I think.

Spring has finally arrived in Michigan. The weather is warm and sunny, the plants are blooming, and the grass is green. And, yesterday was the perfect spring day; I couldn't not be outside. I headed out to my backyard to play around and to take some photos.

This is my first batch. Flowers. Not particularly creative, but lovely none-the-less.
Expect batch 2 later this week

Love, Peace, and Allergies,
Jackie

The class is such a let down, and my teacher is very pompous-- can't stand that.

New Deviation.

Hello =]

Love,
Me


So, yet another school semester has begun. I'm a junior in college now, you know? That's pretty crazy to think about. In two years I'll graduate. And, in one year I'll be totally legal. I can't say I'm particularly eager for both as I don't really WANT to grow up, and boozing isn't really my thing.

Classes are going well.
++ Shakespeare Seminar and Readings in Creative Non-Fiction terrify me. I have male teachers, and they intimidate me. Also, the classes are for my major, so I'm afraid I might fail the classes (which in turn means I fail as an English major, which in turn means I fail at life).
++ I think I've managed to fool my Japanese teacher into thinking I'm competent when it comes to the Japanese language. I have to admit, I'm more proactive in class: there are fewer students, and I feel more confident. Also, I'm tired to blending into the background as I did in Suzuki Sensei's class, so I'm making an effort to stand out in Tanaka Sensei's class.
++ World Ecological Problems and Man is going to be a dull class. Dull, Dull, Dull, Dull. Then again, most science classes are.

Slowly, I'm getting up the rest of the North Dakota photos. I really need to do something new/ experiment more.

Love, Peace, and WTF? French?

North Dakota is very flat. Very quiet. Very empty. Between the occasional houses, you see long stretches of prairie and farm land.

But, despite the Nothing found in North Dakota, I found the state to be absolutely beautiful. I don't get to see such massive fields of rye or sunflowers every day. And, I don't get to see big tractors taking up an entire road.

And, I've never seen a sky so big before.




After my week trip, I came home with over 600 pictures. Naturally, very few will be post worthy, but I plan to post the photos throughout the weeks.

I spent all of yesterday traveling--literally; I spent 24 hours traveling back from ND to MI. And, even after a days rest, I'm still exhausted. So, it's bed-time for Bonzo!

Love, Peace, and I Want To Go Back To North Dakota!
-Jackie

1. Win the lottery
2. Go to the zoo.
3. If I can't win the lottery, get a job that pays well.
4. Take lots of pictures.

So far, I've only accomplished number 3. I've already saved up $2,400. And, I have about two or three more weeks left of work. Hopefully I'll get up to at least $2,800.

I'm mostly disappointed about not taking loads of pictures. At the beginning of summer, I was filled to the brim with inspiration. And, to be honest, I still am. But, work leaves me completely devoid of energy, and trekking around Michigan is the last thing I want to do, UGH!

I did get a few photographs up from my visit to Wisconsin. And, in August, I'll be spending a week in North Dakota visiting my brother (I hear we'll visit Canada). We're supposed to go adventuring-- hiking and four wheeling. I've done neither. So, I'm excited for the experience as well as the photo opportunities.

Well, I suppose I'll stop rambling on now. I have video games to play. Final Fantasy VII: I've owned it for five years, and I have yet to beat it. This will be my fourth try.

Love, Peace, Summer-To-Do lists,
Jackie

Then, I got sidetracked by the lilac bush in the side yard. I think the photos came out nicely. I really like how simplistic they are.

I haven't had much time to photograph this summer which bums me out! I'm working at a factory making bumpers. But, for $11 an hour, I can't really complain too much. And when I'm not working, I'm sleeping in my boyfriend's bed because I'm too exhausted to actually enjoy my summer vacation away from equally exhausting college.

This growing up thing is not for me, I must say.

I'm going with my boyfriend to his brother's house for BBQ. It should be a fun little shindig. Mebbe I'll bring my camera. His brother has a very photogenic (and energetic) little daughter. As well as playful pups.

For every 100 photographs I snap, only 10 or less of the photographs I feel are worthy of being displayed.

I start my new summer job tomorrow. It's more factory work. It's about all I can find where I live. Although it's not a glamorous job, it will be a pretty descent job. I get to work with Tricia, a lady (a really awesome lady) I worked with at the Sparton factory last summer. And, I'll be making $11 an hour, which is pretty kick ass. I'll have loads of money by the start of school. I might be able to do some traveling at the end of summer.

