Dreaming on (I mean of) Desks

So I am now in my 2nd week of school for the 2011-12 year.

Not just any kind of school.

College.

**********************

So far, I like it ok. It's not really any harder than high school right now.

The only difference is more homework.

That is what my life consists of lately.

Homework, work, more homework, work, and maybe a little more homework.

**********

Life is getting monotonous...and I don't like it.

I also don't like the fact that I can't even do my homework on my desk because...well...

I can't really see the surface.

*blushes*

I clean it every other week or so...but it clutters right back up again.

So lately, I've been getting my homework done on my bed...which works fine...

but it's awfully hard on the butt and back. ;)

(it's true though)

Looking through pictures of beautiful desks and study areas have inspired me to clean

and spice mine up a bit...eventually.

So if you are feeling like you are drowning in homework and really don't feel like picking

up your pencil again, look through these pics.

Maybe they will inspire and excite you a bit.

So come on...tell me. Which one do you absolutely HAVE to have?

Photography Inspiration

I am so inspired by photography. They give me such good ideas for photoshoots. Here are some photos that I love. It would be so much fun to get together with some friends and give some of these tecniques a try.

These two would be a blast to do with friends. For this first one...depending on how many friends you have....you could spell anything you wanted!

With this one...I would make some changes. I don't like the way some of the people have their hands. I would have everyone do a peace sign, or hold hands.

For some strange reason, I love pics of people jumping. Especially when it's a silhouette.

I thought this one was really creative. I love the sun beam and how it makes everyone a silhouette. And the umbrellas add a splash of color. Plus...umbrellas when it's sunny. How cool is that???

I would love to do something like this at my wedding. It just looks like they're having so much fun! I like fun wedding photos.....that way they aren't all mooshy gooshy. ;) And finally.....balloons. AHHHH!!! I Love Them! They just make me happy inside! And hello!! It's so easy to take pics with them!!! I mean, they're cheap and they look good anytime, anywhere. (Why haven't I taken some pics with them before???) I thought it was so cool how the only thing colorful in this pic are the balloons. Well, that's it for now. Hope I inspired you to mabye go out and take some pics. I know they inspired me! Have a great day ya'll.

Inspiration!

This is the song I used as inspiration for my blog title. It's called "Live for Today" (obviously...) by Natalie Grant. The lyrics are below the song. Enjoy the picture of the swan... makes you feel peaceful doesn't it?

Lyrics:

Sittin' in my room staring at the wall

Wonderin' about the meaning of it all

Why is it this thing called life

Has got me goin' crazy

So I open up your word and let it speak to me

The purpose and the plan that you've designed

Is clear to see, and I believe

Chorus:

I'm gonna live for today

I'm gonna follow in your way

I'm gonna let my little light shine

Like there's no tomorrow

I won't worry about the past

I know my future is intact

So I'll choose to live my life one way

I'm gonna live it for today

You told me not to worry

About what lies ahead

So I am gonna focus on today instead

Making every moment count and counting

Every single blessing

I'm gonna set my mind on the

Here and the Now

This is what I want my life to be about

And this is How...
