework and all. Gotta get it all done by the morning before i leave town to go to my roommate's cabin. It will be a fun time... 4 wheeling and just being away from the twin ports and life for a couple of days! SOOO excited. Here are some of my pictures for people to see....

it has been awhile

wow i can't believe i haven't blogged in such a long time. And it is kinda funny how many blogs i have open. But i am going to try and start using just one i promise lol. But where to begin?

This summer was an interesting summer. spent some of it working in a professional ceramics studio another part babysitting...and a few weeks working up at camp buckskin again. Luckily i got to spend time with my family and at my cabin actually in the summer. It was rockin.

Seriously i can't believe i am a junior in college now..but i am about to be a freshman again. Transferring and all that fun stuff ya know.  Actually a year from now i am planning on living out in the bozeman area working and prepping to attend Montana State University. It is crazy where life can take you and right now everything is pointing out there.

I am co-president of photo club now... still doing a lot with them but not as much i have done in the last year and a half. I feel like photo club is MINE! lol. I can't believe how much i love photography i got some great photos i need to put up on my facebook photography page but here are some for you guys to see.

the first one is of the lift bridge in Canal Park in Duluth. The other is obviously just abstract. I really want to start working with people more now. So i got to find a few people who would be willing to let me take pictures of them lol. 

Ugh i am soooo sick it is not even funny about to down some generic nyquill and sleep for the night. got church in the morning and bringing a friend :)  I love how amazing God is! just gotta say that :)