The school year is almost complete. I have an American Lit. exam on Monday, a Japanese exam on Tuesday, and a British Lit. exam on Wednesday. Then, this semester is complete. What a relief!

Summer vacation approaches.
Common' inspiration. Don't fail me now!

Love, Peace, and empty stomachs,

Two guys drove around in a red truck with a megaphone resting outside their rolled down window. One of the guys said, "Let me tell you the forecast for today. It's nice."

I think we all deemed that as one of the best moments of the day.



This evening didn't go as planned. I was going to go to Matt's Party today with Brooke, Jason, and I. But, sometime after consuming two delicious hot dogs, I was plagued with a terrible pain in my stomach. I asked Ian to drive me home shortly after.
So, I've been sitting here listening to some sweet tunes, editing photographs, and trying to write an essay that's due Tuesday.

In regards to the essay, I'm screwed.

I hear tomorrow will be a good day. Similar to today. I can't wait to spend more time out doors.

Love, Peace, and Springtime Weather,
Jackie

Anyway, I've always enjoyed Easter. I've always enjoyed the silly Easter activities that don't really fit with the holiday-- dyeing eggs and eating chocolate bunnies.

I don't know if my parents plan to get me an Easter basket this year (though, I would be stoked if they did), my mom did buy me an egg dyeing kit.

I've never had so much fun dyeing eggs. I, as a 19 year old college student, probably had way more fun than every kid under 10 in the state of Michigan. Yes, I am that certain.

I had fun photographing my creations as well. I set up a makeshift studio right on my counter. The white backdrop is actually paper towel. I thought it was quite crafty, and it certainly beats photographing on blue counter top.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
And, Happy Easter if you celebrate Easter

Love, Peace, and Hard Boiled Eggs,
Jackie

I've been featured by PurplePancakes

Today, I'm going to work on getting a few more photographs uploaded. As well as boring homework.

Tonight, I'm going to the Hookah Bar with Ryan and Alex. I told my parents and they were not at all pleased.

I've been going through my computer looking at old photographs. It baffles me that I never got around to uploading them. So, hopefully in the upcoming weeks I'll have them all uploaded. I don't mean to overload "New Deviations" folders, ya'know?

Jason Statham is a sexy man. If I weren't to stupidly in love with Marty, I'd totally stalk Mr. Statham. (Actor in Snatch, Crank, and The Bank Job.

Tomorrow, I'm going to the hookah bar in town.

I've posted a new piece. G. Biv. It's not something I normally do, but...I kind of really like it.

I got away from Kalamazoo for the weekend. I went to Nebraska for a family reunion. I can't say my Omaha surroundings were any better than Kalamazoo. Both are very windy, grey, and filled with cement. But, at least I saw a cornfield or two in Omaha/Elkhorn. Anyway, being away from Kalamazoo, I was able to let go of school and life for a while, and I had time to think about things that didn't stress me out. Now, I have several ideas in mind for photography projects, but I cannot execute them until spring or summer. How convenient. Oh, and my mother gave be a really neat idea too!

Gosh, is it Springtime yet?

I lost my lens cap to my camera. Now, I'm terrified to take my camera off my dresser. I'm afraid I'll scratch the lens up. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it already is. I had a pretty brutal travel experience. Ugh. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy Just a camera lens?

Love, Peace, and New Ideas,
Jackie

2. My dad ordered high-speed internet at the house; so, now I can maintain my deviant art account all year round. Not that that really applies so me now since I am away at school.

3. My classes are interesting. I'm taking a Practical Writing course, a British Literature II course, a American Literature I course, Intermediate Japanese I course, and a Drug Use and Social Impact course.

4. It baffles me that I only have 2 1/2 years left of this college thing

5. I uploaded a few photographs today. They're relatively old, dating back to the first of December when I went to Grand Rapids, Michigan for vacation

6. Where did the snow and cold weather go? =[

7. I had some amazing chicken noodle soup. But, it burned my tongue. Now, everything will taste like rubber for the next week. Bummer.

Love, Peace, and Lists,

Autumn's colors.
It's an older picture from two months ago. I forgot about it.

I went over to Ian's house so we could study Biology together. We weren't very productive. We ended up taking about Tanning Salons and watching Metalacalypse instead. Okay, so I was productive. Because I did finish my Bio review sheets, and I even did four Japanese worksheets.

Then, Ian convinced me to go bowling. He said, "You can't go back to your dorm stressed out." But going bowling didn't do much to ease my stress. I'm uber competitive; so, I was displeased with myself when I lost to both Matt and Ian. Especially Ian since he hardly ever bowls above a 70.

