The weather is starting to get nice and toasty (well it was, until the cool fall like weather today), but I'm just putting up photos from Scotland when I was visiting this past December/January.

Abrazo!

2009 has started off wonderfully, as I was in Scotland over my winter break with my best friend. My Masters program is going very well. It's exhausting but I love every bit of it to bits.

Happy New Year, all!

So I'm back from Italy, my second trip of the year. I travelled on my own with a tour company and had such a wonderful time. My favourites were Pompeii, Rome and Florence. I would love to go back to Lake Garda and to Venice. I will be posting pictures from that trip that I took with my new compact Canon. I loved the SD400, but the lack of IS was driving me nuts, so I just made the simple upgrade to the SD1100. It's serving me well, but I'm having a problem with washed out skies when I focus on certain things. I'm not sure if it's just a glitch with my camera, since it wasn't an issue with my last one, or maybe I just have to play around with settings.

Hmmm...

3 months until I go back to Italy! I'm incredibly excited about it.

I'm a little anxious to find out about whether or not I've gotten into a Teacher Education program this year, but only a couple weeks til I get the results! I'll most definitely be biting my nails until then.

I've been catching up on all the deviations that have been posted by those artists who I'm watching. I was at just under 1,000, and now I'm at 160, so I'm doing pretty good! I refuse to leave any unseen.

I've been gravitating to many spiritual things lately, which is a bit odd for me, since I'm not a follower of any particular religion. Maybe it's just that time of year.

No school for me right now - it didn't end up working out. Just part time jobs and volunteering for me!

I'm almost done school. AHHHHH!!!! In four weeks I find out what my future has in store. In five weeks I'll be done classes, and in eight weeks I'll be done undergraduate study forever. It's exciting and terrifying at the same time.

I've started updating my website regularly again - feel free to check it out! banananut.net.

Thanks to all my watchers and commenters for being so lovely

Anywho, DA update... I'll slowly be going through the current 162 deviations I have to look at! I'm also going to finish putting up my 2006 pictures and start with my 2007.

Cheers!

I'm excited to be starting my very last term of university, but also quite terrified.

As for submissions, I'm going to be doing bulk updates to finish uploading the pictures I took from 2006 so I can start afresh for 2007.

Thanks to all for your continued support!

It was my birthday last week and I'm getting my grad photo done next week, so I'm starting to feel quite old. I can't believe I'm almost done my undergrad degree. But my birthday was a lot of fun! I had an essay due the day of, but Friday night I had a hotel room and had friends over, then we went to a club and I got to dance the night away. Good times with good friends indeed

Life has been kind of... floaty lately. I know that's a pretty obscure description, but I don't know how else to classify it.

Thanks to all the support I've been getting lately!!! There really are some awesome people in the DA community and I'm glad to have met some of you

Next submissions will be random photographs that I've taken while on nature hikes and what have you. I've been debating whether to put some of my poetry up (that was actually the reason why I created this account back in the day), but I'm not so sure.

I would like to thank *acronymsical for featuring me in his journal a while back. Also many thanks to *galleryum for advertising me on his friends list and giving me constant support. Also the rest of you who have been commenting, favouriting and watching, many many many thanks!

- Jessica

I've still been click clicking away with me wee camera, so I hope to finish uploading pictures from camp and new ones sometime in the future as well, just not sure when. *sigh*

P.S. My new Dev ID was taken by . I think I look concerned, but it has me lovely camera in it!

Anywho, I'm currently catching up on all my watches, then I will start to upload photos of my own ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/9776974/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/9776974/ Fri, 18 Aug 2006 22:09:41 PDT
Thanks for the support on my Caribana pictures! It's greatly appreciated I just uploaded the last one of the bunch.

Bye for Now! ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/9710773/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/9710773/ Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:24:55 PDT
Next pictures that I'm going to post are from a parade called Caribana here in Toronto. It's an annual celebration started 39 years ago as the West-Indian Canadians gift to Canada for her birthday. It was modelled off of Carnival in Trinidad and is filled with gorgeous costumes and amazing music. The pictures I took will all be in the photojournalism category methinks.

In a week I will be gone away to Band Camp! It'll be my first time at one in the summer that's for longer than a weekend, so I'm pretty excited. I imagine I will get some pretty pix up north

Caught a bit of the meteor shower yesterday. It was harder to see them cause the moon flooded out the sky but still got a few!

I'm almost at 1000 pageviews!! I've been a member for 2 years now, but I've only been regularly active recently, so I guess that it's paying off in the way of pageviews and amazing people adding me to watches and commenting on my art. Thank you all so very much! If anyone gets the 1000th view, can you post it on my wall thingy? Thanks in advance!! ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8935846/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8935846/ Wed, 31 May 2006 23:36:15 PDT Photolust has featured Harrison's Cave, Balance under the geology category on May 23. Yay!

I got back from New York City yesterday. My orchestra (the Toronto Youth Wind Orchestra) played at Carnegie Hall on Monday night, and was the first Canadian Youth Wind Orchestra to do so!!!!!! It was very, very mindblowingly amazing. Go TYWO! ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8690619/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8690619/ Sat, 06 May 2006 11:29:31 PDT ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8022827/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/8022827/ Mon, 27 Feb 2006 21:30:40 PST ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/7109626/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/7109626/ Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:22:52 PST

I've been too stressed to write poetry these days, and my Romantic poetry course is scaring me away from ever writing again because these guys just had poetry mastered so well, I don't think I could write without comparing myself to them. My poetry muse has been sleeping but mayhaps she'll awake sometime soon. We'll see. ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/6734805/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/6734805/ Mon, 10 Oct 2005 21:56:36 PDT I decided I might as well add something while I'm here, so I uploaded 3 photos and I moved some of the poetry that I think is just horrid over to scraps.
And off to studying again I go! ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/5671007/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/5671007/ Thu, 16 Jun 2005 21:08:15 PDT they rule indeed!
Unfortunately, I've been quite private with my poetry of late, and the only art i really am any good at is blending... so really that's all i've submitted! I'm hoping to buy a new camera so I can take some really nice pictures this summer.
that is all i babble about for now ^.^ ]]> ~banananut http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/4933664/ http://banananut.deviantart.com/journal/4933664/ Mon, 28 Mar 2005 11:53:52 PST
i would actually like to put up more of my odd poetry. even though it hasn't been too good of late, so i think i will try this at home and have nothing else open. mayhaps it will work then.
hopefully!!!

loving what everyone has been doing. yaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

anywho, i hope to update what i've been working on lately soon. I have some poems and blendy imaging stuff that i've done.

Unforunately, I'm not very strong in the visual arts, but I opened this account so that I could display some of my photographs, digital blends, and mainly my poetry.

I'm slowly uploading things here so I hope you enjoy what there is already

yay! ]]> ~banananut
