No to "SHOULD"

My cure for the Thursday blues. 
I have a bunch of projects in mind. I've decided its time to stop saying "ohhh I wish I could do that" or "Oh! That's a great idea I should do it". Basically stop saying the word SHOULD and transform it into WILL. 

So part of this is to work on some projects. First, this blog, which I think is going well. I'm probably posting less than what I am thinking of. 

Second, applications...this is working slowly but surely. I get distracted when I come home. The Office is  just too great a show. What really keeps me hooked is the Jim/Pam relationship. UGH! 

Third, expanding my photography. I have my professional website, my facebook website, a tumblr, and two instagrams. Yes, that's right two. Why? Well, I didn't bring my camera to Mexico. I figured I would be busy with work and Fulbright and not sure who my roommates would be so I didn't want to risk losing my equiptment. However I do have my iPhone camera. So I have my regular account which is featured on the home page. Also I started another one where I will focus on coffee. I've always wanted to streamline something and it has been a constant challenge in my work. So yeah, I want to try and create constant, interactive content for my sites.  

Fourth, my youtube channel. My sister made me start it to document a weekend in Mexico City and though I love the idea I haven't uploaded anymore content but I have a ton of backed up videos. I also want to edit them on my laptop or work computer instead of on the iPhone. 


Time to let the creative juices out!

OK! Moving On!

So I think I'm done with the design. Even though I started with a template I had to add a lot of html tweaking. I was less rusty than I thought! 

So, I'm pretty happy with the result...how about you?

On another note...one thing that kind of upset me today was that I had to miss out on one of my best friends birthdays and a little get together with my college girlfriends. My grandma is ill and my family needs help taking care of her. Even if its just being an extra body at home. Sometimes three people are needed to move her and everything. So well, though I feel bad, I'd rather stay here. Next year who knows how many opportunities I'll have to be with her. 

But yeah! I'm in the process of applying to my universities. I'll post about those later and I am really happy about this unification-of-my-social-media sites project! 

My right hand is super cold...