I'm trying to think of as many things as possible that will keep me awake for another hour or so. I really want to talk to Marty tonight. Like, actually talk to him. As in, not in a half asleep stage since I usually get the phone call an hour after I've fallen asleep.

To Do:
Finish this Journal
Read over Bio once more
Take a really long shower
Write

Not in that particular order.


Also, I've uploaded two new pictures today.
From my Grand Rapids, MI series. Hoorah!

Love, Peace, and Eight Pound Bowling Balls,

However, I am looking forward to going to the Miller Auditorium to watch some Christmas Jazz with Chelsea and Ann.




New photograph that I snapped at my boyfriend's house. I can't decide if I like it or not. The Moon is Down.

I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan right now.
I'm staying in this very ritzy hotel called the JW Marriott. And the downtown is very lively. Both are very photogenic, and I was able to snap a decent amount of photographs. So, I can't wait to upload them within the next few weeks

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Stay warm if you're living in the north. I know, right now we're getting pummeled with a winter snow storm where I live.

Today, I presented Ann with her graduation present. Finally, five months after the fact. But, I can tell she was totally geeked. I'm quite proud of my work. Though, I wish I could have personalized it more. Although, it is a scrapbook; so, I'm not quite sure how much more personal you can get...
Regardless, it wasn't my best work. The two I made before this remain my favorite.
Right now, I'm in the process of burning all the mix cds that go along with the pages in the scrapbook. It's very frustrating, as I have just realized that I deleted a song by accident.
Across the Universe by The Beatles.
And, for some reason, I cannot find a good version of it on Limewire.

Last night I spent some time cleaning out the gallery. I got rid of all the crap photographs and drawings. I'm still not totally confident about the works I have posted, but I still think they are worth of sharing.

Also, I uploaded a bunch of random sketches and cartoon drawings.
I am not an artist. Especially when it comes to drawing. It's just something I do when I'm bored. I mostly like to pretend I'm an astonishing artist.
EPIC FAIL.

And, today I uploaded the rest of the photographs from South Haven, Michigan. Oh No! I'm running out of things to post! I need to go on an adventure soon.

Love, Peace, and Illegal Downloads,
Jackie

I woke up, and I went to Rocketstar Cafe. I sipped on a soy, chai tea latte, nibbled on a muffin, and read a zine called My Pink Scarf #11.
A very relaxing hour and a half.

Well, it's that time of the year here in Kalamazoo. That time when all photographic inspiration is drained from me. Kalamazoo is hardly beautiful in the winter time. At least it was last year.

Who knows, maybe if I keep a positive attitude about things I'll be so overwhelmed with beauty that I will hardly have enough room on my memory sticks...

Anyway...

I go home in four days for Thanksgiving Break.
I'm terribly excited; these next few days will drag by slowly.
I GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN!!!

Love, Peace, and attempts to be positive,

I'm disappointed in myself.

I've been busy with school work lately. I have so much of it. Yuck.

I miss Marty. He came to visit this weekend; so that was fun. I failed to get pictures; I was so preoccupied by him.

My best friend and her boyfriend of over a year broke up. I don't know how to be a good friend to her.

But, over all, things are good.

I did have a nice time this weekend. I spent it in Tawas with Ian. I took nearly one-hundred photographs, but I ended up only keeping four. They were the only half-decent ones I found. I was pretty disappointed with my collection.

I posted two new photographs; check em out. Something about a Thrift Store Find and another about the boy whom I love.

Tomorrow I'm leaving campus, and I'm going home with my friend Ian. We're going back to his hometown of Tawas, Michigan. I, of course, will be armed with my camera. So, I hope when I return to the wonderful world of high-speed internet I'll be able to upload loads of my photographs! I can only hope for an endless supply of batteries and some amazing photo opportunities!

I've uploaded two more photographs today; they're of a train. I took them sometime during the summer. Actually, it was the day of my birthday party, and I was rushing back to the house-- I was late to my own party.

I hope you enjoy!

But, ever since I've been back I've been feeling rather peculiar. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I'm feeling homesick. If home were synonymous with Marty.

Well, I posted four new photos. I had planned on submitting the deviations in series, but I found that the photographs were fine on their own. Besides, I don't have the time to submit a series load of photographs.

This summer, my family went to Wisconsin to visit family friends. We stayed at a bed and breakfast that had its own private dock which just so happens to be the photograph in my featured Deviation.

