These past few days, I have been going straight home from school to study for that dumb ACT. I've probably spent about 15 hours this week on the computer taking practice tests. I've almost felt like I've been detached from the world except for this little thing called the internet. When I drive to school every morning, it is usually dark, being that I leave at 6:30 am. I was running late today for no reason, I just couldn't get myself out of bed. While driving on the interstate, there is a bridge that I always cross over and if you look to your left, you can see the whole city, its amazing. This morning, I looked left and saw this incredible sunrise. Immediately, I got this really weird, natural high feeling. I felt like I haven't ever seen anything like that in my life. I realized that these past few days that I've been so detached from reality because of this dumb macbook of mine. Seeing that sunrise really made me think for the rest of the ride to school. I thought about how I can improve everything I do, and stop being so damn lazy. I know it sounds a little dumb, but it made me realize to value every day. Sunrises happen every single morning, to start off a brand new beautiful day. Anyways, after school today, I went out on a "photo mission", I got over my little silly fear of asking people if I could take their photo. I went around the downtown area and if I saw something that caught my eye, I pulled my car over, got out and took a picture. I went around during lunch at school as well and took photos of the people that looked really content to me. Needless to say, hopefully you'll be seeing some new work from me soon.
