Today is January 10th, 2025. We just came back to school on Tuesday and it has been sort of difficult. The “senioritis” is really kicking in! After a little over two weeks of sleeping in and working during the day I had to come back to school for 5 and a half hours everyday. I feel like I should just be basically graduated by now. There shouldn’t be any more homework. Unfortunately, I have to keep going and working hard to finish the year on a strong note.
It feels unreal that the first semester is over and we have already had Christmas. Over break, I had so much nostalgia from going through baby photos to submit for the yearbook. On top of that, I got to thinking about how this was my last Christmas break from school ever. I do not plan to go to college so graduating from high school is extra big and emotional for me. I can’t even think about it without getting sappy. I am, however, excited to move on to bigger and better things!
Speaking of Christmas and break, I did get a cool gift for Christmas. I got a Canon EOS Rebel T7. If you’ve been up to date on my blog you know I have a passion for taking photos. I hope to pursue a photography career on the side one day. I have two lenses for it. One zoom in a lot while still keeping the photo crisp and clear. The other is more basic for regular pictures like of people or pets. Some friends have already asked me to do sessions for them. Here are two photos I took with each one of the lenses!
Unfortunately, due to the recent snowstorm and then it snowing bad again last night I had to cancel the photo sessions I had planned again for the second week. I was pretty upset about that because I love doing them, but I know it’ll all work out in the end! I would have moved them to next weekend but I will be in Wisconsin. We are leaving Thursday next week and I am ecstatic. My youngest sister is the most excited. She is eight years old, so I love being able to experience her childhood from my perspective. It always reminds me a lot of me and it is crazy to me that I can remember being her age. I try to do stuff with her because I know she will always remember how she felt when she was this age.
To sum up this post I had an amazing first semester and Christmas. I can’t wait to graduate and be able to pursue a real career! I will continue to take photos while also working hard at school to achieve straight A’s. I will also continue to work hard in the workforce.