Also, there are two new playground photographs. I think maybe I need a new subject since I tend to photograph parks a lot. I cannot help it though. I'm just so drawn to them.

And, the final was a photograph of my friend Brooke during our exploration of downtown Kazoo. She looks so incredibly gorgeous in the photograph; so, I HAD to post it.

Right, well, I really need to study for Japanese now. I have a speaking test tomorrow that I'm not really looking forward to.

Biology is a waste of my life. I really wish I could just skip the class. I don't pay attention anyway. Maybe I'll bring my iPod to class today. Uh-oh, I'm already starting with such BAD HABITS!
Speaking of bad habits, I'm going over to Matt and Aaron's tonight with Ian to play a few games of Euchre. I really hope Ian doesn't make me stay there all night. As much fun as I had last year, I really don't need to be staying awake until 3:00 in the morning playing Euchre. But, I am looking forward to seeing them again. I haven't seen Aaron in about four months.

Oh, I've updated with four new photos. There were more from the series that I didn't post. I guess I didn't think they were worthy. But, the photos were taken circa Spring. I was armed with my iPod and I wandered around my road. It's a beautiful place. A dirt road. Very country looking. Dandelions everywhere; I love dandelions.

Well, I'm gonna be late for class; so, I ought to head out. I hope you enjoy =]

Love, Peace, and Euchre Games,
Jackie

Hopefully my updates won't be so few and far between for a while.

Last night I uploaded about six pictures? I don't quite remember how many. All revolve around a park. All photographs were taken at the request of a friend. She wanted to put together a scrapbook for her boyfriend for their One Year. And, since they spent a lot of time at the park, she wanted to include some photographs in the scrapbook.
I thought they turned out pretty worthy of DeviantArt.

As for my life:
It's pretty hectic, but I'm enjoying myself. I'm taking Basic Japanese II, Public Speaking, Biology + Lab, and a Creative Writing Workshop. It doesn't seem like it, but I do actually have a busy schedule. Not to mention, I've been running around between friends to run errands or just to hang out. Yes, it most certainly does feel good to be back on campus.

Oh, but I really do miss my boy <3...

Love, Peace, and Longing Hearts,
-Jackie

The first series I've added is my "Jackson Series".
An uncreative title for the series, but it gets straight to the point! I spent quite a bit of my time in downtown Jackson this summer. And unless my camera was out of batteries (which happened more often that I would have liked) I was photographing everything that looked KINDA neat.

I hope you enjoy!

Love, Peace, and a Taste of Downtown,
Jackie

My summer has been pretty amazing. I've had a lot of fun, and I even worked hard. I managed to save up over $1,000, rekindle a friendship (somewhat), and snag a boyfriend.

But, summer hasn't been a breeze. I've always had an issue with anxiety, and I was pretty quiet about it until recently. But, I think vocalizing my concerns have been a good thing. I think I'm finally ready to make things right, and hopefully learn better ways to cope with stress. It won't be easy, but I know that I can do it. Plus, I have friends and family supporting me.

I go back to college tomorrow. I'm trying out for the Western Michigan University color guard team with my best friend, Ann. I'm not 100% sure if I want to do this though. I guess I'll find out by the end of this week. Maybe it's just that lack of motivation that goes along with this anxiety thing that I have? I'm sure once I'm back in the atmosphere, I'll fall in love with color guard all over again.

I'm trying to be optimistic.

Even though, I'm really terrified of college this year. I'm afraid of things going completely downhill. I'm afraid of failing classes (because I picked out hard ones). And I'm afraid of losing best friends.

As for the art aspect of this entry. I've taken loads of photographs this summer. I'll be uploading them in a sort of series. I hope you all enjoy my photographs! And, I hope that I'll be more adamant about updating this site throughout the school year.

(What's so funny about) Peace, Love, and Understanding,
Jackie

But, I suppose I should be grateful I was able to make memories like these at all, right?

Photography aside,
I'm getting tired of school. Professors are loading students up with final projects now that there are only four weeks of school left. I have a paper due Tuesday on a book I DO NOT have. Somehow I need to get my hands on a copy of Magical Writing of Salasca for my Anthropology class. [Ultimately, I'm going to have to spend $40 on a book that I'll only use in these next four days. I'm pretty psyched.]

Well, I'm off to the cafeteria to eat a quick dinner and study for my Kanji quiz today for my Japanese class.

Peace, Love, and Magical Writings of Salasca,
Jackie
