Ah finally...

school break! I have been working 17 loss ass weeks in my first semester of Respiratory Therapy at PIMA. I went through 10 classes and kept about a 3.34 GPA. I'm really proud of myself. Today is my first day of doing really next to nothing, it feels really good. I made myself some lunch, watched a little catch up T.V. (CSI, CSI: Maimi, Storage Wars, and Top Chef: Desserts).

Here's my lunch photos (oh yeah, and now I can take photos of things that I normally don't have time doing while I'm studying or in class, or studying again). ha.

HW

I loved school, I loved putting on my uniform and doing homework every day. I was one of those good students that the teachers liked. I guess that's got to be a pretty nerdy, geeky part of me.

These flowers remind me of Dale Chihuly's garden art--

Sandia Mountains

K. and I ventured to the Sandia Mountains on Tuesday. We always travel the back road to Placitas, and on our way we discovered these yellow blooms.

Day 11

Some days I feel like I've lost my marbles--

It's been one of those weeks-- Where I just can't win. Tomorrow is a new day, eh?

may 8 -- photo shoot at rio grande botanic gardens

karla is working doing a part-time massage gig at spirit river healing arts and needed a picture for her bio, so we decided to head over to rio grande botanic gardens located here in albuquerque. we had a blast-- looking at the new blooms, the green, and finding new parts of the gardens.



this is a poppy that was waving in the breeze near the entrance of the park.



we started into the gardens and decided to just take random shots of karla at certain areas of our favourite spots.

spring break

it's finally spring break-- i've noticed that when school is happening and i'm kind of have school on my mind, pictures just aren't happening. but it's spring break now and i'm ready to take some photos, plus, karla and i are heading to portland, oregon for some relaxation and some fun times. the camera will be out and i'll be uploading new photos then.

day 10

this is day 10. as i explained in previous post, i was caught up in mid-terms, so i'm thinking this is day 10 of photos. yesterday, karla and i went to the botanical gardens here in albuquerque and had a wonderful time. it was great seeing spring appear through the leaves and looking around at the wonderful colours.

i love flowers. flowers to me are pure happiness. they light up my eyes and make me smile from deep within.


spring is near.
